Players to Watch

Angus Scott: Returning from injury, Angus Scott has been named in the side on the wing for his first game of the season. A hard runner and great ball user, Angus is sure to make an instant impact for the team.

Tom North: Tom has been in top form to start the season. Playing as a full-time mid, Tom has averaged 26 disposals over his first two games and is primed to continue this run of form on Friday.

Zac Raykos: Coming off a career-high 31 Disposals last week, Zac is starting to make a name for himself in the league side. His effort-based style of game makes him a strong asset to the team.

Christian Ameduri: Once again, the co-captain makes this list. Christian leads the league in tackles across the first two games with 20. His pressure-based game and burst out of stoppages will be crucial in securing victory again this week.

The Opposition

Claremont is once again looking like a strong team for the 2025 season. After a draw in Round 1 against Peel Thunder, they came out and beat East Fremantle by 80 points last weekend. Claremont will come into this fixture full of confidence on the back of these results. Claremont have also won the last 3 three matches against East Perth, including a final in 2023. Claremont definitely pose a threat to opposition teams this year and they will be hard to beat in our Friday Night game.
