Demons leave no stone unturned in bid to climb ladder

Thursday, February 11, 2016 - 4:00 PM - by Chris Pike
PERTH is leaving no stone unturned in trying to have its finals drought end at 18 seasons with the Demons putting together a supremely impressive summer that looks set to see them possess the best WAFL midfield in 2016. Perth has not played in a finals series since 1997 and has endured a particularly difficult past two seasons. Despite taking some strides forward in 2015 in Earl Spalding's first season as coach, the Demons won just two games. That came on the back of losing their last 14 matches of 2014 so Perth comes into 2016 having lost 32 of its past 34 games. Read More ...

Friday, February 5, 2016 - 1:42 AM - by Chris Pike
SWAN Districts might not have any quick fixes for providing both young and experienced talent into the AFL, but coach Greg Harding has made a tremendous success of banking on youth and that will again be the approach in 2016. Ever since Swans won the 2010 WAFL premiership in stunning style, Harding has taken over as coach of the black-and-whites from Brian Dawson and after his success with the colts program at the club, he has had a terrific job by banking on youth with recruiting being kept to a minimum. One of those senior players who was a premiership star and has only continued to get better every year since under Harding is Ryan Davis, and the 2015 Simpson Medallist was rewarded for his outstanding performance by being drafted to the Gold Coast Suns.
