We take a look at the ones to watch ahead of an exciting opening weekend of Sullivan Logistics WAFL finals.
Bailey Rogers (Claremont)
Average disposals: 22.9
One of three Sandover medallists at Claremont’s disposal for Saturday’s Qualifying Final clash against East Perth at Revo Fitness Stadium, Rogers has got better as the season as progressed after an injury-interrupted start.
He’s so strong at the stoppages and has the ability to hit the scoreboard.
Sebit Kuek (East Perth)
Total goals: 25 goals in 14 matches
If East Perth are to cause an upset against Claremont, expect this man to be in the thick of it.
The former Docker has the ability to win the game off his own boot and has some serious X-Factor up forward.
Kuek has booted 25 goals for the season and is coming off four goals against the Tigers last round.

Cam Eardley (East Fremantle)
Average disposals: 23.4
The Sharks’ milestone man has been such a reliable contributor for a long time.
Eardley, who plays his 200th game in East Fremantle’s home Elimination Final against Perth at The Good Grocer Park on Sunday, started as a midfielder but has since become a member of the back six.
He plays the loose man in defence to perfection, reading the play so well and rebounding with class by foot.
Brandan Parfitt (Perth)
Average disposals: 29.8
Parfitt has been the best-performing recruit for the Sullivan Logistics WAFL season.
He’s formed a dominant one-two midfield punch with former Geelong teammate Charlie Constable, with the pair combining for 76 disposals in last week’s win over Subiaco.
With plenty of AFL finals experience, including a premiership and another grand final, expect the prolific on-baller to lift another gear in the Demons’ long-awaited finals return this weekend.
