Curley rates Guglielmana as best small defender ahead of 100th

Thursday, June 18, 2015 - 8:07 PM - by Chris Pike
HIS coach feels as though he is the best small defender in the WAFL and it's difficult to argue as Adam Guglielmana prepares to play his 100th game for South Fremantle this Saturday against West Perth at HBF Arena. It has been a long journey to the century for Guglielmana as well with the 26-year-old making his league debut in 2008 but managing just 12 games in his first two seasons forced to serve a lengthy apprenticeship waiting in the wings of the 2009 premiership team. By 2010, he found that regular spot mostly as a midfielder and wingman before a knee injury ended his 2011 prematurely and saw him miss out on playing finals yet again – a chance he is still waiting for. Paul Hasleby had taken over as coach by 2012 and continued to use Guglielmana through the middle but also more in the forward-line to good effect, and that’s again where he started the 2014 season but a shift to defence early last year has proved to be a masterstroke.
