ONLY Kane Mitchell will play on Sunday who was there last time Claremont reached a WAFL Grand Final, but the Claremont skipper knows all about delivering on the big stage and he can't wait to take advantage of being fresh heading into the decider. Claremont is preparing for its first WAFL Grand Final since 2012 when it heads to Fremantle Community Bank Oval this Sunday to take on South Fremantle in front of a sold out crowd of more than 10,000 people. Back in that 2012 Grand Final at Subiaco Oval, Claremont was right in the middle of a dominant period where they were about to play in a third straight premiership decider and about to claim a back-to-back flag in a stretch of finishing on top of the ladder four years straight from 2010-13.

SAM Fisher made the decision to play in the WAFL and join Swan Districts to taste something fresh with his football and try and to get AFL recruiters to step up and take notice, few things will do that as much as producing a Sandover Medal winning season. The 22-year-old Canberra native arrived at Swan Districts to settle into the midfield on the back of having spent a season in the AFL system with the Sydney Swans and more recently plying his trade in the VFL with the Northern Blues. He had been playing good football but not necessarily banging down the door for another AFL opportunity, so he made the bold move to head to Western Australia and play in the WAFL. Read More ...

LAST year's Dhara Kerr Medal win for Danika Pisconeri led to a chance to play in the AFL Women's competition and she feels she'd be even better the second year around, but if it wasn’t to happen she has a lot to weigh up considering how multi-talented she is. The Subiaco ruck was presented with the Dhara Kerr Medal at a glittering ceremony at Crown Ballroom on Tuesday night with Pisconeri earning three votes in each of the opening three matches of the 2020 Optus WAFL Women's Premiership Season. That would provide her with an unassailable lead as she backed up her Dhara Kerr Medal victory of 2019 when she shared the award with teammate and 2020 captain Hayley Miller. Read More ...
