EAST Fremantle vice-captain Andrew Stephen isn’t hiding from the fact that the Sharks' current seven-game losing run has built the frustration levels at the club, but he's confident that a first win under caretaker coach Brad Dodd could come this Sunday against South Fremantle.

However, East Fremantle has now not won a game since losing its last seven with a change of coach in that time with Steve Malaxos parting ways with the club and Dodd taking over. Read More ...

As a family, we are in our infancy in terms of our footy sideline journey. With a two year old daughter and a six year old son, we have many years of organized (and not-so-organized) sport ahead of us. As keen competitors ourselves, we never imagined that being track-side, court-side, pool-side, pitch-side or field-side could bring so much responsibility – and joy! We have always been an active, sport loving and community minded couple – so it’s no big surprise that our family life is a natural extension of this. Read More ...

WAFL Top 5 Finals Format The WAFL has only ever played with a top 5 during four seasons, from 1991 to 1994, when Claremont and East Fremantle each won two flags. Read More ...
