NAIDOC Round of the WAFL certainly wasn’t blessed with great weather but it did produce fascinating results with Claremont and Perth knocking off the top two teams, and arch rivals West Perth and East Perth winning to set up a tantalising derby this Saturday. Some terribly wet weather greeted the WAFL clubs in action on Saturday as they celebrated NAIDOC Week by wearing specially designed Indigenous jumpers for the occasion. Perth continued its strong resurgence by beating reigning premiers Subiaco 6.6 (42) to 4.3 (27) at Lathlain Park. The win is the third straight for the Demons, the first time they have done so since the opening three games of 2013. Claremont scored the other upset of the day beating the second placed South Fremantle 11.3 (69) to 5.8 (38) at Fremantle Community Bank Oval for their fourth win of 2016 on the back of a seven-goal to nil first half. West Perth made it nine wins in its last 10 matches kicking the last eight goals against Peel Thunder to win 8.7 (55) to 1.5 (11) at Bendigo Bank Stadium and East Perth proved too good for Swan Districts winning 8.10 (58) to 2.6 (18) at Steel Blue Oval.

SOME terribly wet and cold weather greeted WAFL NAIDOC Round on Saturday and the result was some upset victories with Claremont and Perth beating the top two teams while West Perth moved closer to a top two spot and East Perth entered the top five. Cold weather and at times torrential rain certainly didn’t lead to much attacking and attractive football across the four games, but it meant that tough, determined and efficient football was the order of the day and it was Perth, West Perth, Claremont and East Perth who ran out victorious. Perth won its third straight match on the back of a tremendously hard-nosed performance beating the league-leading Subiaco 6.6 (42) to 4.3 (27) at Lathlain Park.
