West Perth star Tyler Keitel on his six majors, gearing up for WA Day Derby against fierce rivals East Perth

It’s no secret that West Perth superstar Tyler Keitel saves some of his best goal-kicking brilliance for games against the West Coast and Saturday night was no exception. Keitel added six more majors to his tally against the Eagles, bringing him to an impressive 54 goals in the last 12 games, proving once again why he’s one of the most dangerous forwards in the competition. His dominance in the forward-50 was the driving force behind West Perth’s emphatic 57-point win. “Their side changes week to week. So they’re pretty strong sometimes and other times they’ve got a lot of young kids playing. I just try to take advantage of that when I can,” Keitel said. “It’s just good to come away with a win.” Adding another win to their season, West Perth are now knocking on the door to get into the top five. They ended the round in sixth spot, just behind Claremont. West Perth will turn their focus to the WA Day Derby against rivals East Perth at Sullivan Logistics Stadium in Leederville. With the Royals no longer sitting on top of the ladder after their 20-point loss to East Fremantle on the weekend, and a spark of confidence for the West Perth side, the game is set to be a blockbuster. “It definitely gives us confidence, getting a win. But I think you always get up for derbies regardless. So it’s always a big game. We are really looking forward to it.” he said. “There’s nothing like playing on WA Day, I love it.”
