The WAFL Eagles father-son prospect Harper Banfield is set to make his League debut against West Perth in Joondalup on Saturday.<\/p>\n
A member of the club\u2019s Academy, Banfield follows in the footsteps of his father, dual premiership great and Hall of Fame member, Drew Banfield.<\/p>\n
Harper Banfield has earned his opportunity after an outstanding under-18s National Championships campaign for Western Australia, playing all four matches and averaging 23 disposals and six tackles.<\/p>\n
Banfield has been named on the interchange and will look to make an immediate impact in his first League appearance.<\/p>\n
The WAFL Eagles have made four changes for the clash with the Falcons, with Josh Lindsay, Cooper Duff-Tytler and Harry Barnett returning from injuries.<\/p>\n
Lindsay has been selected across half-back alongside Lucca Grego and Fred Rodriguez, while Duff-Tytler and Barnett will provide a significant aerial presence in attack.<\/p>\n
The inclusions come as Sam Cipriani is unavailable due to a shoulder injury, while Corey Hitchcock, Andries Mercer and Justin Prior have been omitted.<\/p>\n
The match starts at 4.30pm and will be broadcast live on 7Plus.<\/p>\n
