The Eagles and Dockers WAFL-affiliated clubs, East Perth and Peel Thunder respectively, will clash in Mandurah on Saturday.
And while East Perth will have only seven players remaining from the 22 that lost last year's Grand Final to West Perth by 49 points, it has added 10 AFL-listed players for this game (including rookies).
Among them are regular senior players Will Schofield, Sam Butler and Ash Smith.
But the Dockers have gone one better - well four better, naming 14 of its listed players for the clash.
Among them are Colin Sylvia, Alex Silvagni, Clancee Pearce, Hayden Crozier, Garrick Ibbotson, Zac Clarke - and Anthony Morabito.
Young Morabito will make his long-awaited return to footy since injuring his knee (for the first of three times) in 2010.
West Perth will start its premiership defence with a strong line-up, naming 18 players to tackle East Fremantle who played in the victorious 2013 side.
