El hawli the only player named in both senior and VFL teams so likely he’s not been selected for seniors.
That’s the strongest VFL side I can remember us wheeling out for some time.
A few underdone types in Robey, Jones, Unwin, Cox, etc but the midfield & forward line has a decent amount of talent & senior experience for this level. Binns should be a handy addition on the wing.
I reckon El-Hawli will still play if our travelling emgs are whoever Kako & Gresham replace.
