THE FIRST Western Derby of the season is close to selling out, with only 500 tickets remaining for West Coast's pre-season clash against Fremantle in Geraldton. 

The Eagles and Dockers meet in the second week of the JLT Community Series on February 25 at Wonthella Oval in WA's mid-west.

West Coast is poised to unveil star recruit Sam Mitchell in the pre-season derby after the former Hawthorn captain recovered from an ankle complaint. 

The Dockers, who don't travel outside WA for their pre-season schedule, will be led by new captain Nat Fyfe.

For those unable to get tickets, the game will be televised live on Fox Footy and the AFL Live App. 

The JLT Community Series clash between North Melbourne and the Hawks at Arden Street later this month has already sold out.

AFL and club access members will have free general admission entry to JLT Community Series matches in which their club is competing (subject to availability, upgrade fees may be applicable). Click here to learn more.
