East Perth vs Claremont Match Preview

Tale of the Tape – A disappointing two point loss to last place West Coast all but put an end to the Royals finals aspirations for 2021. Still a ‘mathematical chance’ for 5^th spot, a win against Claremont is a must along with some other results to fall the right way.

A good showing against the Tigers in the Round 8 encounter will give the side confidence going into this week.

Regardless, the East Perth players will be looking to show improved performance and consistency through the remainder of the season. Finally being able to have stability in the League 22 along with competition for spots from players in the Reserves, the Royals will be given their best chance to put their best foot forward

Claremont will be keen to keep their position in the Top 2 ahead of their top of the table clash against Subiaco next week
