Essendon's Scott Gumbleton will not be considered for selection in Friday night's NAB Cup clash against West Coast at Subiaco Oval because of a back injury at training last night.

West Coast midfielder Daniel Kerr will be one of the main beneficiaries of boundary umpires being allowed to pay free kicks during the NAB Cup, according to his teammate Brad Ebert.

Geelong have suspended Mathew Stokes until round eight of the AFL season and fined him $5000 after the forward was charged last week with possession and trafficking of cocaine.

New recruit Barry Hall kicked two goals and kept his aggression controlled in an impressive debut for his new AFL club Western Bulldogs.
