JUST one clash takes place today to close out Round 13 of the WAFL Women’s competition with finals hopefuls East Fremantle and West Perth going head-to-head on the Sharks’ home deck. We preview the big game with season ramifications for the winner and loser.
- Team
East Fremantle
West Perth
FORM
West Perth shrugged off a disappointing loss to South Fremantle and then big defeat at the hands of Swan Districts to put away Peel Thunder in Round 12 and keep hold of fourth spot. However the Bulldogs have now overtaken them on the live ladder and the Falcons must win to get back inside the top four. East Fremantle gained a vital win over East Perth last week to keep itself in contention, but are running out of time if the Sharks are to grab a finals spot.
TEAMS
CHANGES
Both teams have made minimal changes with the experienced Emily Bennett returning alongside Jamarah Walley for West Perth. They are the ins for Jessica Roper and Tazma Hutson who have been named as emergencies, while for East Fremantle, Olivia McCay makes her debut when she comes in for Tessa Lynch.
PREDICTION
It looms as a close game with both sides missing key players due to the AFLW Under 18 Championships as well as injuries, but the Falcons’ best has been slightly better this season. Expect a cracking contest with a fast start key.
