SWAN Districts and South Fremantle both made winning starts to their 2017 WAFL seasons last Saturday and will be looking to continue that momentum on Saturday at Steel Blue Oval. Swans had a disastrous season in 2016 but is already halfway to reaching that win tally following last week's 12-point win over Perth at Steel Blue Oval. South Fremantle had a much better 2016 and played finals for the first time since 2011, and won its first final since the 2009 grand final, and backed that up with a supremely impressive Round 1 win over Subiaco by 39 points last Saturday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

AS a great of the West Perth Football Club, Darren Harris was unsure about coaching another WAFL club before accepting the role at Claremont but he already feels at home with the Tigers. Harris arrived at West Perth in 1992 from the Wodonga Bulldogs in the Ovens & Murray Football League and made an immediate, and lasting impact. He went on to play 109 games with the Falcons over the next five seasons and in 1995, he had a year that only dreams are made of.  Read More ...

Proud West Australian and four-time World Champion professional boxer Danny Green will join Swan Districts FC on Saturday, March 25 to help the club kick off its 'Stop the Coward’s Punch' Game against South Fremantle at Steel Blue Oval. "I'm very pleased to be working with Swan Districts FC on bringing the Coward's Punch Campaign to the community via the WAFL," Green said.

PERTH made a flying start with eight first quarter goals but Swan Districts took over from there to record a 12-point Round 1 WAFL victory on Saturday at Steel Blue Oval.
