SWAN Districts had to turn around disappointing form heading into the finals but with the motivation of a 200-game milestone and the retirement of a favourite son, they delivered a terrific performance to beat West Perth by 15 points in front of a big crowd at Steel Blue Oval.   Swan Districts qualified for the AHG WAFL Finals Series in fourth position but had lost four straight games including a 61-point loss to the lowly East Fremantle last Saturday so it was always going to take something special to turn that around on Sunday.   West Perth might not have been in much better form losing seven of 10 games entering the finals too, but the Falcons were a team used to being there come finals time and who appeared better equipped coming into the contest.

PEEL Thunder has won its fifth straight WAFL final to now be one win from back-to-back grand final appearances after a strong 18-point victory against South Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday.   South Fremantle came into the qualifying final on home turf at Fremantle Community Bank Oval and on a nine-game winning streak, but slow starts have been the problem for the Bulldogs at different times this season and it was again the case on Saturday.   It wasn’t so much that South Fremantle started slowly this time, but it was the sheer intensity that Peel came out with and their hardness at the contest and pressure they put on the Bulldogs that made life challenging for the home side.

THE AHG WAFL Finals Series for 2017 began across the weekend with Peel Thunder sending an ominous message beating South Fremantle by 18 points and then Swan Districts keeping its season alive beating West Perth by 15. The WAFL qualifying final took place on Saturday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval and despite South Fremantle coming into the game on a nine-game winning streak and with home ground advantage, it was Peel who started well and led virtually all day.

FORM goes right out the window on Sunday in the WAFL elimination final when Swan Districts hosts West Perth at Steel Blue Oval. Neither team might be entering the AHG WAFL Finals Series in peak form but that will count for little when their seasons go on the line Sunday at the Bassendean venue. With precious little separating the two teams over the course of the season with both winning 10 games and then Swan Districts only finishing in fourth position with a percentage 1.44 greater than that of West Perth, that says it all about the tightness of the contest that awaits. Read More ...

FOR most of 2017 West Perth looked guaranteed of playing in the AHG WAFL Finals Series and while it was hard work needing to beat Claremont last week, the Falcons are now there and looking to make the most of it. West Perth's form might not have been as strong as hoped to close the season, but the fact remains that the Falcons put in such a strong first half of the year to be in a good position and that by winning 10 games they were deserving of a finals spot ahead of East Perth and Claremont. In the end as well it was only just over one per cent that West Perth missed out on hosting this Sunday's elimination final against Swan Districts.  Read More ...

TONY Notte has played 124 straight matches as he prepares for game No. 200 with Swan Districts in Sunday's elimination final against West Perth and having achieved everything in his career, it's the quest for a premiership that continues to drive him. While it might seem like Notte has been around forever at Swan Districts having come through the ranks to play State 16s and State 18s before being drafted to West Coast in 2007 and making his league debut in 2008, he is only 27 years of age approaching game 200 this Sunday. Notte will bring up the milestone in front of his home fans at Steel Blue Oval in the elimination final against West Perth and while the 200-game mark is a big one to reach, given he is only 27 and has missed remarkably few games since debut, he has plenty left to offer Swans.
