EAST Fremantle is now hosting its third first semi-final in the last five years this Sunday against Swan Districts with coach Steve Malaxos seeing no reason why the Sharks can't end up going all the way for the first time since 1998 – the same year he retired as a player. After making the finals in 2002 and losing the first semi-final to West Perth, East Fremantle suffered its worst ever run without a finals appearance until 2010 which saw the Sharks host their first ever home final and now this Sunday it will be their third in five years at the newly named ATOM Stadium. In 2010, East Fremantle narrowly lost to East Perth in front of almost 7000 fans and then in 2012 the opponent was the Royals again with over 3500 fans watching the Sharks win their first final since 2000 on their way to a grand final appearance against Claremont.
