Nathan is one of two inclusions for the Sharks as they prepare to take on a finals-bound Perth \u2013 who are known as Boorloo for NAIDOC Week \u2013 at Mineral Resources Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old earns his first game after a strong performance in the reserves, where he laid a whopping 18 tackles to go with as many disposals against Peel Thunder.<\/p>\n
Nathan is joined by key forward Jack Cocking, who will play his first league game for the season after nine goals in four reserves matches, having battled injury for the first half of the year.<\/p>\n
Veteran Harry Marsh is out with a minor calf injury, while Elijah Stockden will miss with a groin complaint.<\/p>\n
The Demons will be without important midfielder Riley Wills because of a short-term ankle injury, with Noah Cachard returning as cover.<\/p>\n
Last-placed West Perth have welcomed back four vital players for their vital game against Subiaco at Sullivan Logistics Stadium.<\/p>\n
Midfielders Kane Bevan and Connor West, as well as forward-ruck Coen Livingstone and defender Sam Rotham have all been named, with former Eagles half-back Ben Johnson to miss with a quad injury.<\/p>\n

Jack Wooden, Matthew McKenzie and Jonah Brooks have all been dropped for the one-win Falcons.<\/p>\n
The Lions have regained important forward Ryan Borchet as well as young ruckman Frazer Rickson, with Campbell Henderson and Lucas Blair both omitted.<\/p>\n
Reigning premiers South Fremantle\u2019s pursuit of a third-consecutive win has been boosted by the inclusion of important midfielder Tom Blechynden as they host Swan Districts at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.<\/p>\n
Blechynden has missed the past two games because of illness, but comes into the side along with Max Thomas, who returns after serving a suspension.<\/p>\n
Defender-turned-forward Jordan Boullinueau will miss with suspension, while young forward Cooper Clarke-Dehring has been dropped.<\/p>\n
Swan Districts have swung the axe with Harley Cummings and former West Coast rookie Will Collins both dropped, while Jarvis Pina (suspension) and Max Chipper (hamstring) are forced to miss.<\/p>\n
Star Jackson McLachlan has been included alongside draft fancy Leo Steed as well as Otis Harvey and Tom Smith for the big game.<\/p>\n
