Country Football journeymen Chris Kane (pictured) will be a suprise inclusion for the GNFL in its Saturday evening match against the Avon in Geraldton.

After having successful stints for both Glenelg and Woodville West Torrens in the SANFL, Kane's first year of country football in 2015 in the SWFL saw him net a Haywood Medal and a League Premiership for Bussleton.  Having moved to Geraldton early in the year, he was an obvious target for the experienced League Coach Dave Fiorenza to approach once he had joined Towns.

GNFL will choose a quick and exciting team and will be hoping to get a jump on the Avon early and get the home side in the match. Former East Fremantle player Leith Teakle will be hoping to add a Landmark title to his football accomplishments and will provide experience around and behind the ball. Former Carlton star, Nick Duigan is also a welcome addition to the side and can pinch hit at either end of the ground. 

Jordan Comeagain (pictured) has been in good touch at a club level and also impressed with flashes of brilliance in a recent State Country trial match.

Saturday's match is certainly shaping as the battle of the fast, free flowing football of the GNFL against the hardened, contested football from the Avon.  Key Avon players Troy Skilton, Nathan De Blecourt and Todd Rogers are all seasoned country players and will all be looking to impart a physical presence on the game.  

Skilton has been used across half back for State Country teams but his experience and tackling will likely see him spending time in the midfield on Saturday.

Rogers can not only stay at home in the deep forward position but is also handy on the lead and will be hoping to kick a bag for Avon. Towns' Rohan Fariss may be called upon throughout the night to curtail the larger Rogers.

Silky left footer Scott Doncon will be looking to hit Rogers up at every opportunity and has the ability to carry the lines with his precision long kicking.

His Keller Tammin Team mate James Venturini will be hoping to impress his former home town as well as state country selectors and is as dangerous as anyone in country football when given room to move. 

The game shapes as the hardest road trip of the 2016 program and if Avon is to win it will set them up beautifully for a Division 1 Grand Final in a few weeks.  For this to happen all their gun players will need to be at their absolute best.
