Emerging tall Bailey Williams will take momentum into 2024 coming off a career-best season. In his fifth season in the blue and gold, Williams played all but one game, besting his stats across the board and establishing himself as one of the most exciting young rucks in the competition. Originally featuring in the Eagles’ lineup as a back-up ruck behind Nic Naitianui, the athletic big man has carved his own path and was one of West Coast’s most consistent performers in 2023, finishing sixth the John Worsfold Medal count. With the recruitment of former GWS ruckman Matt Flynn, Williams is set to take on more of a forward-ruck style role in 2024.
