Subiaco go back-to-back with sixth premiership in last 12 years

Sunday, September 27, 2015 - 7:03 PM - by Chris Pike
SUBIACO is back-to-back WAFL premiers again having now won six premierships in the past 12 years after beating West Perth in the 2015 Grand Final by 66 points at Domain Stadium. Coming off the premiership in 2014, Subiaco was the dominant team right throughout the 2015 season ending the home and away campaign four games clear on top of the ladder, and then winning straight into the grand final with a victory over West Perth in the second semi-final. West Perth did win the 2013 premiership and had beaten Subiaco once during 2015 with the Falcons ending the season in second position and winning finals against Peel Thunder and East Perth either side of the second semi-final loss to qualify for the decider on Sunday.

South Fremantle reserves cap dominant season with premiership

Sunday, September 27, 2015 - 2:14 PM - by Chris Pike
SOUTH Fremantle's reserves were the dominant team all season and didn’t trip up in the Grand Final at Domain Stadium on Sunday beating Swan Districts by 71 points for a second premiership in three years. South Fremantle lost just two games all season long in the reserves and had won its last eight straight matches coming into the grand final, but it was Swan Districts who handed the Bulldogs their last defeat back in Round 14. And Swans came into the grand final in good form following finals victories over West Perth and Subiaco, but come the decider it was a fresher and stronger South Fremantle line-up that was in control most of the contest despite the black-and-whites booting the first goal. Swan Districts did cut South Fremantle's lead to three points early in the second quarter, but Swans didn’t kick another goal from that point on with South Fremantle kicking the last seven goals of the game to end up winning 15.19 (109) to 5.8 (38).

Claremont dominate Grand Final to win 14th colts premiership

Sunday, September 27, 2015 - 11:32 AM - by Chris Pike
CLAREMONT'S standing as the best WAFL team in the REDiMED Colts has been further enhanced with the Tigers claiming their 14th premiership of the past 40 years with a 69-point grand final victory over Swan Districts at Domain Stadium. Claremont had never made a grand final in the colts until 1976, but that started a run of four straight premierships, and since then the Tigers have now won 14 in total and only missed the finals on four occasions with three of those flags coming in the last seven years. There was the added motivation entering this Sunday's grand final with the Tigers having lost last year's premiership decider to Swan Districts, and then both teams have been going neck and neck throughout this season.

Co-captain looks for Falcons to rise to occasion

Friday, September 25, 2015 - 4:34 PM - by Chris Pike
JAY van Berlo won a Breckler Medal back in 2008, made his AFL debut in 2009 and became a WAFL premiership player in 2013, and now he has the chance to become a premiership captain for West Perth in Sunday's grand final against Subiaco. On the heels of his older brother Nathan coming through West Perth before being drafted to Adelaide where he's gone on to play 202 AFL games and be captain, and setting the scene for his younger brother Mitch to come through who has now played 16 WAFL matches, Jay van Berlo continues to be one of the best and most consistent players in the competition. The now 27-year-old won West Perth's fairest and best award in his first full season of WAFL football in 2008 and that led to him being picked up by Fremantle where he went on to play 32 AFL matches with the Dockers with his last being the western derby of Round 9, 2012.

Horsley primed for grand final after toughest year of career

Friday, September 25, 2015 - 4:07 PM - by Chris Pike
KYAL Horsley's return to Subiaco last year went just about perfectly with him ending up premiership captain but he admits that 2015 has been his toughest season with injury troubles, but he is confident that's all behind him now entering Sunday's WAFL grand final against West Perth. Horsley broke into the Subiaco team that was in the middle of a premiership hat-trick to play in the flag of 2008, the losing grand final of 2009 and then he had the best season of his career up to that point in 2011 that led to his drafting by the Gold Coast Suns. He played 14 matches in two years with the Suns and showed he was more than up to AFL standard, but the tough and prolific ball-winning left-footer found himself delisted at the end of 2013 and he returned to Subiaco.

Monaghan looks for improved Falcons no matter who ends up in final 22

Friday, September 25, 2015 - 1:03 AM - by Chris Pike
WEST Perth delivered a memorable preliminary final win despite plenty seeming to be working against the Falcons with the only downside being two injuries that now leaves coach Bill Monaghan with interesting selection decisions to make ahead of Sunday's grand final against Subiaco. Despite playing in its 11th consecutive match since a bye in Round 15 coming off a 55-point second semi-final loss to Subiaco and then falling three goals down at quarter-time in the preliminary final against East Perth at HBF Arena on Sunday, West Perth was able to deliver a tremendous last three quarters. In front of a crowd of more than 8500 people and despite losing Matt Johnson (hamstring) and Laine Rasmussen (ankle) to injury by early in the third quarter, West Perth kicked 13 goals to six after quarter-time to beat the Royals by 29 points.

Subiaco's Brett Robinson in good place on and off field

Wednesday, September 23, 2015 - 12:42 PM - by Chris Pike
THREE tough years after being part of Swan Districts' remarkable 2010 premiership left Brett Robinson questioning whether he still wanted to play WAFL football, but the way the last 12 months have gone since joining Subiaco, becoming a father and getting married has meant he has never been happier on and off the field. Robinson grew up in Tasmania where he began his senior football career, then moved to Melbourne to play with Werribee in the VFL and then Swan Districts came calling and he joined the WAFL in 2008 under coach Brian Dawson alongside Wayde Twomey and Tim Geappen. Robinson had a stunning first two years as a damaging, hard running and goal kicking midfielder becoming one of the best players in the competition in a Swans team that made the grand final in 2008 and a preliminary final in 2009 – ironically losing both to Subiaco.

Bold, brave move to join Perth pays off in spades for Tropiano

Wednesday, September 23, 2015 - 2:23 AM - by Chris Pike
ALL Aidan Tropiano was craving was an opportunity as a midfielder when he made the move to join Perth from East Fremantle midway through the 2014 WAFL season and that decision has paid off in spades with him having a Sandover Medal, Butcher Medal and State jumper to show for it. Tropiano played 36 games with East Fremantle between 2011 and 2014, but since joining Perth just after the halfway mark of last season the now 23-year-old has proven himself as one of the hardest working and biggest ball-winning midfielders in the competition. After leading the WAFL by far in possessions and clearances for the season, and being the most consistent performer across the board, Tropiano won the Sandover Medal in a thrilling count on Monday night one vote ahead of South Fremantle's Ashton Hams and four ahead of Subiaco's Sam Menegola.
