Demons axe flag hero and young guns as season slips
Melbourne premiership defender Jake Lever and two young guns have been axed in a bold selection call from coach Simon Goodwin. With the Demons' season all but shot - in 15th spot with just five wins - Goodwin dumped Lever, Jacob van Rooyen and Caleb Windsor for their away game against Gold Coast. Goodwin summoned a trio of emerging talent in Matthew Jefferson, Koltyn Tholstrup and Harry Sharp for Saturday afternoon's fixture. The ninth-placed Suns, seeking a win to return to the top eight, replaced Nick Holman with Alex Sexton. Sydney summoned battle-hardened duo Jake Lloyd and Ollie Florent for their season-shaping clash against the Western Bulldogs. Lloyd and Florent return as the Swans press to make further inroads - they're 11th, two wins shy of the eighth-placed Bulldogs. Sydney lost forward Joel Amartey to an undisclosed injury, a week after the wayward forward booted 0.6 in a 19-point win over Port Adelaide. Swans coach Dean Cox also dropped Riley Bice for the Friday night SCG encounter against the Dogs, who made two changes to the team that thumped Richmond by 79 points last Sunday. Midfielder Adam Treloar will miss at least six weeks because of another calf tear and rookie Josh Dolan has been dropped, replaced by stalwart Jason Johannisen and Ryley Sanders. Ladder leaders Collingwood named 19-year-old key forward Charlie West for his AFL debut against lowly West Coast on Saturday night. South Australian West, pick 50 at last year's national draft, joins Charlie Dean in the Magpies side, replacing injured duo Billy Frampton and Beau McCreery. Hawthorn dropped Henry Huswaite for their danger game against North Melbourne, with Cameron Mackenzie returning for Saturday afternoon's encounter in Launceston. The Kangaroos, fresh from a plucky 11-point win over Carlton, called on Will Dawson to replace Charlie Comben.
