Get to know... Fraser McInnes

Nickname: Horse

What was It like Playing for West Coast:

Great memories being able to live out a boyhood dream for the club I supported growing up. Worked with a lot of good people during a successful period for the club.

What is the best part about Playing for Perth:

I love being able to come back and play for the club where I went through the junior pathways. Coming off after a win and the pig pen cheering you on is a great feeling

What Footballers Did you idolised growing up:  

Chris Judd from his WCE days, clearly modelled my game off him with the pace we both possess…

How does it feel to be playing your 150^th WAFL Game: 

I’m proud of my longevity in the game. To do it split across 3 clubs it probably doesn’t have the same feeling as achieving life membership at the one club – I’d love to get to 100 games for Perth.

What is the best moment from your 150 games: 

Breaking Perth’s finals drought in 2020 just pips winning finals with WCE WAFL and at East Perth.

Who has had the most influence on your career: 

Good question – probably Jaymie Graham, but I’ve been lucky to have had a lot of good support and mentors along the way.

If you could swap places with one person for a day who would it be: 

Anthony Edwards from the Minnesota Timberwolves

Do you have any pre game superstitions: 

Not really – I’m pretty relaxed. I like to walk my dog (Rudi the Rottweiler) the morning of a game and get a coffee.

Something interesting about yourself that we don’t know: 

I’ve never eaten Vegemite in my life and don’t intend to!

What is your best childhood memory:

Playing sport in the backyard and beating my brother, Harry, at whatever sport we played.
