Round 19 – East Fremantle v Subiaco Match Report

Monday, July 31, 2017 - 3:19 AM - by Chris Pike
SUBIACO cruised to a 16th straight WAFL victory this season opening an 80-point lead by three quarter-time and going on to beat East Fremantle by 61 points at East Fremantle Oval on Saturday.   East Fremantle had reason to think it could take it up to Subiaco after putting in a good showing in Round 10 and also being in reasonable form prior to the bye winning two of its past five games, and being strongly competitive in two of those other losses.   But Subiaco didn’t come into the contest feeling any sense of over-confidence starting strongly and opening up an 80-point lead by three quarter-time.

Round 19 Preview - Claremont v East Perth

Saturday, July 29, 2017 - 7:27 AM - by Chris Pike
CLAREMONT and East Perth both currently sit on the same records two games out of the top five clinging to finals hopes meaning that the winner on Saturday remains in the hunt and the loser falls all but out of contention. That sets the scene for a cracking contest at Claremont Oval on Saturday with both team's seasons virtually on the line.

Round 19 Preview - East Fremantle v Subiaco

Saturday, July 29, 2017 - 6:54 AM - by Chris Pike
EAST Fremantle is in its best patch of form of the season and is off the bottom of the WAFL ladder but the task ahead on Saturday is a sizeable one hosting the league-leading Subiaco on a 15-game winning run at East Fremantle Oval. Even though East Fremantle had the bye last weekend, the Sharks saw themselves move off the bottom of the ladder with Perth's percentage falling below theirs in the Demons' loss to West Perth. And having lost its opening 10 matches of the season, East Fremantle had won two of its past five matches prior to the bye last weekend so things are definitely on the improve since the horror start.
