Optus WAFL Round 20 Wrap

Monday, August 26, 2019 - 4:30 AM - by Chris Pike
THE last game of the WAFL season took place on Sunday afternoon and it was only fitting that it decided the finals positions with West Coast Eagles winning to advance break the hearts of Perth in the process. Perth had started the season in blistering form winning its opening five matches and as a result the Demons have occupied a position in the top five all season long, and were still in fifth position even after losing to Peel Thunder on Sunday night. But that was with the West Coast Eagles still having to play East Fremantle on Sunday afternoon at Lathlain's Mineral Resources Park. Read More ...

WAFL Milestone | Kyal Horsley 200 Games

Friday, August 23, 2019 - 1:35 PM - by Chris Pike
HE is the most decorated and inspirational player of his generation but the motivation is as strong as ever for Kyal Horsley ahead of his 200th WAFL game and with the freedom that has come from not being captain, he hits the milestone in as good a form as he's ever been in with Subiaco. It's remarkable to look back now to 2007 when Horsley lost his place in the Subiaco team from the preliminary final win over South Fremantle to Grand Final against Claremont in an era at the Lions of remarkably decorated players from Aidan Parker to Darren Rumble to Allistair Pickett to Brad Smith to Luke Newick to Chad Cossom and the list goes on and on. It would have been a stretch to think Horsley, the boy from Kalgoorlie, would go on to become the most decorated player of this era of dominance from Subiaco, but that's exactly what has happened and there's no signs of slowing down as he now approaches his 200th game.

Gooch excited for WAFLW finals and by young talent

Friday, August 23, 2019 - 6:58 AM - by Chris Pike
EAST Fremantle's WAFLW and Fremantle AFLW star Evie Gooch is looking forward to the upcoming finals campaign with the Sharks in a highly competitive competition but she is just as excited by the young stars coming through in Western Australia. Gooch has been a key part of East Fremantle's WAFLW line-up in this inaugural season of the five-team competition and now with one round to go, the Sharks can finish in second position on the ladder provided they beat Claremont at Claremont Oval this Saturday morning. While that's far from a guarantee with Claremont also sitting on a 6-5 record this season like East Fremantle and the Tigers have a chance to climb to third spot themselves, Gooch is looking forward to what lies ahead both on Saturday and in the finals.
