Greg Harding standing down as Swan Districts coach

Friday, July 21, 2017 - 9:28 AM
Swan Districts Football Club Senior coach Greg Harding will stand down from his position at the end of the 2017 season after seven strong years of leadership and development at the Club. Harding cited personal reasons for his decision to not continue beyond 2017 and said: “I have made the difficult decision to step down from the senior coaching position at SDFC at the end of this 2017 season. In doing so, I firmly believe the decision is timely and during a period when the club is progressing strongly both on and off the field. “My announcement prior to the end of the season will provide the club with important time to source and employ the best possible candidate to lead Swans into 2018 and beyond.

Phelan proud to have stuck at it for decorated Lions career

Thursday, July 20, 2017 - 10:51 PM - by Chris Pike
CHRIS Phelan's 150-game milestone might have hardly gone to plan personally but as he nears a return from his knee injury suffered back in Round 10, the dual premiership winning midfielder has reflected on a journey he almost gave up on back in 2011. Phelan has had a remarkable last four years with Subiaco playing in two premierships and three grand finals, two fairest and best awards and a state appearance for the WAFL, but it wasn’t always a given that the prolific midfielder would make it with the Lions. When he was coming up through the ranks Subiaco was in the middle of a premiership hat-trick between 2006 and 2008. His lone game in 2008 came when Daniel Chick missed a game with an ankle injury but he was then straight back out missing the premiership of that year. Read More ...

Attacking defender Schofield never been happier ahead of 100th

Friday, July 14, 2017 - 7:59 AM - by Chris Pike
JAYDEN Schofield has become one of, if not the best, attacking defenders in the WAFL and as he approaches his 100th game on Saturday he desperately wants to help East Fremantle back to being a powerhouse of the competition. Schofield could never quite settle his position or find the role that best suited his attributes as a hard-running, highly skilled natural ball winner once he returned to East Fremantle after an AFL season with the Western Bulldogs in 2011 on the back of starring in the Sharks' 2010 colts premiership. He did play 68 league games but also 15 in the reserves over those first four seasons back with the Sharks and he readily admits that he never really felt settled or confident in his ability to be a consistent league performer.
