Fringe Docker given OUTRAGEOUS new video game rating

Fringe Docker given OUTRAGEOUS new video game rating

Perth Now08-05-2025
Fremantle stars Caleb Serong and Andrew Brayshaw are among the highest-rated players in the latest edition of the AFL's official video game.
But it's the rating of Dockers forward Bailey Banfield — who has battled to break into their side this year — that has caught the eye.
Serong is the top-rated West Australian-based player in the game, which was released on Thursday, with 92, while his Dockers midfield mate Brayshaw is alongside a host of the game's stars on 91.

Players are given a rating out of 100, which relates to their strength in the game.
West Coast veterans Jeremy McGovern and Elliot Yeo are both 87-rated players, while Tim Kelly has been given an 86 rating and Jake Waterman 83.
Second-year jet Harley Reid is rated 82.
But of all the WA-based players, the most surprising rating belongs to Banfield, who is on the outer at Fremantle.
The forward has been sensationally rated 87, the same as the two top Eagles and more than a host of gun teammates including high-priced recruit Shai Bolton.
He shares that level with Sam Switkowski, Sean Darcy and two-time All Australian Luke Ryan.
And the lowest-rated Docker is small forward Isaiah Dudley, who made his debut earlier this season and has become an important part of Justin Longmuir's side already this season.
Serong, Brayshaw, Hayden Young, Jordan Clark, Luke Jackson and Josh Treacy are the only Fremantle players ranked higher.
The lowest-ranked Eagle is draftee Lucca Greggo, who has impressed in the early rounds of the WAFL season.
WA and Carlton's two-time Brownlow medallist Patrick Cripps is the game's top-rated player with 94, ahead of Collingwood's Nick Daicos on 93 and Tom Green, Marcus Bontempelli and Serong on 92.

Port regain pair for Gabba test, Sicily back for Hawks

Jack Lukosius will play his first AFL game since round two as Port Adelaide are boosted for their big Gabba test. Brownlow Medallist Ollie Wines will also return to the Power midfield for Saturday night's away match against second-placed Brisbane. The Power are two games plus percentage outside the top eight and badly need a big scalp if they are to press for the finals. Lukosius fractured his kneecap in round two and starred last week in the SANFL, while Wines has been out of action for the last two games with a knee injury. Defender Darcy Gardiner and premiership player Callum Ah Chee are important inclusions for the Lions. Hawthorn captain James Sicily will return from his hip injury on Saturday night against St Kilda, with midfielder James Worpel (quad) also back. The Hawks were rocked this week with the news that in-form defender Josh Weddle is out for several weeks with a stress reaction in his back, while Sam Butler is also sidelined because of soreness. Injury-plagued Essendon have recalled Jordan Ridley, Sam Durham and veteran ruckman Todd Goldstein for Saturday's match against Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium. Among their outs is Darcy Parish (calf), one of the players hurt on the weekend at a training session as their run of soft-tissue injuries continues. Ned Moyle will return for the Suns and go up against Goldstein in the ruck. Geelong are unchanged for their Saturday home twilight match against Richmond, who regained Sam Lalor from a hamstring injury. Richmond defender Josh Gibcus, a top-10 draft pick in 2021, will make his return to action in the VFL after a 15-month lay-off with a knee injury. Meanwhile, slumping Carlton made a whopping six changes for Friday night's match against arch-rivals Collingwood. The Blues dropped Jordan Boyd, Alex Cincotta, Billy Wilson and Lewis Young, while Adam Saad and Jack Silvagni are injured. Brownlow Medallist Tom Mitchell is among four Collingwood inclusions, for his first AFL game in more than a year after recovering from a foot injury. Veteran Magpies onballer Steele Sidebottom is out because of illness among four changes.

Eagles boosted as star Giants pair to miss Friday's clash

Coleman medallist Jesse Hogan will miss the clash against West Coast on Friday night, the Eagles also set to be boosted by the absence of Lachie Whitfield. It comes as West Coast confirm their only change will be draftee Malakai Champion coming in to replace winger Jayden Hunt in a likely sub role. Hogan was the chief destroyer in round four when the Giants demolished the Eagles by 81 points at ENGIE Stadium, kicking an equal career-high nine goals against Sandy Brock on the youngster's debut. Eagles coach Andrew McQualter said earlier in the week West Coast had been weighing up which of Brock, Harry Edwards or Reuben Ginbey would take the towering West Australian goalkicker, but they will now be freed up to have at least one play an intercept role. The absence of the Giants' pair, as well as the Eagles missing Jake Waterman due to injury and Jeremy McGovern due to retirement, means all of the two clubs' All-Australian players will be missing. Champion will become the eighth Eagle to earn his wings in season 2025 after Archer Reid, Brock, Hamish Davis, Tom Gross, Bo Allan, Tom McCarthy and Jobe Shanahan. He is also the fifth of the 2024 draft crop to debut and the third Naitanui Academy graduate to represent the blue and gold after being drafted to West Coast. The young forward has kicked seven goals in 11 WAFL outings this season and fittingly plays his first match just days after fellow Kalgoorlie product and premiership hero Dom Sheed hung up his boots. The Eagles will also celebrate NAIDOC week in round 17, wearing the club's First Nations jumper that featured during Sir Doug Nicholls round and the club's only victory this season against St Kilda.
