WAFL Teams Strategize for Thrilling Minor Premiership Showdown
High Stakes in WAFL Minor Premiership Race
As the WAFL season nears its climax, East Perth faces crucial challenges in their pursuit of the minor premiership. With co-captain Hamish Brayshaw sidelined for a third consecutive week due to a foot injury, the Royals must secure a win against ladder-leaders Peel Thunder to maintain their playoff position. Brayshaw’s absence is significant, as he has only participated in 11 games this season, affecting the team’s dynamics. However, a win would allow East Perth to take a bye next week, providing Brayshaw with the extra time he needs to prepare for the finals.
