East Perth will have 13 West Coast-listed players to choose from for its critical round four clash with Perth at Lathlain Park.
Tomorrow’s match will feature the long-awaited returns of off-season recruit Brendon Ah Chee and the Eagles’ second selection in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft, Oscar Allen.
Ah Chee has not played a game since suffering an ankle injury during West Coast’s opening JLT Community Series encounter with Port Adelaide, while Allen has not been available for selection due to a case of shin splints that derailed his first AFL pre-season.
It is yet to be determined whether Ah Chee and Allen will return via the Royals’ reserves or league teams, but it has been confirmed that both will only play limited minutes during their comeback matches.
In-form big man Fraser McInnes is available to face the Demons, as is budding key forward Jarrod Brander and developing midfielder Brayden Ainsworth.
Francis Watson, Tom Cole, Jack Petruccelle and Will Schofield are listed as emergencies for West Coast’s clash with Carlton, but the latter pair are more than likely to be available for the WAFL encounter.
East Perth and Perth will go to battle at 2.15pm on Saturday.
