Players to watch: WAFL Round 4

We take a look at the players to watch ahead of a massive Round 4 of Sullivan Logistics WAFL action.

Jack Kluske (Perth)

The Perth recruit stood tall up forward in his team’s stunning one-point win over Peel in Mandurah last week, booting a game-high four majors.

Hamish Brayshaw (East Perth)

Brayshaw is back for his first game of the season in a much-needed boost for East Perth against Perth in the blockbuster Anzac Day clash at Mineral Resources Park.

The Sandover Medal will add plenty of grunt to a midfield missing gun recruit Cooper Stephens who’s out with a quad injury.

Sam Alvarez (Claremont)

Alvarez continues to improve for the Tigers with more midfield opportunities and had a strong outing against reigning premiers South Fremantle in a hard-fought win.

Oskar Smartt (East Fremantle)

Fast becoming the most watchable player in the competition.

His four-goal second half last week against East Perth was special and things seems to happen when he’s around the footy.

Jack Petruccelle (Subiaco)

The former West Coast speedster had his best game for his new club last week, fittingly against his old club, booting four goals.

He will cause plenty of headaches for opposition defenders throughout the season.

Bailey Banfield (Peel Thunder)

The experienced Docker is an important inclusion for the Thunder who could lose Jeremy Sharp to AFL duties.

The versatile player always seems to dominant when he’s back in the WAFL.

Matt Flynn (West Coast)

Flynn couldn’t have done much more to lead West Coast to their second conseuctive win against Subiaco on Sunday.

He racked up a whopping 50 hit-outs, found plenty of it around the ground with 23 disposals and even drifted forward for a goal.

Opposition WAFL rucks will be having sleepless nights ahead of facing him.

Jarvis Pina (Swan Districts)

What a performance from the former Dockers rookie to help Swan Districts get off the mark.

The smooth-moving midfielder had his injury troubles last year but it’s great to see him back to his best.

Connor West (West Perth)

West is the leading disposal winner in the competition at the moment, averaging more than 30 per game.

After a stint in the Perth Football League, it’s great to see the former West Coast talent back in the WAFL and contributing.

Isiah Winder (South Fremantle)

Another former Eagle, Winder is an important contributor to South Fremantle’s midfield who can also hit the scoreboard.

Expect him to be at the forefront in the Bulldogs are to bounce back from a shock loss last round.

With Matthew Parker set to miss another game with a hamstring injury, it puts more of a spotlight on Winder.
