IT is tough to think of a better or more consistent WAFL player over the last decade than West Perth's triple fairest and best winner Shane Nelson and while he is proud to earn life membership at the Falcons, the drive to win a second premiership trumps everything. He has never been the biggest, strongest, fastest or most skilful out on any WAFL field he has graced, but Nelson could very claim to be the best as West Perth prepares to celebrate his 150th appearance with the Falcons this Saturday in a must-win derby against East Perth at HBF Arena. Ever since he made his league debut back in Round 7. 2012, Nelson has never looked back and it was a career that came on the back of always dreaming of playing for West Perth, coming through the development squad and colts ranks, and then banging down the door for a crack at league level.
