NORTH Ballarat ruckman Tristan Cartledge has a chance to impress AFL scouts in next Saturday's interstate clash with Western Australia at Port Melbourne.
Cartledge was delisted by Essendon after playing seven AFL games in 2005 and 2006 and returned to the Roosters - his junior football club.
He is North Ballarat's only representative in the state squad of 39 but all AFL-listed players (except rookies) are ineligible and the Roosters have a number of Kangaroos in their line-up.
The clash with WA is fitting reward for Cartledge's good recent form.
"He can be a great story for the VFL - to not get listed, have a good year in the VFL, and be ready to go again. That reinforces the value of the level," North Ballarat coach Gerard Fitzgerald said.
"They have picked a squad that is in form. The VFL's coverage of the games has been terrific."
