SUBIACO flexed its muscles while West Perth shook off the challenge of Perth and Claremont kept its finals hopes alive across the three WAFL matches in Round 12 of the 2018 season on Saturday. There were just the three WAFL matches on Saturday in Round 12 and the action began at Leederville Oval with Claremont scoring an important win, handing East Perth a fifth straight defeat winning 14.11 (95) to 9.9 (63). West Perth then further consolidated third position and stayed in touch with second spot by claiming a 15th consecutive win against Perth, prevailing 15.6 (96) to 11.9 (75) at Joondalup Arena.

WEST Perth might be on a 14-game winning run against Perth, but the Demons have likely never entered any of those matches with more confidence setting the stage for a cracking contest Saturday at Joondalup Arena. The Falcons have dominated the Demons for some time now not only having won the last 14 meetings, but 18 of the last 19. Going back further ever since Perth won four straight against West Perth in 1991 and 1992, the Falcons have won 50 of the 62 meetings between the two teams. Perth has won just 11 of those 62 games with a 2008 draw at Lathlain Park thrown in. Read More ...

SWAN Districts is the latest team to have the challenge of trying to topple Subiaco this Saturday at Steel Blue Oval and the black-and-whites are no strangers to upsetting the Lions. Swans might have only beaten the Lions in eight of their previous 25 meetings, but two of those have been stunning one-point upsets back in Round 13, 2008, and then Round 20, 2015. The black-and-whites will be looking to channel that spirit on Saturday back on home turf to attempt to end Subiaco's nine-game winning run this season and the Lions run of winning six in-a-row against Swans.

EAST Perth and Claremont both enter Saturday's Round 12 WAFL encounter at Leederville Oval desperate for a win. While the Royals still cling to fifth position on the ladder, they can't afford to keep losing and remain in the top five while another loss for the Tigers, and they are getting close to kissing goodbye to remaining any hope of reaching the finals in 2018. East Perth comes into Saturday's encounter at Leederville Oval sitting in fifth position with a 4-5 record to be a game and percentage behind the fourth placed Swan Districts, and only percentage ahead of both Perth and Peel Thunder.

IMPROVED confidence, health and belief are all factors in Perth now playing its best football in Earl Spalding's time as coach and he sees no reason now why they can't further close in on a top five position by ending a horror run against West Perth. Perth hasn’t won a premiership in the WAFL since 1977 nor taken part in a final series since 1997, and really they haven’t seriously threatened to accomplish either for a long time, including since Spalding took over as coach in 2015 from Damien McMahon. It has been tough going the previous three years and something Spalding certainly hadn’t been used to after his playing career both in the WAFL at Perth and East Fremantle, and VFL/AFL with Melbourne and Carlton.

THERE are just the three matches in Round 12 of the 2018 WAFL season but each of them has plenty on the line with Swan Districts trying to upset Subiaco, Perth attempting to end a long losing run to West Perth and East Perth and Claremont out to return to the winner's list.

A COUPLE of exciting Perth forwards combined for 12 goals, the reigning Sandover Medallist was on fire, a versatile Subiaco big man continued to dominate and a West Perth veteran made it 13 goals in his last two games as just some of the standout Round 11 WAFL performers. There were plenty of outstanding individual performers on Saturday in Round 11 of the 2018 WAFL season with wins along the way for the top three teams Subiaco, South Fremantle and West Perth, and a Perth side who put themselves right in the finals hunt. The thriller of the afternoon took place at Claremont Oval with West Perth beating Claremont 9.8 (62) to 8.13 (61) with Andrew Strijk booting another five goals for the Falcons. Read More ...

HIS WAFL debut might have come at the advanced age of 24, but Michael Bennell has already made up for lost time and on Saturday he delivered a stunning seven-goal performance for Perth to earn M & J Chickens Player of the Round honours. Bennell did play a handful of games for Swan Districts' reserves back in 2013, but he has spent recent years in Albany and playing in the WAFL did appear a faraway thought for most of that time. He did play some impressive football in the forward-line for the Albany Sharks, but still he was settled down south and as he approached his 24th birthday, a career in the WAFL was beginning to appear unlikely.

DESPITE Round 11 WAFL Colts victories for Peel Thunder, Subiaco and East Fremantle couldn’t topple Swan Districts from top spot while Claremont won a nail-biter over West Perth. The Round 11 WAFL Colts action saw Claremont claim a thriller beating West Perth 7.9 (51) to 7.7 (49) at Claremont Oval. The other three games weren’t quite as tight with Subiaco beating East Perth 11.21 (87) to 6.4 (40) at Leederville Oval, Peel Thunder defeating South Fremantle 11.10 (76) to 6.6 (42) at Fremantle Community Bank Oval and East Fremantle downing Perth 14.9 (93) to 10.5 (65) at Lathlain Park.

PERTH emphasised how much it has improved over the past 12 months in comparison to East Fremantle with the Demons getting closer to a first finals appearance since 1997 with a 64-point win at Lathlain Park on Saturday.   Perth and East Fremantle were the bottom two WAFL teams last year winning just three games apiece and while they both occupied the same spots at the foot of the ladder entering Saturday's clash at Lathlain Park, the gulf between both clubs was on show.   The Demons came into the game on the back of beating South Fremantle by a goal the previous Saturday and that was the same Bulldogs team that had thumped East Fremantle by 73 points five days earlier.
