Metro and Regional Junior Clubs often feel worlds apart, even when in the same WAFL development zone. In 2020, Peter Hicks, coach of the 7/8 Kalgoorlie City Juniors, wanted to give his team something to look forward to and had the idea of organising a trip to play a metro team. Jayd Holmes, Vice President of the Carine Junior Football Club, was who Peter called upon to make it happen. Peter and Jayd had both played their junior football in Kalgoorlie and were old opposition players from Colts through to Seniors.  They’d maintained the friendship formed playing regional footy over the years, even though Jayd was now living in Perth.

TO say the wait for the 2020 Optus WAFL Premiership Season was worth it might be one of the great understatements and the drama filled day on Saturday to determine the finals bound teams captured everyone's imagination. For a while thanks to COVID-19 there was a very real chance we might not have been able to have a WAFL season at all, but given what has ended up eventuating over the past nine weeks that would have been the biggest of shames. The only thing that we did know for sure coming into Round 9 to close the home and away season was that South Fremantle would finish on top as minor premiers and Peel Thunder would finish with the wooden spoon.  Read More ...

HE could retire right now and be viewed as an all-time great but West Perth captain Aaron Black feels potentially not even two-thirds into his remarkable WAFL career already as he gets ready for game 200 on Saturday.

The now Falcons skipper is about to play his 200th game on Saturday against Subiaco at Joondalup's Provident Financial Oval and he does so as a 2013 premiership player, 2014 Sandover Medallist, 2015 and 2018 Breckler Medal winner and a six-time state representative.
