East Perth will have 14 West-Coast listed players at its disposal for tomorrow’s crunch contest with South Fremantle.
The Royals, who need a win against the second-placed Bulldogs to hold onto their spot in the top five, will be bolstered by the return of dashing half-back Jackson Nelson.
However, East Perth will more than likely take the field at Fremantle Oval without in-form forward Matt Allen, who travelled to Adelaide from the Eagles’ clash with the Crows.
Dom Sheed will have another run with the Royals and he appears set to be joined by Hamish Brayshaw, who is in line to make his WAFL league debut against the Bulldogs.
The 20-year-old, who has spent most of the year in West Coast’s rehabilitation group after sustaining a knee injury during a pre-season practice match against Peel, has impressed in his two recent outings with East Perth’s reserves side.
He gathered 21 disposals in his return match against Subiaco’s second side a fortnight ago and backed that up with a 22-disposal, four-tackle and three-mark showing against Claremont’s reserves last weekend.
The Royals’ league side will go to war with the Bulldogs at 2.15pm tomorrow.
