PATRICK McGinnity is just excited to be heading back to Claremont Oval to lead East Perth into Sunday's elimination final, but moreover, he is excited about what the future holds for the Royals and wants to be part of it.
McGinnity has committed himself to East Perth as co-captain the last two years after his 93-game AFL career at the West Coast Eagles came to an end as he prepares to lead the Royals into battle on Sunday.
East Perth returns to finals action having finished in fifth position to book a place against Claremont in the elimination final at Claremont which provides for a homecoming of sorts for McGinnity who is a product of the Tigers.
