PEEL Thunder coach Cam Shepherd is delighted that Brendon Jones has played on again in 2014 and he has continued the outstanding form he has shown his entire career, but is disappointed he hasn’t been offered a chance for what would be the highlight of his career. Jones originally retired at the end of the 2013 season, but soon changed his mind and based on his form so far in 2014 it clearly has been the right decision. Read More ...

EAST Perth co-captain Brendan Lee missed the first six games of 2014 but has been superb the past fortnight in two just about best on ground performances to put him right in the mix to play in the WAFL team against the NEAFL next Saturday.

Having won the East Perth fairest and best in 2011, the Bendigo Bombers best and fairest in 2012 and then again the Royals' fairest and best last year, Lee has been consistent over a long period now but he suffered a hiccup on the eve of 2014 when he injured a finger and required surgery.
