WA Day McDonald's WAFL ResultsTuesday, June 2, 2015 - 12:10 AM - by Chris Pike

EAST Perth made up for being overrun three weeks ago with a big win over West Perth on WA Day while South Fremantle kicked the last four goals of the Foundation Derby to score a stunning five-point victory against East Fremantle.

Following the Round 10 action beginning on Saturday with Claremont thrashing Peel Thunder 17.16 (118) to 6.10 (46) at the Claremont Showground and Swan Districts beating Perth 13.7 (85) to 11.12 (78) at Steel Blue Oval, all attention turned to the two traditional WA Day derbies.

And it saw East Perth able to hold on to a big lead unlike three weeks ago to beat West Perth at Medibank Stadium 18.11 (119) to 10.11 (71).

Then South Fremantle fought back from a 33-point quarter-time deficit and the absence of Ben Saunders, Blayne Wilson, Haiden Schloithe, Jacob Martinez and then Tim Kelly to kick the last four goals to beat East Fremantle 15.13 (103) to 14.14 (98) at ATOM Stadium.

Not only did the WA Day matches see East Perth's Freddie Clutterbuck and East Fremantle's Jamie McNamara register their 100th WAFL appearances, it also ended with Shark Bradd Dalziell announcing his retirement bringing to an end a 76-game WAFL career.

The Perth WA Day derby saw East Perth get off to a flying start with the first three goals but West Perth did answer back with four of the next five to lead by three points at quarter-time.

However, the Royals went up a gear in the second quarter kicking seven goals to three, and then rammed home their advantage in the last term with five goals to one to end up winning by 48 points to end their losing run at three.

Clutterbuck celebrated his 100th game for East Perth in style as well finishing the afternoon at Medibank Stadium with 24 possessions and two goals.

West Coast big man Scott Lycett was the best key forward on the ground with four goals from 10 possessions and six marks while ruckman Paul Johnson backed up leading WA to a State game win last week with a strong performance in the ruck in the derby.

Johnson ended up with 58 hit outs for the game to go with 14 touches, four marks and a goal while the Royals midfield worked their way on top with Patrick McGinnity gathering 26 possessions to go with six tackles.

Steven Payne also compiled 26 disposals on the wing for the Royals while co-captain Brendan Lee had 23 touches and a goal, Kane Lucas 21 disposals, six inside 50s and five tackles.

East Perth's back-line held up well with the returning Mitch Fraser ending up with 20 possessions, Nathan Blee 19, Mitch Howlett 17 and Tom Barrass might not have had a lot of it, but was a strong contributor again.

Malcolm Karpany, Clayton Giblett and Craig Wulff all kicked two goals apiece for the Royals with Wulff also finishing with 20 possessions, six marks and four inside-50 entries.

West Perth couldn’t find a multiple goalkicker on the afternoon with all 10 of its majors coming courtesy of individual scorers despite Michael Lourey, Marcus Adams and Luke Meadows all having chances at kicking more than one.

Shane Nelson sent a message that he was unlucky to not play in last Saturday's WA State game win over South Australia again being West Perth's best player working tirelessly in the midfield with 36 possessions, five inside 50s and a goal.

Sandover Medallist Aaron Black did play in the State game last week and backed up with a strong showing in the WA Day Derby with 33 disposals and 11 marks.

Matt Guadagnin lifted and played perhaps his best game of the season with the 187-game premiership midfielder collecting 23 disposals, laying eight tackles, driving the ball inside-50 on five occasions and kicking a goal to put the Falcons back in front in the second quarter.

Rohan Kerr worked into the game for West Perth and finished with 22 disposals and a goal while Aidan Lynch picked up 19 touches, Adams 18 in his return game, Steven Browne 18 and Kody Manning 18 to go with five inside 50s and four tackles.

And in the Foundation Derby at ATOM Stadium, East Fremantle got off to a flying start with two goals in the first two minutes and then South Fremantle went down a man when midfielder Kelly was knocked unconscious.

That was on top of the Bulldogs coming into the game without Wilson and Saunders while key midfielders Schloithe and Martinez returned in the reserves, but they continued to fight hard despite the Sharks still leading by 22 points at the nine-minute mark of the last term when Cameron Eardley goaled.

However, South Fremantle finished full of running and Cory Dell'Olio kicked his fourth goal, Marlion Pickett his first, captain Ryan Cook his third and then Paul Mugambwa his first to see the Bulldogs snatch the lead.

They then held on for the five-point win with Mitch Boyle missing the best chance late for East Fremantle when he hit the post on the run. 

Cook led from the front for South Fremantle and was named best afield after finishing with 23 possessions, 10 marks and three goals.

Dell'Olio wasn’t far behind with 19 disposals and four goals while Ashton Hams was terrific also with 29 touches, six tackles, five marks and four inside 50s.

Josh Pullman and Simon Panizza kicked two goals each for South Fremantle as well with Panizza's intensity proving important for the Bulldogs and he racked up 18 touches as well.

Adam Carter picked up 23 possessions and 12 marks for South Fremantle with Kyle Hams finishing with 20 disposals, Steven Verrier 20, Shaun Bewick 19, Pickett 19 and Jarrod Parry 18.

Adam Guglielmana finished with 21 possessions and seven marks while having a fascinating battle with George Hampson.

Ruckman Josh Branchi made his league debut in the heat of a derby and stood up well allowing Brock Higgins to spend time as a target in attack. Branchi showed encouraging signs in his 13 possessions and 12 hit outs.

East Fremantle had some outstanding contributors all afternoon and none were better than McNamara in his 100th WAFL appearance.

He finished with 33 possessions while Liam Anthony was terrific shaking off the tag of Panizza to kick two first quarter goals and end up racking up 30 disposals for the game and laying eight tackles.

In what looks like turning out to be the last of his 76-game WAFL career, Bradd Dalziell was terrific as well for East Fremantle with four goals playing largely as a forward.

Fellow small forward Hampson proved a handful with 18 possessions, eight marks and three goals but he also missed some shots that he would usually have expected to nail.

Captain Rory O'Brien worked hard for 27 disposals for the Sharks, Brock O'Brien had 24, Eardley 22 and Mark McGough 21.

Matthew Jupp did a good job on defence keeping James Sellar scoreless while also battling Higgins at different times while Danny Chartres had a good battle with Mugambwa.

The WA Day action began with the colts matches and at Medibank Stadium with East Perth beating West Perth 11.7 (73) to 8.11 (59).

Nathan Eaton and Blair Della Franca kicked two goals each for East Perth's colts with Stan Wright amassing 30 possessions, Mitch Dobson 30 and Connor De Campo 22.

Mitch Antonio kicked two goals to go with 19 possessions and seven marks for West Perth with Scott Nelson gathering 20 disposals, Riley Dolman 19, Mitch Walley 19, Tom O'Brien 19, Zac Guadagnin 18, Conal Lynch 18, Troy Manners 17 and Ewan Larmett.

Ruckman Ethan Hills worked hard for 17 touches and 19 hit outs also for the Falcons.

East Fremantle's colts started its day at ATOM Stadium impressively beating South Fremantle 13.6 (84) to 4.8 (32) with Luke Strnadica terrific for the Sharks kicking five goals.

Cameron Zurhaar and Stefan Little added two apiece for East Fremantle with Nick Menegola compiling 25 possessions, Fraser Perry 24, Zac Fowler 22, Leon Pearton 21, Tom Marshall 20, Kyle Baskerville 19, Jesse Adamini 19 and Nathan Trusso 18.

Alex Robinson kicked two of South Fremantle's four goals with Miles Barritt racking up 26 possessions, Jamie Foster 22, Kade Stewart 20, Joel McComb 18 and Brandon Colbung 16.

And in the reserves, West Perth won a thriller over East Perth ending up recording the 14.10 (94) to 13.9 (87) victory at Medibank Stadium.

Callum Papertalk kicked three goals for the Falcons with Brayden Antonio, Hayden Yarran, and former Royal Brent Fotheringham all kicking two apiece.

Trent Manzone amassed 25 possessions for West Perth with Antonio finishing with 23 disposals, Ray Bartholomew 17, Corey Chalmers 17 and Fotheringham 16. Tim Sutherland worked hard in the ruck 10 touches and 30 hit outs.

South Fremantle's reserves had a thumping 17.8 (110) to 7.7 (49) win over East Fremantle at ATOM Stadium with Jacob Martinez and Haiden Schloithe both returning from injury for the Bulldogs.
