No complacency at Subiaco as Lions hunt another hat-trick

Tuesday, March 15, 2016 - 12:44 AM - by Chris Pike
SUBIACO already has one premiership hat-trick this century and there are no signs of complacency at the Lions as they chase another in 2016. The Lions claimed the club's first ever premiership hat-trick with triumphs in 2006, 07 and 08 and now remarkably have a chance to do so again less than a decade following an upset win over East Perth in the 2014 grand final and dominating the competition in 2015 on the way to a 66-point win over West Perth in the decider. While Subiaco has lost three of their grand final stars from last year Matt Boland (returned to Melbourne), Shane Yarran (drafted by Fremantle) and Sam Menegola (drafted by Geelong), there is little sign of any drop off from the Lions coming into 2016.

New Thunder skipper Ugle not afraid to aim big

Tuesday, March 15, 2016 - 12:25 AM - by Chris Pike
NEW Peel Thunder captain Gerald Ugle is excited to be appointed skipper for 2016 and enjoyed the chance at playing finals in 2015, but neither he nor anyone involved in the Mandurah-based club are satisfied with just taking part in September. Peel made the WAFL finals for the first time in the club's history since joining the league in 1997 last year. After finishing the home and away season in third position, the Thunder went on to lose the qualifying final to West Perth at HBF Arena and then the first semi-final to East Perth at Bendigo Bank Stadium.

Murphy looks for some better luck as Tigers captain

Tuesday, March 15, 2016 - 12:05 AM - by Chris Pike
CLAREMONT captain Jake Murphy is hoping for better luck in his third season as captain of the Tigers as he looks to lead a young Tigers' midfield to help them to another finals campaign. When Murphy took over as Claremont captain in 2014 following the retirement of Andrew Browne, he was coming off the best season of his career where he was just about the best player in the WAFL following a 2013 season averaging 24.7 disposals and kicking 17 goals. As a dual premiership player, the then 24-year-old was a natural selection as the next captain at Claremont but things haven’t gone to plan the last two seasons with a horror injury run. Read More ...
