WAFL action resumed on Saturday following the State Game triumph and it saw the top three teams Subiaco, South Fremantle and West Perth record wins by a combined 248 points while Perth won a heartstopper over Claremont by a point. The competition took a break last weekend as the KIA WAFL State Team went to Adelaide to defeat South Australia by 26 points as the West Australian representative side made it six consecutive victories. The WAFL competition resumed for Round 7 action on Saturday afternoon with all four games taking place as Swan Districts had an extra week off with the bye. Read More ...

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.

WEST Perth is back home to Joondalup Arena for the first time in more than a month when it hosts the struggling East Fremantle in Round 7 on Saturday. The WAFL resumes this weekend following the break for the State game and West Perth and East Fremantle couldn’t have been in more differing form prior to the general bye. West Perth might have lost its last game to Subiaco, but the 22-point defeat marked by far the best performance any side has been able to produce against the Lions this season and the Falcons even managed to lead for the majority of the opening half. Read More ...

EAST Perth and South Fremantle both put respective four-game winning streaks on the line when they do battle at Leederville Oval in Round 7 of the 2018 WAFL season. It shapes as a tantalising match up between two teams who were in terrific form prior to last week's break for the State game when the Royals and Bulldogs meet at Leederville Oval on Saturday. East Perth and South Fremantle both started their respective seasons with losses to Subiaco but since then neither has suffered defeats and have won four games in succession. Read More ...

THE first Grand Final rematch for 2018 takes place this Saturday when the dual reigning premiers Peel Thunder host the undefeated Subiaco at Bendigo Bank Stadium. Peel and Subiaco have met in the past two WAFL Grand Finals and now this Saturday in Round 7 as the competition resumes from the State game break they will play for the first time in 2018 in Mandurah. The Thunder beat the Lions in each of those last two Grand Finals giving Subiaco some added motivation to earn a measure of revenge and to keep their unbeaten run to start the 2018 season going.

THE WAFL returns to action this Saturday for Round 7 of the 2018 season with the competition on a high from the KIA State Team's victory last week and there are four tantalising match ups to look forward to. The season took a break last weekend for the KIA WAFL State Team to take on the SANFL at Adelaide Oval in the 2018 State Game. The end result was a 26-point victory for the West Australian team that made it a first win in Adelaide against South Australia in 24 years while making it six consecutive State match wins in the process.

The Good for Footy Raffle is back bigger than ever in 2018, and this year we're aiming for another record-breaking season. Last year, nationally 418 grassroots clubs raised a huge $682k, that they used to upgrade facilities, buy new equipment and subsidise playing fees, to make the game of footy a little more accessible for all. This year we are hoping to raise over $720,000 and getting more than 436 clubs involved. To achieve this, we’re looking to recruit new clubs and ensure that clubs that have participated previously are part of the action again this year. Read More ...

SCINTILLATING second and fourth quarters have led the KIA WAFL State Team to an inspired and drought-breaking 26-point victory over South Australia in the 2018 State Game on Saturday at Adelaide Oval.   Western Australia went into the contest on Saturday at Adelaide Oval having won the past five State matches but winning in Adelaide against the Croweaters hadn’t happened since a State of Origin victory for the Sandgropers in 1994.   WA then started slowly on Saturday going goalless in the opening quarter. But that soon changed with a scorching eight-goal performance in the second term to head into half-time with a four-goal advantage. Read More ...

HE has played AFL football, is a WAFL premiership captain and is one of the most decorated players in the modern era but nothing trumps leading your State into battle for Kyal Horsley and he hopes to be part of more history on Saturday in Adelaide. Horsley's resume is just remarkable with the Subiaco captain a three-time WAFL premiership player, dual flag winning skipper, two-time fairest and best winner, a 14-game AFL player at the Gold Coast Suns and a life member at the Lions with 166 games in the WAFL under his belt. Remarkably, Horsley is now in his 10th season in the WAFL and he has played in seven Grand Finals for the three premierships.  Read More ...

PRIDE in representing West Australian football was a driving force behind coach Michael Broadbridge leading the KIA WAFL State Team to a historic win in Melbourne last year and it's no different ahead of tackling South Australia in Adelaide on Saturday. Broadbridge, who had coached Claremont in the WAFL the previous three seasons, took over as coach of the WAFL State Team last year and led the Black Swans to a first ever victory against Victoria in Melbourne in 24 attempts. That was a fifth straight State Game victory as well for WA following wins against the VFL in 2013, NEAFL in 2014, SANFL in 2015 and Tasmania in 2016. Read More ...
