REACHING 100 games for South Fremantle means the world to one of the WAFL's most versatile players, but what Steve Verrier wants more than anything is to try and replicate his colts success at league level with the Bulldogs.

Prior to being drafted to Richmond, Verrier was a colts premiership player at South Fremantle in 2011 and now after three years of reaching preliminary finals, that's all that is on his mind even when a significant individual milestone comes up.

Having grown up dreaming of playing with South Fremantle, reaching 100 games with the Bulldogs is a massive accomplishment for Verrier who despite dealing with injuries in recent years, has proven himself one of the most effective utility players in the competition.

The competitiveness so far in the opening nine rounds of the WAFLW season has backed in the decision to limit the inaugural campaign to the five teams to condense the talent, and it's creating for some high-quality football and plenty of unpredictable contests every weekend.
