Clutterbuck, Payne prepare for first battle against one another

Friday, May 13, 2016 - 10:38 AM - by Chris Pike
FREDDIE Clutterbuck and Steven Payne became good friends and enjoyed playing in strong teams together at East Perth but now the wingmen are set to play on one another for the first time when Swan Districts take on the Royals at Medibank Stadium. There might be plenty of attention on West Coast's Lewis Jetta coming back to East Perth to take on the team he played with back in 2009 before being drafted to the Sydney Swans, and facing a Swans team featuring his older brother Graham on Saturday.

Thursday, May 12, 2016 - 1:00 PM - by Chris Pike
RYAN Cook came to South Fremantle looking for a one-year adventure after his time in the AFL but now sees himself a Bulldogs player for life as he prepares for his 100th WAFL appearance this Saturday. Cook spent four years playing 14 AFL matches with Collingwood but once he was delisted at the end of the 2010 season, he was looking for a new adventure in life and when the offer came to join the WAFL and play with South Fremantle, it was an opportunity he jumped at. But he only saw himself playing with the Bulldogs for that 2011 season before returning home. Five years later and Cook is about to celebrate his 100-game milestone this Saturday when the Bulldogs take on Peel Thunder at Fremantle Community Bank Oval. Read More ...
