Players to Watch
Angus Scott: A big week for Angus Scott as he plays his 100th game in the black and blue this week. Angus has been part of the club since 2019 and will be relishing the opportunity to put up a big performance in his milestone game.
Sam Van Diemen: Sam is one of the most exciting players to watch for the Royals, exemplified by his goal of the year contender last week. Sam has averaged 2 goals over his last 5 games, and his ability to get on the scoreboard will help secure a victory again this week.
Kye Willcocks: After a delayed start to the season, fan favourite Kye Willcocks is back to his best footy with a season high 21 disposals last week. Kye’s run and dash of the halfback line is something to look forward to again in this week’s game.

The Opposition
Perth are having one of its best seasons in recent history, currently sitting in 4th place with an 8-4 record. Boasting a well-rounded squad, they are particularly strong in the midfield, with stars like Charlie Constable and Brandon Parfitt, both considered Sandover Medal contenders. This game will undoubtedly pose a big challenge for East Perth. Although Perth emerged victorious earlier in the season, East Perth has generally performed well in this matchup, especially when playing at home. With both teams fighting for crucial ladder positions, this game could have significant implications for the rest of the season. Expect a finals-like atmosphere as both sides battle for a spot in the top ranks.
