WAFL round 17
On another horrible Saturday the game of the round and, thankfully, the Channel 7 game was at Rushton Park. Peel and South Fremantle slogged away all afternoon and the final margin in favour of Thunder was biggest of the day.

WAFL round 16

WAFL round 15
The history making meeting between East Perth and Peel led me to East Fremantle Oval despite the game between first and third also being within walking distance. While I missed the first WAFL draw in 10 years there was still plenty of interest at the neutral venue where the finals aspirations of the Royals dived.

WAFL round 14
If you see any “genuine WACA turf” up for sale on eBay the chances are 1. it’s real and 2. it’s been put up by South Fremantle midfielders Haiden Schloithe (1) or Jarrod Doney (5).

Minutes after Fremantle secured victory over Hawthorn at Perth Stadium East Fremantle won a thriller a short walk away at the WACA. The Sharks were two points down at three quarter time and held on in the closing stages. Cody Leggett kicked five goals in his best game for East Fremantle, Matthew Jupp outpointed the dangerous Tyler Keitel and Milan Murdock was lively in the midfield. Keegan Knott kicked four goals for the Falcons.
