MUCH of the talk surrounding East Perth this season has been about its partnership with the West Coast Eagles, but it is the Royals' WAFL players who will likely be the deciding factor in winning a premiership on Sunday or not with Dean Cadwallader as important as anyone. Cadwallader has now played 40 matches with East Perth since making his debut in 2010, but his last three against Peel Thunder, Claremont and then the second semi-final against Subiaco could very well have been his best in just about best on ground performances in a new role across half-back. East Perth is coming off losing last year's WAFL grand final to West Perth by 49 points but the Royals have been on top of the ladder through most of 2014 ending the year as minor premiers and then booking a grand final sport with a 32-point second semi-final win over Subiaco at Medibank Stadium.

WAYDE Twomey came to Subiaco from Swan Districts in 2014 confident the Lions could be a force and now he is preparing for his third WAFL grand final appearance and couldn’t be more excited about it. The 28-year-old starred in Swan Districts' successful teams between 2008 and 2010 when he first arrived from VFL club with Werribee and in that time Swans lost the 2008 grand final to Subiaco and the 2009 preliminary final to the Lions so seeing Subiaco involved in September is nothing new. Twomey was then part of Swan Districts' stunning one-point grand final win over Claremont in 2010 before he earned a chance in the AFL with Carlton in 2011 and then returned to Swan Districts in 2012 where he was again part of two more finals campaigns while also winning the 2013 Simpson Medal for his five-goal haul in the State game win over Victoria.

AARON Black has worked tirelessly to improve constantly throughout his 85-game WAFL career with West Perth and the 21-year-old was rewarded with the 2014 Sandover Medal on Monday night but even he was surprised at the result. Black won the Sandover Medal for 2014 on Monday night polling 47 votes to win by one vote ahead of teammate Shane Nelson and former winner and pre-count favourite Luke Blackwell with Subiaco captain Kyal Horsley finishing on 45 votes and East Fremantle's Bradd Dalziell 43. It was a thrilling vote count but in the end Black won after polling in the final eight games of the season and held on to win with Blackwell not polling a vote in Claremont's Round 23 victory over East Perth where most pundits had him close to best on ground, if not the best afield that day.

WEST Perth has its first Sandover Medal winner since 1993 with 21-year-old star Aaron Black winning a thrilling vote count on Monday night with only four votes splitting the top five players. Black might not turn 22 until Christmas Day this year but has already played 85 league matches and now can add a Sandover Medal to the 2013 premiership and a State game appearance for Western Australia in 2013. It was a thrilling Sandover Medal vote count on Monday night at the Grand Ball Room at Crown Perth with Black finishing on 47 votes, but only taking the lead thanks to three votes in the final round while pre-count favourite Luke Blackwell didn’t poll and was left on 46 votes.

THE Sandover Medal for 2014 looks to have a host of potential winners with two players in the running to win the WAFL's most prestigious honour for a second time while a band of midfielders fresh off AFL lists sure to be among the top vote getters as well. The 2011 Sandover Medal winner Luke Blackwell and last year's winner Rory O'Brien appear to be two players in the running to take out the award as the WAFL's fairest and best player for the second time, but there isn't a shortage of players that they will be contending with on the night. The Sandover Medal count for 2014 will be held this Monday night in the Grand Ball Room at Crown Perth with the event broadcast live on radio via 91.3 SportFM from 6.30pm while it will be live streamed at www.thewest.com.au from 8.30pm.

SUBIACO has appeared to be East Perth's great challenger for the 2014 season and now that will eventuate in the two meeting in next Sunday's WAFL grand final after the Lions beat an inaccurate East Fremantle by five points in Sunday's preliminary final. The Lions and Sharks took to Medibank Stadium with a spot in the grand final at Patersons Stadium against East Perth at stake, and it was Subiaco who prevailed in the finish winning 10.13 (73) to 7.26 (68). It was a devastating loss for an East Fremantle team who was celebrating milestones for Rob Young (150 games), Mark McGough (100) and Brett Peake (100) and trying to at least make a grand final in the last year of the career of Steven Dodd.

BRIAN Dawson will now coach in his fourth grand final in five years as a senior WAFL coach but in his typical style he is only focusing on trying to do whatever he can to help his East Perth players win a first premiership since 2002. Dawson is now one game away from completing his fifth season as a league coach and that has seen him make the 2008 and 2010 grand finals with Swan Districts, and now the 2013 and 2014 grand finals with East Perth in a remarkable run at the helm of both clubs. Dawson led Swan Districts to a stunning 2010 premiership victory against Claremont but that was built on the back of a learning experience with a young team that lost the 2008 grand final to Subiaco and then suffered a disappointing exit in the 2009 preliminary final.

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.

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.
