THIS weekend saw the best set of three matches this Optus WAFL Women's Premiership Season and the end results were tight wins for Subiaco and East Fremantle, and South Fremantle putting in its most competitive performance. It was Round 5 of the 2020 WAFLW season and that means there are now just two weeks remaining in this shortened campaign before the finals series begins so every game is taking on extra significance all of a sudden. Now what it means after the way Round 5 played out, all of a sudden Subiaco is in prime position to claim a second consecutive minor premiership in the WAFLW competition. Read More ...

WE moved past the halfway mark of the 2020 Optus WAFL Premiership Season on Saturday with South Fremantle and West Perth moving further clear on top while Claremont maintained their spot and Subiaco showed they can't be counted out. We have just nine rounds to play this WAFL season with each team playing one another once and with a bye thrown in so the Round 5 mark means that some clubs have already played five of their eight matches, and things are beginning to take shape. We saw some significant winning streaks continue as well with South Fremantle winning an eight consecutive match against Swan Districts while West Perth also made it 18 in-a-row and are still unbeaten at Lathlain since 2004 following the Falcons' win against Perth.

THE desire for that elusive premiership is what ultimately is driving on versatile Claremont star Anton Hamp as he earns life membership with the Tigers this Saturday, but it's being that mentor for the younger players like he had he takes just as seriously. Hamp first started playing his football at Claremont when he first played in the 16s Development Team and going back 13 years ago, that is when then club legends like Jaxon Crabb and Anthony Jones showing the way at league level. Then a few years later when Hamp was trying to find his feet as a forward while rookie-listed by the West Coast Eagles, it was a superstar Claremont forward-line led by Chad Jones, Beau Maister (Wilkes), Tom Lee, Ian Richardson, Paul Medhurst and David Crawford he was trying to break into.

TO say that the strong desire for Tyler Keitel and the West Perth Football Club to become one back in 2015 has paid off in spades would be a great understatement as the WAFL's best key position player reaches 100 games this Saturday. Keitel was always a promising junior coming through the ranks at East Perth, but by the time he was ready to embark on senior football he wanted to do that with West Perth rather than the West Coast Eagles-aligned Royals and it created quite the stoush. The fierce on-field rivals turned bitter enemies off the ground for a while as the fight over Keitel's future became a hot topic, but in the end he was cleared to West Perth midway through the 2015 season and he has never looked back.
