This week's West Aussie Great is an inaugural West Coast Eagle who has brought football to his hometown this weekend, all in the name of charity.

Andrew Lockyer has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure the first WAFL match in his home town.

The Mid West town 52km north of Geraldton was devastated by cyclone Seroja a year ago, so Lockyer devised the idea of a festival of footy to raise funds for the community, with the inaugural WAFL fixture between East Fremantle and East Perth the highlight.

The weekend festival will feature former and current AFL players, including Eagles Josh Kennedy, Jamie Cripps and Michael Brennan, and Paul Hasleby, Michael Mitchell and Bryan Cousins.
