AFTER not cementing a league spot at South Fremantle, Ben Sokol has made the Bulldogs pay in five games since for Subiaco but the bigger picture heading into another battle is on the premiership at stake in two weeks' time. Sokol came through the ranks at South Fremantle an exciting talent at colts level, played State 18s and then looked set to make a successful league career for himself at the Bulldogs but it just never quite happened. The dangerous forward only managed 11 games across the 2014 and 2015 seasons with South Fremantle at league level despite kicking 39 goals as part of a reserves premiership winning team in 2015.

ANTON Hamp couldn’t quite play in a Claremont premiership as a young forward but he's now leader of the Tigers back-line, has claims to be the best WAFL key defender and hopes to help usher in a new era of success at the Tigers. Hamp was in the early stages of his career playing as a forward in Claremont's last era of WAFL dominance which saw the Tigers win four successive minor premierships between 2010 and 2013 which resulted in three Grand Final appearances and two premierships. He did manage to play 14 games for 17 goals across Claremont's premiership years of 2011 and 2012, but couldn’t manage a finals appearance at league level despite playing in two reserves flags.

WEST Perth's opening to the finals for 2018 couldn’t have started much worse but with a proud playing group at his disposal, coach Bill Monaghan is confident of a strong response this Sunday in the elimination final against Claremont. West Perth might have lost its past eight matches against South Fremantle heading into last Saturday's qualifying final at Fremantle Community Bank Oval, but after two losses by only a combined 13 points this season, the Falcons had good reason to go into the game confident. West Perth started reasonably well too and were only five points down when Tyler Keitel goaled at the 10-minute of the second quarter. Read More ...

While there's no doubt with the form Nick Suban is in he could still be playing in the AFL, Suban's focus right now is on helping bring back a premiership to the Bulldogs. Suban was surprisingly delisted by Fremantle at the end of 2017 to bring an end to his 156-game career with the Dockers that saw him be a mainstay of the AFL line-up the majority of his tenure including playing in the 2013 AFL Grand Final. The fact he was delisted was somewhat a surprise considering he did play the last 10 games of the season with the Dockers at AFL level in 2017 and was still performing at a good enough level to deserve another contract.

GIVEN Subiaco's dominance of the WAFL in recent times it was hard to imagine they could go up another level, but that has happened in 2018 with the minor premiership in all three grades and an undefeated league season and coach Jarrad Schofield couldn't be prouder. Having already won premierships this century in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2014 and 2015 on top of Grand Final appearances in 2003, 2009, 2011, 2016 and 2017, it was hard to imagine there was further improvement left at the Lions. However, spurred on by the pain of losing the past two Grand Finals to Peel Thunder despite being the standout team through the home and away seasons, Subiaco has put together a simply remarkable 2018 season. Read More ...
