Round 14 WAFL teams: Sandover Medal fancies return

Sandover Medal fancies Jeremy Sharp and Bailey Rogers are back from their respective sides for a massive Saturday of Round 14 Sullivan Logistics WAFL action.

Sharp returns from illness for Peel Thunder’s away clash against East Fremantle at The Good Grocer Park after missing last week’s after-the-siren victory over Claremont in Mandurah with illness.

Fellow AFL-listed players Tobyn Murray (calf) and Chris Scerri (AFL duties) are also back, as is skipper Scott Tuia (illness) as the Thunder hunt a record-extending ninth win in a row.

Big man Mason Cox and utility Corey Wagner are out of the side against a Sharks outfit missing gun midfielder Tom Joyce and winger Luke Carrello.

East Fremantle will blood 20-year-old Ezra Jones, while recruit Toby Alker has earned a recall.

Previous Sandover Medal winner Rogers in for the Tigers against reigning champs South Fremantle at Revo Fitness Stadium.

Rogers is back from a calf injury alongside tall forward Rory Luscombe who’s been rewarded for his strong form in the reserves.

Luscombe, who’s kicked a competition-high 32 goals in 11 goals in the twos this year, comes in for his first senior game since last season’s preliminary final.

The Bulldogs have made three changes with speedster Jamaine Jones the biggest out, last week’s debutant Max Thomas suspended and ruckman West Love also out.

Cooper Clarke-Dehring, Toby Dodds and Ashton Ferreira are the three ins.

Last year’s grand finalists East Perth have gone in unchanged for a second game in a row as they travel to Steel Blue Oval fresh off a 51-point win over Perth.

Swan Districts get a couple of key inclusions with midfielder and former West Coast rookie Zane Trew and State forward Jiah Reidy named for their returns at the expense of Otis Harvey and Luke Cotellessa.

Teams for Sunday’s clash between Mineral Resources Park co-tenants Boorloo and West Coast will be named on Friday afternoon.
