He did not make his senior debut for the club until much later, instead continuing to play in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), initially for the Perth Football Club and then with West Coast"s new affiliate team, East Perth. In the WAFL, he played in a variety of positions, with stints as a key forward, key backman, and ruckman. McInnes did not make his senior debut for West Coast until round four of the 2015 season, when he recorded 15 possessions, eight marks, and a goal against Brisbane.
His most notable American Federation of Labor-Congress game to date came against Gold Coast in round seven of the 2015 season, when he recorded 22 disposals, seven marks, and a single goal.
He has kicked multiple goals in a game only once – two goals in a loss to North Melbourne, after which he was dropped to make way for Jack Darling"s return from injury.
