Perez, 16, made a big impression with the Pioneers in his first three games at TAC Cup level and is one of three Sandhurst players that will play their first BFNL game.
Former Bridgewater coach Marc Lindsay and highly-rated recruit Jake Pallpratt will pull on the Dragon jumper for the first time.
Joel Wharton (hamstring), Zeb Broadbent (suspension) and Callum Prest (suspension) are among the notable absentees for the Dragons.
The Dogs have a host of teenagers in their round one side including Pioneers-listed players Daine Grace, Josh Grace, Liam Marciano and Kyle Stevens. Power forward Dylan Johnston was not named.
Eaglehawk will unveil recruits Jack Fallon and Dillon Williams for its eagerly-anticipated clash with Strathfieldsaye Storm at Canterbury Park.
The Storm didn’t name key forward Bryce Curnow, but coach Troy Coates and former Essendon rookie Bryce Carroll will play their first games for the club.
In other round one team news, Gisborne will be without playing coach Clinton Young for its home clash with Kangaroo Flat.
VFL-aligned players Kalan Huntly (Castlemaine), Jake O’Brien (Castlemaine), Ross Celano (Gisborne), Max O’Sullivan (Kyneton), Patrick McCarthy (Kyneton) and Kieran Strachan (South Bendigo) will play with their BFNL clubs on Saturday.
