AFTER a big weekend of WAFL action across Saturday and Sunday afternoon for Round 17, the only thing settled was that seven teams are still in the finals race for 2015 with Peel Thunder, Swan Districts, South Fremantle and East Perth all recording wins. The action began on Saturday afternoon with Peel Thunder beating Claremont 13.11 (89) to 9.13 (67) at the Showground, East Perth defeating Perth 13.9 (87) to 9.13 (67) at Medibank Stadium and Swan Districts kicking the last two goals to beat West Perth 9.11 (65) to 8.15 (63) at Steel Blue Oval. And finally on Sunday, South Fremantle kicked the first four goals of the last quarter to beat East Fremantle 10.12 (72) to 9.10 (64) at ATOM Stadium. The weekend's results mean that Subiaco (12-2) remains clear on top of the WAFL ladder but little separates teams from second through seventh. West Perth (9-5) remains second just ahead of Peel Thunder (9-6) with Swan Districts (8-7) and South Fremantle (8-7) rounding out the top five but Claremont (7-7) and East Perth (7-8) aren’t far behind.

SOUTH Fremantle kicked the first four goals of the last quarter to secure a crucial win in the final derby of 2015 over East Fremantle with the Bulldogs returning to the WAFL's top five in the process. East Fremantle kicked five goals to two in the third quarter with the advantage of the breeze at ATOM Stadium to lead by 11 points at three quarter-time, but South Fremantle made the most of the breeze in the final term to kick the first four goals. Two of those came from tight angles courtesy of 17-year-old debutant Callum Ah Chee with Josh Pullman kicking truly from a set shot, and Cory Dell'Olio from a snap as the Bulldogs ended up winning 10.12 (72) to 9.10 (64). The win sees South Fremantle replace Claremont in fifth position on the WAFL ladder while also winning its sixth straight match at East Fremantle Oval, and stretching the run of visiting teams winning Fremantle derbies to 11. East Fremantle also recorded an eight successive defeat in the process. Read More ...

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 ...
