WAFL Milestone | Kyal Horsley 200 Games

Friday, August 23, 2019 - 1:35 PM - by Chris Pike
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.

Friday, August 23, 2019 - 6:58 AM - by Chris Pike
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.
