Round 10 Preview - Subiaco v East Fremantle

Saturday, May 20, 2017 - 12:13 AM - by Chris Pike
IT IS top against bottom as Subiaco hosts East Fremantle at Leederville Oval on Saturday in the 7mate televised match of Round 10. Subiaco enter the clash having won seven straight matches while East Fremantle has lost its opening seven games of the 2017 season. But that doesn’t mean the Sharks can't cause an upset.  With the likes Brock O'Brien, Jayden Schofield, Cameron Eardley, Ryan Lester-Smith, George Hampson, Matthew Watson, Jonathan Marsh and Andrew Stephen, they certainly have enough talent to take it up to the Lions on paper.

Round 10 Preview - South Fremantle v East Perth

Friday, May 19, 2017 - 3:55 PM - by Chris Pike
WITH South Fremantle looking to maintain pace with Subiaco at the top of the WAFL ladder and East Perth out to continue its winning form, Saturday's clash at Fremantle Community Bank Oval looms as a beauty. South Fremantle might have given up top spot on the WAFL ladder with a 39-point loss to Subiaco last Saturday, but it has still been a strong start to the 2017 season for the Bulldogs. Going into the break for next week's state game with a 7-2 record would mark an impressive first half of 2017 for the Bulldogs but the Royals will take some beating. Read More ...


Round 10 Preview - Perth v Peel Thunder

Friday, May 19, 2017 - 3:15 PM - by Chris Pike
SATURDAY'S clash at Lathlain Park between Perth and Peel Thunder shapes as an intriguing one with the Demons looking for consecutive wins and the reigning premiers out to make it three straight heading into the state game break. Perth might have won just two games so far in 2017, but the Demons have shown vast improvement on last season in terms of their competitiveness and that shone through in a last gasp win over Claremont last Saturday. It won't mean much unless they can back it up, though, and making it back to back wins is going to be a big ask up against Peel at Lathlain Park on Saturday. Read More ...
