Watch out for... Aaron Sandilands. You can’t miss his 211cm frame on the football field. It’s the champion ruckman’s 200th game, which he said has arrived in the “blink of an eye”. ‘Spider’ began life in the AFL as a rookie and is now one a three-time All Australian and a club champion. He’s up against one of the greatest ruckmen of all time on Sunday. The battle with West Coast’s Dean Cox will be as enthralling as ever.

200 in the blink of an eye

Watch out for... Freo’s ball use. Nat Fyfe and David Mundy were just two players to lament the side’s poor skill execution so far this season. The boys in purple know they’ll need to pick up the efficiency against the Eagles if they want to stay in touch with the top four.

We were sloppy: Mundy

Watch out for... Ryan Crowley. The master tagger was visibly disappointed with his performance after the North Melbourne game. Knowing the intense competitor he is, ‘Crowls’ will be fired up for his match-up against West Coast, which is likely to be Luke Shuey.

Watch out for... ‘Ballas’. On the subject of competitors, you’d be hard-pressed to find one more intense than Hayden Ballantyne. The pocket rocket will be keen to make it up to his teammates after sitting out the North Melbourne game through suspension.

Talking Points ahead of West Coast

Watch out for... Michael Barlow. Barlow returns from a knee injury on Sunday to play in a fixture he has performed brilliantly in. Three Ross Glendinning Medals from six Derby starts highlights how well Mick has fared against the Eagles.
