IT IS a distinctly new-look Perth coming into the 2015 McDonald's WAFL Premiership season with a new coach, football manager, captain and a bevy of player changes as the Demons attempt to rise up the ladder. The Demons started their 2014 season strongly beating Claremont and South Fremantle to start with, but they recorded just the one more victory the entire campaign including a horror 14-match losing streak to finish off with as they ended with the wooden spoon. The season included a changeover in coach with Damien McMahon departing and Trevor Williams taking over in a caretaker capacity and now since former Carlton AFL and East Fremantle WAFL premiership player Earl Spalding has taken over the helm.

SUBIACO has opened the WAFL pre-season with a 30-point win over South Fremantle at Medibank Stadium on Friday night with the Lions using the chance to give their new recruits an early taste of playing for the reigning premiers.

However, South Fremantle managed just the two more goals for the rest of the evening while Subiaco booted 10 to end up winning by 30 points. Read More ...

SUBIACO pulled off a stunning grand final victory to claim the 2014 WAFL premiership and despite the loss of some key experienced players since, the Lions have topped up their playing stocks in an attempt to go back-to-back in 2015. Subiaco might have lost two of its last three games heading into last year's finals series and then lost the second semi-final to East Perth in the battle of the co-tenants, and just escaped against a wasteful East Fremantle in the preliminary final, but the Lions then put together a near perfect grand final performance against a heavily favoured East Perth. The result was a memorable premiership triumph for coach Jarrad Schofield and his team but like is the case at the end of most seasons, the Lions did suffer the loss of some key players.

PEEL Thunder has made a strong statement that it isn’t content with being aligned with Fremantle but wants to make a run for the WAFL finals for the first time with the recruitment of Gerald Ugle and Leroy Jetta giving them two exciting players with points to prove. Peel entered the WAFL in 1997 and along the way have finished last in the competition in nine of those 18 seasons and have never gone close to ending up in the top four, but there are some exciting signs heading into 2015. While the Thunder has a partnership with AFL club Fremantle meaning all Dockers players not playing at the top level line up with them in the WAFL, they are taking just as seriously their goals of being successful in the competition itself.
