All eyes on the clash: Eagles’ first pick shines in debut outing as AFL Preseason LIVE
February may be early, but WA’s fiercest football rivalry is already on display. Fremantle hosts West Coast in a match-simulation at Victor George Kalis Oval on Saturday.
Fremantle fields a strong lineup boosted by AFL Origin returnees Luke Jackson, Caleb Serong, and Shai Bolton. West Coast, by contrast, faces the game with several injuries that have left them notably short handed.
