Bailey Williams has enjoyed a breakout season in 2023 after grabbing his opportunity as West Coast's No.1 ruck in the absence of Nic Naitanui.
"It might seem like it's happened just like that this year, but it's been a long road for me and a lot of work has gone on behind the scenes. In a way I've been lucky to have this opportunity to get exposure at the level," Williams said.
"Early days, the club were really supportive, and now that I'm stringing games together and finding good form, they're really backing me in. Getting that consistency in the team has been great for my footy."
