WAFL Action: East Perth Football Club Makes Strides Towards the Premiership
WAFL Showdown: Royals Rise to the Top
This time last season, East Perth’s chances of cementing a finals double chance fell short in a final-round loss to West Perth. Fast forward a year, and the Royals have signed, sealed, and delivered a top-two position in the WAFL, positioning themselves for the minor premiership for the first time since 2014.
Key Performance Highlights
Against the rampaging East Fremantle, who had won seven of their previous eight matches, the Royals displayed grit in challenging conditions. East Perth coach Ross McQueen made a bold move by sending Harrison Macreadie forward, resulting in a decisive 65-metre goal that secured victory. McQueen praised the team’s resilience, especially in the tense final quarter where East Fremantle threatened a comeback.
Looking Ahead: The Final Showdown
The Royals are gearing up for a significant clash against Peel Thunder, with memories of their last encounter serving as motivation. Coach McQueen acknowledges the challenge posed by Fremantle-listed players, while also highlighting standout performances from Liam Tedesco and Riley Saunders.
As injuries have affected their lineup, optimism remains high for returns in the coming weeks. The passionate journey of the East Perth Football Club continues, with their eyes firmly set on the WAFL premiership.
