Young proud to reach 150 but premiership with Sharks the aim

Saturday, September 13, 2014 - 12:54 PM - by Chris Pike
BECOMING a life member of the East Fremantle Football Club is something that means a lot to big man Rob Young as he reaches 150 games in Sunday's preliminary final but that pales into insignificance when he considers what winning a premiership with the Sharks would mean. Young arrived at East Fremantle in 2007 from VFL club Coburg initially because he thought being able to display his running power and mobility for his 197cm, 103kg frame in the WAFL would help him earn a crack at the AFL.

Malaxos hopes Sharks keep winning on back of strong leaders

Friday, September 12, 2014 - 11:29 AM - by Chris Pike
EAST Fremantle coach Steve Malaxos credits the belief and determination of his leadership group for a stunning first semi-final comeback against Swan Districts and now he hopes they can earn another crack at a grand final in 2014. Even though East Fremantle was finishing with a strong breeze at home last Sunday against Swan Districts, it did appear a bridge too far to make up a 30-point deficit to keep their season alive. However, the Sharks delivered a remarkable nine-goal to nil final quarter to end up winning by 23 points and book a place in this Sunday's preliminary final against Subiaco at Leederville's Medibank Stadium.

Schofield confident Lions can bounce back to reach grand final

Friday, September 12, 2014 - 10:21 AM - by Chris Pike
SUBIACO coach Jarrad Schofield remains confident his team will bounce back from last Sunday's second semi-final loss to East Perth and get over East Fremantle in this Sunday's preliminary final to earn another crack at the Royals in the grand final. Subiaco was the only team to not taste defeat at the hands of East Perth during the 2014 home and away season on the way to finishing in second position on the ladder, but the Lions came up short to the tune of 32 points in last Sunday's second semi-final clash at Medibank Stadium. The Lions now have another chance to reach the grand final of 2014 by hosting the Sharks this Sunday again at Medibank Stadium and Schofield remains confident his team will bounce back well from the loss to East Perth.

Retired Handley confident Claremont will be a force in 2015

Thursday, September 11, 2014 - 11:21 AM - by Chris Pike
TWO-time Claremont premiership star Trinity Handley is still adjusting to the fact that he has played the last game of his outstanding WAFL career but has no doubt that the giant strides made by the Tigers in the second half of 2014 will hold the club in good stead. Handley played the last game of his 189-match career alongside the also retiring Luke Blackwell, Andrew Foster and Matt Orzel in Claremont's stirring final round victory over East Perth at Medibank Stadium. That brings to an end a career that saw Handley take part in five grand finals for two premierships and 17 finals matches overall including an appearance for WA since making his debut in 2004 and he was part of a consistently strong Claremont team that made finals in seven of his 10 seasons.

Wulff focused on trying to win flag before deciding future

Thursday, September 11, 2014 - 1:14 AM - by Chris Pike
EAST Perth co-captain Craig Wulff needs to decide if he can tear himself away from the Royals to spend more time at home when weighing up if he plays on in 2015, but right now he wants to play in the first premiership of his remarkable 245-game WAFL career. Wulff played for 11 years in the WAFL and in 225 matches before making it into his first grand final last year in the loss to West Perth and now he is preparing for his second in as many years after East Perth qualified for the 2014 decider with a 32-point win over Subiaco in the second semi-final. East Perth will now have preliminary final weekend off while Subiaco and East Fremantle do battle on Sunday for a place in the grand final on Sunday September 21 at Patersons Stadium. Read More ...


Young hopes Sharks can keep momentum going in prelim

Wednesday, September 10, 2014 - 6:31 PM - by Chris Pike
ROB Young could have very well played in the most remarkable win of his 149-game career with East Fremantle in Sunday's first semi-final as he now desperately tries to help the Sharks beat Subiaco in this Sunday's preliminary final. East Fremantle looked dead and buried five goals down to Swan Districts at home on Sunday in the cut-throat first semi-final, but the Sharks took advantage of the howling wind, a tired opponent and their own self belief to pile on nine goals to nil to end up winning by 23 points in stunning fashion. That was just the third winning final that Young has played in since joining East Fremantle from VFL club Coburg in 2007 as he now prepares for his 150th game to become a life member at the Sharks in this Sunday's preliminary final at Medibank Stadium against Subiaco.

Comet Bay College claim Eagles Schoolboys crown

Monday, September 8, 2014 - 10:48 AM
In what has been described as one of the best games of Schoolboys football seen in recent times Comet Bay College pulled off a miraculous final minute goal to seal their first Eagles Schoolboys Cup crown over a fast finishing Trinity College.   The contest was hard fought throughout with eight points the margin in favour of Comet Bay at half time. They increased their lead to 20 points at three quarter time break and it looked like the game was almost over. But a ‘never say die’ attitude from Trinity had the scores even with only 90 seconds left on the clock. Read More ...
