FIVE weeks ago South Fremantle's season was looking shaky, but they have now won four straight games impressively entering a third straight WAFL finals campaign with virtually a squad to pick from aside from triple Bernie Naylor Medallist Ben Saunders.

TWO years ago Tyler Keitel and Andrew Strijk were part of a solid West Perth defensive unit but in 2018 they have been the most potent forward duo in the WAFL and as a result are sharing the Bernie Naylor Medal as the league's leading goalkicker. In a competition where increasingly teams share their goals around and don't have one main forward target, the number of goals kicked for a season by individuals might be down but in the case of West Perth, the combination of Keitel and Strijk has worked a treat in 2018.
