WEST COAST rookie Ryan Davis looks set to make his AFL debut after being elevated to the senior list.
Davis, a 189cm defender will travel with the squad to the Gold Coast today and is likely to play in Saturday night's clash against the Kangaroos at Carrara Stadium.
The progress of Davis, who joined the club's rookie list courtesy of the AFL scholarship program in NSW, has been remarkable since arriving at the club late last year, with the impressive youngster nominated by his WAFL club for selection to represent Western Australia in an interstate match next month.
The 18-year-old was included in the squad, but is now hoping to become ineligible for that team by virtue of playing in the West Coast senior team.
The Eagles made application last night for Davis to be elevated, with young forward Mitch Brown, who suffered a serious knee injury in a pre-season match, being placed on the long term injury list. The AFL today processed the paperwork.
