PERTH finally got its first win on the board in almost 12 months last Saturday and now Demons coach Earl Spalding has his team primed to try and make it two in-a-row with a group of youngsters finding their feet and new arrivals fitting in nicely at their new home. Spalding never hid from the fact that taking over as coach of Perth at the end of a 2014 season that saw the Demons finish with the wooden spoon and on a 14-game losing streak was never going to be easy, and his job was to virtually build the club from scratch at league level. When he also took charge of a team that lost a host of its best and most experienced players including Paul Bevan, Cale Morton, Jared Risol, Nick Kane, Haydn Busher and Gerald Ugle, his job got that little bit harder.

IT WAS a time for statements in Round 5 of the WAFL on Saturday with Subiaco, East Fremantle and Peel Thunder all sending a message that they mean business with big road victories while Perth finally broke its losing run. It wasn’t a day for the home teams on Saturday with all four away sides recording victories and it was the reigning premiers and losing preliminary finalists from last year who perhaps sent the biggest message with big wins over opponents who had been in good form so far this year. Reigning premiers Subiaco hammered South Fremantle at Fremantle Oval winning 24.13 (157) to 10.8 (68) while East Fremantle proved too good for Swan Districts winning 16.7 (103) to 10.12 (72) at Steel Blue Oval. Peel Thunder then also won its third straight match to move into second position on the ladder beating East Perth 9.16 (70) to 7.5 (47) at Medibank Stadium and then Perth won the battle of winless teams downing Claremont 11.9 (75) to 10.6 (66) at the Claremont Showground.

EAST Perth co-captain Craig Wulff couldn’t be more proud to reach 250 games this Saturday with the club that holds a huge piece of his heart, but what he hopes more than anything is that it's third time lucky for that elusive premiership in 2015. Wulff came through his colts career and made his league debut with East Perth with the club in the middle of winning a hat-trick of premierships between 2000-02. He looked up those triple premiership stars and had every reason to expect he would get the chance to enjoy that premiership feeling before too long as well. Read More ...

SUBIACO premiership coach Jarrad Schofield was pleased with his team's response to beat West Perth last week after a disappointing previous five quarters and he has every reason to expect the Lions to continue to improve with some stars close to returning. Coming off winning last year's premiership thanks to a superb grand final performance against East Perth in difficult conditions, Subiaco picked up right where it left off to start the 2015 season with impressive wins over Claremont and East Fremantle. However, that winning run was ended with a thud at the hands of East Perth on Good Friday with the Royals winning the grand final rematch by 64 points and then coming off that, Subiaco didn’t score last Saturday in the first quarter against West Perth also at Medibank Stadium.
