East Perth will have 16 West Coast-listed players to choose from for its crucial clash with East Fremantle on Sunday.
Luke Partington returns to the Royals’ line-up following a two-week stint on the sidelines with a hamstring strain, albeit on limited minutes.
The in-and-under midfielder could not have timed his comeback better given that ball-winning machine Mark Hutchings is unavailable due to AFL selection.
Oscar Allen will continue his build to full game time, but East Perth will be without big man Nathan Vardy, who re-injured his adductor during the club’s inspiring 66-point win over Peel.
Brendon Ah Chee, Brayden Ainsworth, Fraser McInnes and Will Schofield have all been listed as emergencies for the Eagles but could be available for East Perth if they do not play against the Power on Saturday afternoon.
