EAST Fremantle is back home at East Fremantle Oval for its last two games of the 2017 season as the Sharks look to avoid the wooden spoon but the first task this Saturday of reigning premiers Peel Thunder is a tough one. The Sharks have won just two games so far this season but they have managed to climb from the bottom of the WAFL ladder with two wins over Perth in the second half of the season and now with more competitive efforts than the Demons in recent times.

HE has earned his reputation as the best lockdown defender in the WAFL and while the journey to 100 games has had a few more injury hurdles than he would have liked, East Perth co-captain Kyle Anderson couldn’t be prouder to get there this Saturday. Anderson made the move from Margaret River to join East Perth to first play colts back in 2009 and impressed sufficiently to make his league debut and play five matches and show exciting signs for the future as a teenager. But it wouldn’t be until Round 1, 2011 that he made another appearance in the league side and virtually ever since then when he has been healthy, Anderson has built his reputation as the best and most respected lockdown defender in the WAFL.

THERE is much more to West Perth premiership star Kody Manning than his reputation as the inspirational hard man of the WAFL even if that style of play that has likely stopped him reaching 100 games with the Falcons before this Saturday. Manning remains the standout player in the WAFL who can inspire his team through his physicality and that's not to say he isn’t fair and doesn’t have a lot of other strings to his bow. The 2013 premiership player simply plays in a style where he thrives on the physical contact and whether that means he lays a big bump, puts on a crunching tackle or bursts through a contest or a pack, he just goes about his football in a way that you rarely see in the modern day.

League Grand Final: Coastal Titans v Swan Districts  2.30pm Leederville Oval Over each round of the 2017 Mundella WAWFL season, two teams have deservedly thrust themselves into the spotlight as the unarguable benchmarks of the competition.
