Rhylee West regains form ahead of Western Bulldogs elimination final

Summary

Western Bulldogs forward Rhylee West returns to the senior side for Saturday’s elimination final against Adelaide following a period of inconsistent form. West was dropped to the VFL in July, missing the round-17 clash against Sydney, but used the time to play alongside his brother, Levi. The 26-year-old indicated that the demotion taught him to maintain a disciplined approach as the team prepares for the post-season. Both West and teammate Joel Freijah have returned to the selection frame after adjustments to their roles mid-season. The Bulldogs now focus on the upcoming knockout match at Adelaide Oval as they look to extend their finals campaign.
