IT was quite the exciting race to the finals in 2019 and now the battle for the WAFL premiership heats up this weekend with South Fremantle and Claremont having earned a double chance while it's do-or-die between the West Coast Eagles and West Perth. The make up of the final five wasn’t decided until Sunday evening after the last game of the 2019 Optus WAFL Premiership Season had been played. That saw the West Coast Eagles qualify for finals by winning that game against East Fremantle and breaking the hearts of all the Perth faithful with the Demons the team to miss out on finals action for the 22nd straight year having occupied a spot inside the top five all season long.

WITH such a hotly contested season, finals positions were always destined to come down to the last round in the WAFL and that's how it turned out with West Coast Eagles winning to eliminate Perth while there were Round 20 wins for Subiaco, South Fremantle, Claremont and Peel Thunder. All 10 teams in the WAFL this season have had their moments and even though Swan Districts, East Perth, East Fremantle and Peel Thunder were out of the finals race come Round 20, they had all been in contention at one point and were keen to finish their campaigns on a high. And Peel was able to do just that by beating Perth 12.12 (84) to 12.9 (81) at Mandurah's David Grays Arena to mean that the only way the Demons would still play finals was with a Sunday loss for the West Coast Eagles.

HE is the most decorated and inspirational player of his generation but the motivation is as strong as ever for Kyal Horsley ahead of his 200th WAFL game and with the freedom that has come from not being captain, he hits the milestone in as good a form as he's ever been in with Subiaco. It's remarkable to look back now to 2007 when Horsley lost his place in the Subiaco team from the preliminary final win over South Fremantle to Grand Final against Claremont in an era at the Lions of remarkably decorated players from Aidan Parker to Darren Rumble to Allistair Pickett to Brad Smith to Luke Newick to Chad Cossom and the list goes on and on. It would have been a stretch to think Horsley, the boy from Kalgoorlie, would go on to become the most decorated player of this era of dominance from Subiaco, but that's exactly what has happened and there's no signs of slowing down as he now approaches his 200th game.

EAST Fremantle's WAFLW and Fremantle AFLW star Evie Gooch is looking forward to the upcoming finals campaign with the Sharks in a highly competitive competition but she is just as excited by the young stars coming through in Western Australia. Gooch has been a key part of East Fremantle's WAFLW line-up in this inaugural season of the five-team competition and now with one round to go, the Sharks can finish in second position on the ladder provided they beat Claremont at Claremont Oval this Saturday morning. While that's far from a guarantee with Claremont also sitting on a 6-5 record this season like East Fremantle and the Tigers have a chance to climb to third spot themselves, Gooch is looking forward to what lies ahead both on Saturday and in the finals.
