Round 4 - South Fremantle v West Perth Match Report

Monday, April 10, 2017 - 12:38 PM - by Chris Pike
SOUTH Fremantle unloaded its full arsenal on a shell-shocked West Perth on Saturday evening at Fremantle Community Bank Oval with the Bulldogs romping to a 103-point victory. While South Fremantle recorded three strong wins over West Perth in 2016, both teams did take part in finals action last season and there was nothing to suggest what was to come on Saturday. South Fremantle was coming off an impressive 43-point win over Peel while West Perth had lost narrowly to Subiaco last week, but what took place on Saturday put on full show just how potent the Bulldogs arsenal is when at full power. It was a relatively even first quarter with South Fremantle kicking first two and last two goals. But they kicked away from there with seven goals to two in the second term, four to nil in the third and eight to two in the last to win 23.8 (146) to 6.7 (43). Read More ...

Saturday, April 8, 2017 - 1:10 PM - by Chris Pike
IT is only fitting that South Fremantle wingman Shaun Bewick will celebrate his 100th WAFL game against his former team West Perth this Saturday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

Bewick never thought of anything else aside from playing with West Perth and made his league debut in 2009 but after just 30 games to his credit up until the end of 2011 he felt a fresh change was needed.

Round 4 Preview - Perth v East Fremantle

Friday, April 7, 2017 - 2:32 PM - by Chris Pike
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 ...
