The football community is celebrating the life of John K. Watts after the WA Football Hall of Famer passed away at the age of 80 on the weekend. Watts will be remembered as one of the state’s best-ever full-backs, an East Perth legend and a true entertainer who always gave generously of his time and talent. Watts played in six grand finals in a stellar football career with East Perth, winning three premierships. After the 1962 season, he received offers from St Kilda and Essendon before a phone call from his mate Polly Farmer convinced him to join the champion ruckman at Geelong. The decision was vindicated when he starred in the 1963 grand final against Hawthorn, holding back the Hawks’ attacking thrusts with 10 marks, including Mark of the Day. After 52 games for the Cats he moved to Tasmania to captain-coach the Hobart Football Club for a premiership in 1966, achieving the rare feat of playing in three premiership sides in three different States.

BEING one of the best defenders in the WAFL who rarely gets beaten doesn't always come with great accolades and Alex Howard has quietly achieved that already ahead of his 100th game for Swan Districts this Saturday. Howard played his colts football with Swan Districts with Greg Harding as his coach and then when both were ready for league football as player and coach, it all got underway in 2011 and they have virtually been inseparable since. Harding took over as coach of Swan Districts in 2011 fresh off Brian Dawson leading them to a remarkable premiership victory. After using him as a focal point of his defence, Harding then had no qualms throwing Howard into the deep end at league level. Read More ...

SOUTH Fremantle full-forward Ben Saunders is made for the big stage and he showed why with a third straight starring performance for the WAFL State Team in Saturday's win over the VFL as he added a Simpson Medal to his three Bernie Naylor Medals. Saunders might not have been able to cement a spot in a supremely strong Claremont team back in 2010 and 2011. He had managed just five senior games for eight goals but in 18 reserves matches in 2011, he kicked 68 goals. He without question had the potential to be a star in the WAFL, it was just opportunity that he was after. Read More ...

CREATING history and being part of winning West Australian teams is nothing new for Michael Broadbridge but coaching the WAFL State Team to a drought breaking win in Melbourne takes the cake for him. Broadbridge had previously been part of Western Australia's Teal Cup triumph in 1985 as a player and then also coached the WA State 18s team to a national championship in 1999, so winning with the Black Swans was nothing new to him. But in his first season since stepping down as Claremont coach in the WAFL after three years and away from a regular involvement in top-level football, Broadbridge was only too happy to take on the challenge of trying to beat Victoria in Melbourne for the first time.
