Kepler Bradley will make his debut for Fremantle on Sunday against the Western Bulldogs in what will also be his 50th AFL match.

Kepler has been named on the bench along with the returning Heath Black, Byron Schammer and Andrew Foster.

Kepler joined Fremantle after being selected by the club in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft. The big man is capable of playing at either ends of the ground and in the ruck, and has tremendous agility and pace for a man of 199cm, which will come into play on Sunday to help arrest the Western Bulldogs’ running game.

Kepler’s call up comes following solid form for West Perth in the WAFL in recent weeks. Playing mostly across the half forward line, the 22 year old has averaged two goals, 19 possessions and nine marks over the past five weeks for the Falcons.

Sunday’s match will also see classy defender Roger Hayden return to the line up after missing the club’s Round 7 clash against Melbourne.

Tickets to Sunday’s game are still available and can be purchased by phoning Ticketmaster on 1300 135 195 or by visiting www.ticketmaster.com.au.
