Cook earns life membership, premiership his remaining goal

Friday, July 6, 2018 - 8:26 PM - by Chris Pike
AS he was racking up individual achievements as South Fremantle captain, all Ryan Cook wanted was a premiership with the Bulldogs and that's still the case ahead of his 150th game that will see him earn life membership. Cook arrived at South Fremantle in 2011 after being delisted from Collingwood and he had such an immediate impact that he played State football and won the WJ Hughes Medal in his first season at the Bulldogs where they reached the finals. The esteem he was immediately held in saw him named captain at South Fremantle in 2012 and he went on to lead the Bulldogs in 117 matches to be the longest-serving skipper in the rich history of the Bulldogs.

WHILE SUBIACO and South Fremantle continued winning to remain locked into the top two spots in the WAFL and East Fremantle again lost to remain last, things really tightened up in between following Round 13 of the 2018 WAFL season.

M & J Chickens Player of Round 13

Wednesday, July 4, 2018 - 12:59 PM - by Chris Pike
FOR virtually every week of the 2018 WAFL season so far Lachlan Delahunty could have rightfully been named the M & J Chickens Player of the Round and Round 13 is the time for the versatile Subiaco big man to receive the recognition. Subiaco took on West Perth as part of the International Football Festival at Joondalup Arena on Saturday and once again the Falcons were able to push the Lions, but with Delahunty one of a host of players standing up, they continued their unbeaten start to the 2018 season. Subiaco did come into the game missing three of its four leading goal scorers for the season – Brad Stevenson, Rhys Waters and Kyle Halligan, so the Lions did need others to stand up to kick a winning score and that certainly didn’t prove a problem.
