Practice Match preview: Sharks and Royal Name Strong Squads

The final preseason hit out for both East Fremantle and East Perth looks like a beauty with both teams fielding strong sides as they gear up for round 1 next week.

The Sharks welcome back skipper Jamie McNamara, along with George Hampson, James Bristow, Sean Henson, Mitch Boyle and Danny Chartres to their League side.  Coming off a skill riddled four goal loss to Claremont last weekend, the boys will be looking to fine tune and finish what has been a very strong preseason at ATOM Stadium.

The Royals will host 11 AFL listed players from the Eagles and will look to respond after they too went down last weekend, by a similar margin to South Fremantle.

Development League

The Development League boys will welcome some unlucky boys from last week’s League side back, including Tim Bristow, Louis Cronan, Josh Cuneo, Miles Franklin, Tyler Chalwell and Jayden Schofield, who will play in the Development League side this week, due to being unavailable for selection next week as he is serving his last week of a suspension from the 2015 season.  Like the League side the boys struggled with their skills and went down to the Tigers by a similar margin last week.

There will be no doubt a number of players keen to impress coaching staff and put up their hand for senior selction next week against the Swans.

Finally the Colts will be looking to back up a great performance last week, in defeating the Tigers by 4 goals last week.  With both sides fielding close to 40 players last week some very tough decisions had to be made at the selection table this week by Clay McLernon and his team as they look to field 27 players in preparation against last year’s Grand Final team in the Swans.
