Subiaco ruckman Michael Rix might have played for Victoria before, but will shelve that for a WA jumper on Saturday and he's desperate to help it achieve a State game win that could make the WAFL competition the strongest below the AFL.

The WAFL representative team will take on the best of the VFL in a State match at Leederville's Medibank Stadium on Saturday.

From the VFL website

The VFL State selectors have revised the VFL State Squad ahead of training tonight (18/5) and Thursday prior to Saturday's match.

Unfortunately Sam Gibson (Box Hill Hawks) and Matthew Tyler (North Ballarat) will miss out due to injuries.

The squad will be further revised to a travelling party of 24 after the training on Thursday. WA have agreed to play 23 players, in line with the VFL 23rd Player rule.
