Seven names added to Western Australia's Origin lineup

Western Australia has selected seven fresh faces to their list, with the 2026 AFL Origin line-up slowly reaching completion, contributing more star-studded inclusions to last week's player announcement.

Brisbane Lions premiership pair Callum Ah Chee and Brandon Starcevich will join the WA squad, bringing their back-to-back victory expertise to the line-up.

24 year-old Fremantle local Trent Rivers, has also been recognised, as the dynamic youngster gears up to join Demons' teammate Kysaiah Pickett, who was announced as a representative for WA last week. The pair will face up against their fearless leader, with Max Gawn being named on the Victorian side in the upcoming contest.

The three will slot in alongside Port Adelaide's Mitch Georgiades, Geelong's Lawson Humphries, Western Bulldogs' Rory Lobb, and Gold Coast's Wil Powell.

Combining explosive defenders and strong key forward young guns with experienced star-power, WA is quickly assembling a line-up packed with competitive prowess, building anticipation for the ultimate WA v VIC contest.

This addition leaves open a final few spots up for grabs in the WA line-up, with final team announcements to come early in the new year.
