EAST Perth co-captain Brendan Lee missed the first six games of 2014 but has been superb the past fortnight in two just about best on ground performances to put him right in the mix to play in the WAFL team against the NEAFL next Saturday. Both before and after spending 2012 with Essendon in the AFL, Lee has likely cemented himself as the best midfielder in the WAFL. Having won the East Perth fairest and best in 2011, the Bendigo Bombers best and fairest in 2012 and then again the Royals' fairest and best last year, Lee has been consistent over a long period now but he suffered a hiccup on the eve of 2014 when he injured a finger and required surgery.

PERTH coach Damien McMahon feels he has the best squad at his disposal in his time in charge and now hopes the Demons can back up last week's win over Peel with a victory over the league-leading Subiaco this Saturday. Perth looked set to play finals for much of 2013 for the first time since 1997 until losing four of its last five matches to narrowly miss out. However, unlike in recent seasons the Demons were able to maintain most of their required players including AFL premiership players Paul Bevan and Chance Bateman as well as experienced campaigners Jarryd Morton, Matt Moody and Brennan Stack.
