PERTH and East Fremantle both entered the 2017 WAFL season with hopes of rising up the ladder but remain winless to date and another loss on Saturday at Lathlain Park will make it a long road back. The Demons and Sharks both missed out on the finals in 2016 but did show enough encouraging signs, especially in the first half of the season for each of them, that they weren’t too far away from the mark. So with some tinkering and improvement over the summer, it wasn’t far-fetched to imagine them improving in 2017. But so far there has been little sign of that and that needs to change on Saturday or there is the risk of it becoming too late for the loser. Read More ...
