Players to Watch
Christian Ameduri: Another player hits 100 games, and this week it is our co-captain Christian Ameduri. Christian has been a fantastic player at the club for a long time and will be at his hard running, hard tackling and goal scoring best on the weekend.
Hamish Brayshaw: Fellow co-captain Hamish Brayshaw has been in great form of late and will look to continue that against his old team this weekend. Hamish is coming of 36 disposals last week and should get plenty of the ball in this one.
Coby Burgiel: Coby is another player coming up against his old side this week. Coby has become an important player for the Royals in the forward half with three crucial goals last week, and he will be looking to get a couple more this week.

The Opposition
Unfortunately for the West Coast WAFL side it has been another disappointing year. Two wins from 14 games is not what to club would’ve wanted, but it hasn’t been all bad. They have come close in a lot of games this year, and at their best, beat top of the table South Fremantle, the only team to do so this year. For East Perth, this is a fixture they have dominated over history, with the Royals winning nine out of 11 games played against each other. While this game is anyone’s for the taking, East Perth will take a lot of confidence into this game with recent history and form on their side.
