It’s shaping up to be a blockbuster this Saturday as East Fremantle head to Mineral Resources Park for a highly anticipated clash with fellow top-four contenders, Perth Football Club.

Both sides come into the Round 13 fixture locked at 7 wins and 4 losses for the season, making this more than just a regular home-and-away match — it’s a genuine finals-shaping showdown.

Form Lines & Season Context

The Sharks have been one of the highest-scoring teams in the competition, racking up an impressive 910 points across 11 games, compared to Perth’s 802. Our percentage of 116.37 highlights the team’s ability not just to win, but to do so convincingly. With the likes of Milan Murdock and Cam Eardley leading the way, the Sharks’ brand of attacking, pressure footy has been thrilling to watch all season long.

A Rivalry Stacked in Our Favour

While Perth will no doubt be motivated on their home deck, history is firmly on our side. The Sharks have won five straight matches against the Demons, including a dominant 50-point victory earlier this season at The Good Grocer Park. In fact, East Fremantle boast a commanding 253 wins from 367 encounters against Perth — a win rate of nearly 70%.

The Stage Is Set

With both clubs fighting to cement their spot in the top five, expect finals-like intensity from the opening bounce. The Sharks will need to be at their best to overcome a Perth side hungry to break their losing streak against us, but the form guide — and the history books — give us every reason to believe in another strong performance.

Let’s bring the pressure. Let’s bring the heat. Let’s bring the four points back to Shark Park.
