Jack Petruccelle’s excellent body of work this summer rolled into West Coast’s intra-club scratch match this morning, with the second-year player staking a real claim for round one selection.

The 19-year-old lit up Lathlain Park in the third quarter of the scratch match, moving well, creating space and kicking three goals in an eye-catching display.

He added another major in the final quarter and put himself right in the conversation to replace the retired Mark LeCras this season.

Young key position player Jarrod Brander was the stand-out player early with three goals, but left the field before half-time with an injury, understood to be a bruised hip pointer.

Petruccelle has already been the subject of public praise from coach Adam Simpson after a pre-season which has seen him work on building an endurance base to compliment his top-end pace.

His efforts today came after the Eagles split their squad into probables and possibles for the second half of the match.

With a host of stars missing from the fixture, Oscar Allen and Jack Darling lined up as the primary forwards in the A-team, joined by Petruccelle and Jake Waterman.

Nathan Vardy and ruck recruit Tom Hickey worked in tandem for the second half after being opposed to each other at the start of the match, with Hickey particularly impressive.

Rookie defender Francis Watson was also retained in the probables side after being one of the most impressive players on the field in the opening half.
