Swans have started the season impressively winning their opening four games and it was only a narrow five-point loss to West Perth at HBF Arena last week that saw them lose for the first time.

WEST Perth's response to a big loss to South Fremantle couldn’t have been more impressive the past two weeks but the Falcons won't want any sort of drop off against Perth on Saturday at HBF Arena. The Falcons were rocked three weeks ago with a 103-point defeat at the hands of South Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval, but how they responded would tell the story of their season. And to West Perth's credit, it has hit back impressively to beat Peel Thunder in Mandurah by 35 points and then last Saturday handing Swan Districts its first loss of the season with a five-point triumph at HBF Arena.

SWAN Districts and Claremont are two teams who missed the WAFL finals in 2016 but have made impressive starts to 2017 with some added spice added to Saturday's clash at Steel Blue Oval with both coming off losses. Swan Districts opened the season with four straight victories before losing last week to West Perth. Claremont also opened the campaign with three successive wins but have lost the last two weeks against South Fremantle and Subiaco. Swans and the Tigers have still made impressive starts and considering Swan Districts would improve to 5-1 and Claremont to 4-2 with a win on Saturday, there's plenty at stake at Steel Blue Oval.
