Round 11 | Match Preview

Friday, June 18, 2021 - 2:57 PM

WAFL action returns for the East Fremantle Sharks this Saturday as they take on the Perth Demons at Mineral Resources Park.  

Following the bye last week, the Sharks will be looking to return to the winner list against the impressive Perth Demons and move into sixth spot on the ladder. 

The Sharks welcome the return of star midfielder Luke English, who missed last match due to concussion while Brynn Teakle will play his third game of league football in the ruck, with Luke Strnadica playing forward to help cover the loss of injured pair Dillon O’Reilly and Hugh Dixon. 

East Fremantle young gun Cody Smith will make his league debut against the Demons. The 21-year-old has averaged 22 disposals, five marks and six tackles over his past four reserves matches and has thoroughly deserved his opportunity.  

East Fremantle Football Operation Manager, Brad Dodd said: “Cody has built a strong body of work over the season and thoroughly deserves his opportunity. He has continued to improve and can play a variety of positions”.

Perth have won three of their previous five fixtures, one of those fixtures being against the Sharks in round five and will be looking to move into the top five on the ladder with a win of their own. 
 
The East Fremantle Reserves are coming off a fantastic 44-point win over South Fremantle and will be looking to make it back-to-back wins against a similarly placed Demons Reserves side.  
 
The Sharks Reserves welcome back Jakob Ah Chee to the side and could finish the round as high as fourth with a win. 
 
The Colts, having beaten South Fremantle in their last start, play a win-less Perth Demons outfit and will be looking to complete back-to-back victories similarly to the Reserves.  
 
The side has won three of their previous five games and will fancy their chances again the Demons, with a win leaving the side a game off top spot having played once less.
