Royals set for first match

East Perth sat out the first week of the WAFL season with the bye, but will take part in the much-hyped Perth derby this Saturday against West Perth at Arena Joondalup.

Ex-Essendon and Geelong utility Joel Reynolds and short-lived South Fremantle big man David Dawes are among the new faces for the Royals this week, while Jeremy Humm returns after stints in the AFL and in Melbourne leagues.

The Falcons feel short against Claremont last week, but the inclusions of Dion Fleay, Dan Hunt and Fremantle’s Brent Connelly will no doubt strengthen their playing group.
