CLAREMONT and Perth have just the one win apiece over the opening six rounds of the 2018 WAFL season raising the stakes for their clash at Claremont Oval on Saturday. The Tigers and Demons were hoping to be big improvers in the WAFL in 2018 to try to return to being in finals contention, but for the loser of Saturday's game to fall to a 1-5 record will make it difficult for that to still be a chance of happening in an 18-game season. Both Claremont and Perth come into Saturday's clash at Claremont with 1-4 record and precious little separates them over the opening six rounds with Demons just ahead of the Tigers by just 2.49 per cent.
