The WAFL Eagles have confirmed their team for Saturday’s round seven clash with East Fremantle at The Good Grocer Park, with Josh Burke set to bring up a significant milestone in the blue and gold.

Burke will line up for his 50th WAFL game for the club, continuing a strong and consistent run since joining the Eagles in 2022.

A reliable swingman throughout his time, Burke has showcased his versatility across both ends of the ground, kicking 46 goals from his 49 appearances, before settling primarily into defence this season.

The milestone man is joined by two exciting WAFL debuts, with Brandon Starcevich and Cooper Duff-Tytler both set to play their first game for the WAFL Eagles.

After arriving at the Eagles from Brisbane in the 2025 trade period, Starcevich will make his long-awaited debut on managed minutes as he works his way back to full match fitness from a calf injury, adding class and experience to the backline mix.

Duff-Tytler will add aerial presence up forward, the 18-year-old playing his first WAFL game after playing the first nine rounds of the AFL season, and being managed from the senior side last weekend.

There are eight changes from the round six side, highlighted by the inclusions of Fin Macrae, Clay Hall and Matt Owies, who add depth and energy across the midfield and forward half.

Macrae returns from a two-match suspension and is set to play an important role through the middle alongside Elijah Hewett and Tom Gross, forming a balanced on-ball group, with experienced ruck Matt Flynn continuing to lead the way in the stoppages.

The defensive unit features a versatile mix, with Burke, Sandy Brock and James Ewing.

Sam Cipriani, Andries Mercer and Darby McCarthy are among the additional inclusions, while Bo Allan, Rhett Bazzo, Jack Williams and Harry Schoenberg have been elevated to AFL level.
