WEST Perth's continued injury troubles with key position players has opened up opportunities for others and that has seen Sam Rotham and Drew Rohde already impress, and Tyler Keitel likely to receive his opportunity to make his league debut any time now.
West Perth lost back up ruckman Seva Martin to a knee reconstruction late last year and then the loss of talls to injuries has continued with Jordan Jones, Max Alexander and Shayne Zanetti still out indefinitely but Marcus Adams a chance to return soon if he gets some good news this week.
With those players absent, there has been increased opportunities for others in the West Perth team and that has seen usual half-forward Drew Rohde have to play above his height at times as a key defender this season, and to hold his own well.
