Round 16 Preview | Perth

East Fremantle are back from the bye, to take on the in-form Demons at Lathlain Park.

The anomaly of this year’s fixtures sees the two sides meeting just five weeks after their last encounter. Perth prevailed at their home ground in round 11, with the Sharks victors in the earlier season clash.

The Sharks should be refreshed after the bye and despite not tasting success in recent times, there have been encouraging signs over the past two rounds with better pressure and ball movement.

Into the 25 this week come Michael Cronan, Aaron Holmes, Tom Marshall, Zac McCarrey, Leon Pearton, Jesse Wynne and Russell Wynne (team line up below).

With more players returning from injury, our Development League tasted success over the Falcons in round 14 and will look for back to back wins this week.

The Colts competition continues to excite, with two games separating first and fourth place. Up to ten changes will be made to the side, including three debutants; Tom Collins, Josh Harris-Walker and Zach Guippa taking the total number of Colts’ players to 55.
