Round 6 Match Report – East Fremantle v East Perth

Monday, May 7, 2018 - 5:24 PM - by Chris Pike
EAST Perth continued its imposing form since its big loss to Subiaco to open the season cruising to a 33-point win against East Fremantle on Sunday that only wasn’t by significantly more due to their inaccuracy.   East Perth has now won four straight matches and done so in supremely impressive fashion since that 118-point loss to Subiaco on Good Friday to open the 2018 WAFL season.   The Royals had beaten West Perth, Perth and Peel Thunder since then to head to East Fremantle Oval on Sunday full of confidence against an East Fremantle team who had lost to South Fremantle and Swan Districts the previous two weeks by a combined 184 points.

Round 6 Match Report – Subiaco v West Perth

Monday, May 7, 2018 - 5:17 PM - by Chris Pike
FOR the first time in 2018 Subiaco was truly tested by West Perth at Leederville Oval on Saturday, but the Lions responded well to kick 11 of the game's last 16 goals to claim the 22-point victory.   Subiaco had taken all before it over its opening four games before a bye in Round 5 beating East Perth, South Fremantle, Swan Districts and Claremont by an average of 89.5 points.   That meant it was a daunting challenging for West Perth heading to Leederville Oval on Saturday taking on a Subiaco team who hadn’t played since beating Claremont by 86 points 16 days previous.

Round 6 Match Report – South Fremantle v Swan Districts

Monday, May 7, 2018 - 5:09 PM - by Chris Pike
IT was two in-form teams locking horns at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday and despite South Fremantle being down on some key players and Swan Districts never throwing in the towel, the Bulldogs impressed in a 13-point victory.   South Fremantle and Swan Districts both played finals in 2017 and aside from a loss to Subiaco apiece in the opening five rounds, had largely been quite impressive to start 2018 heading into Saturday's clash at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.   The Bulldogs also had to deal with the absence of key players Haiden Schloithe, Ashton Hams, Blayne Wilson and Steven Edwards with Tom Vandeleur, Jarrod Parry and Brendan Verrier already sidelined, but their depth came through against the black-and-whites.

Round 6 Match Report – Peel Thunder v Claremont

Monday, May 7, 2018 - 4:54 PM - by Chris Pike
PEEL Thunder and Claremont were both desperate to win on Saturday at Bendigo Bank Stadium and in the end it was Peel who controlled the second half to come away with the 20-point victory.   Both teams had won just the one game apiece in the opening five rounds of the 2018 WAFL season heightening the need to return to the winner's list when they did battle on Saturday in Mandurah.   Each side took advantage of the breeze in the opening half with Claremont taking a narrow two-point advantage into the long break.  Read More ...

Friday, May 4, 2018 - 8:45 PM - by Chris Pike

The Sharks and Royals do battle in the standalone WAFL contest on Sunday to close Round 6 of the 2018 season heading into the State game break.

Round 6 Preview – Subiaco v West Perth

Friday, May 4, 2018 - 8:31 PM - by Chris Pike
SUBIACO is refreshed after a dominant opening four weeks of the 2018 WAFL season with West Perth the next to try to take it up to the Lions at Leederville Oval on Saturday. Subiaco couldn’t have possibly been any more dominant in the opening four rounds of the season before the bye last week winning the four matches by an average of 89.5 points to remain the only undefeated team left in the competition. The Lions have now had the week off to freshen up to get ready for West Perth at Leederville Oval on Saturday. Read More ...


Round 6 Preview – South Fremantle v Swan Districts

Friday, May 4, 2018 - 8:21 PM - by Chris Pike
SOUTH Fremantle and Swan Districts played in finals last year in the WAFL, both have three wins on the board already in 2018 and it shapes as a fascinating contest on Saturday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval. The Bulldogs and Swans are both coming off some impressive victories too heading into their Round 6 contest at the port that takes on greater significance with the State game break to come next week meaning they will both be desperate to head into that in winning form. South Fremantle has now won its past three matches against West Perth by eight points, East Fremantle by 94 and Claremont by 27 since a first up loss to Subiaco by 58 points. Read More ...


Round 6 Preview – Peel Thunder v Claremont

Friday, May 4, 2018 - 8:06 PM - by Chris Pike
NEITHER Peel Thunder nor Claremont have had the starts to the 2018 WAFL season they were hoping for heightening the stakes as they meet at Bendigo Bank Stadium on Saturday. Peel and Claremont have both won just once in their four games each so far in 2018 and slipping to 1-4 entering the State game break will make it a long road back for the loser. Considering by the end of the round, there is the potential that all teams inside the top five could already have four wins on the board, falling three games behind already after six rounds with the shorter season in 2018 would make it difficult to recover and play finals.
