EAST Fremantle midfielder Jamie McNamara has achieved plenty in his WAFL, AFL, VFL and State career as the 27-year-old prepares for his 100th appearance with the Sharks, but it's that elusive premiership that he is continuing to strive for more than anything. McNamara has now played 99 matches in the WAFL with East Fremantle, has represented Western Australia, played 19 AFL games with the West Coast Eagles and spent two seasons in the VFL with Williamstown. The hard-at-it and prolific ball winning midfielder is now preparing for his 100th WAFL match in the Foundation Derby on WA Day against South Fremantle at ATOM Stadium on Monday, but that ultimate success of winning a premiership continues to elude him after three straight preliminary final appearances.

EAST Perth wingman Freddie Clutterbuck is looking forward to returning in the WA Day derby on Monday against West Perth and is confident that the State game break came at the right time for the Royals to regroup and get their 2015 WAFL season back on track. The Royals have made the last two grand finals and were looking on track to be a contender again this season following wins in Rounds 2 and 3 over Swan Districts and Subiaco. Despite a 103-point win over Perth in Round 6, things haven’t gone to plan since and heading into the State game break East Perth had lost three straight matches, including having kicked two goals only in the last five quarters starting against West Perth and then against Claremont. Clutterbuck injured a quadriceps muscle in the second half of the loss to West Perth and didn’t play against Claremont where the Royals kicked just 2.9, their lowest ever score against the Tigers.

CORY Dell'Olio likely played his best game of the year on return to the WAFL in Saturday's State game win over South Australia and now he is looking to continue that form for South Fremantle in WA Day's Foundation Derby as the Bulldogs look to get back on the winner's list. Dell'Olio was a late addition to the WA squad to take on the SANFL in Saturday's eventual 45-point State game win at Lathlain Park, but in the end his second time representing his state proved a day to remember. He previously played for WA in 2011 against Queensland before the South Fremantle premiership forward spent the last three years in the AFL with Essendon. The 25-year-old has returned to the Bulldogs this year and on Saturday formed part of a terrific forward-line for WA alongside Simpson Medallist Ryan Davis, Shane Yarran, Tony Notte, Clancy Wheeler and Lachlan Delahunty.

ANDREW Strijk has plenty of highlights throughout his decade-long career but his two best State game memories have now been wins over South Australia following Western Australia's 45-point win at Lathlain Park on Saturday.  Strijk has now played 155 games for West Perth since making his WAFL debut in 2006 and he added 13 matches in the AFL with the West Coast Eagles, and has now represented the WAFL four times in State matches. And along the way he has become a WAFL premiership player, won a West Perth fairest and best awards and had plenty of career highlights, but the wins over the SANFL in State matches are right up there. Strijk was part of the WA team that beat South Australia by a point in 2009 to break a 15-year drought and then again on Saturday, he starred in WA's 45-point win over the Croweaters at Lathlain Park.

RYAN Davis has been among the most damaging players in the WAFL for several years as a hard-tackling, skilful and goalkicking half-forward since settling into that role and the Swan Districts premiership player was a clear choice for the Simpson Medal in Saturday's State game. Davis kicked five goals in the WAFL's 45-point win over the SANFL at Lathlain Park on Saturday to go along with 25 possessions, 10 inside-50 entries and eight marks and following the game, was awarded the Simpson Medal after being judged Western Australia's best player. Despite still being only 25 years of age, Davis has now played 123 WAFL matches with Swan Districts and did play 14 AFL games with the West Coast Eagles way back in 2008 and 2009, but that was when he was considered a running defender. However, since 2012 Davis has settled into a role playing mostly as a forward with stints in the midfield and his work rate has gone through the roof becoming a ferocious tackler who then constantly sends his team into attack, kicks goal and has been a match-winner a host of times.

HIS phone would ring off the hook the second he declared an interest in coaching again, but Darren Harris just revelled in the experience of guiding the WAFL to a State game win over the SANFL both to help the players achieve what they did and to work with some of his favourite people again. Harris has made it clear that since returning to Perth from Carlton at the end of 2012 that he doesn’t have the time to coach a team in his own right given his work with Leading Teams, but he has again proven that he still has what it takes. Having originally joining West Perth in the early 1990s and going on to be a premiership captain in 1995 and then returning to be a premiership coach in 2003, Harris became a premiership assistant coach in the AFL with West Coast and then spent time as a development coach Carlton. Since 2012 he has worked with the innovative Leading Teams program, but was honoured to be asked to coach the WAFL State team this year and did a tremendous job in the lead up and on game day as WA scored the 45-point victory over South Australia at Lathlain Park on Saturday.

WESTERN Australia has recorded a third successive State match victory and second straight at home over South Australia following an impressive and exciting 45-point victory at Lathlain Park on Saturday. The WAFL State side went into the 2015 State match with a team full of running power sent out to take advantage of the wide expanses of Lathlain Park, and that plan worked a treat in the eventual 18.13 (121) to 11.10 (76) victory over the SANFL. WA got off to a flying start kicking the first three goals, but then South Australia hit back with the next five either side of quarter-time to threaten to blow the game open. Read More ...
