PERSONALLY it’s been another year with some ups and downs throughout. After my return from injury in 2017, I was optimistic that this year might be more successful for not only myself but the team, to go that one step further. 

After getting in a full pre-season, I set a little goal to play league in Round 1, something I had never achieved throughout my career. I was lucky enough to be selected, and all things were positive, until an ankle injury in Round 2. 

This kept me once again on the sidelines for an extended amount of time. At first, those thoughts run through your mind, can I keep doing this, maybe my body is telling me this is enough. After a fair bit of reflection, to me, 10 weeks seemed doable compared to other injuries I’ve had in the past.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 19 WAFL victory over Swan Districts at Steel Blue Oval and looking ahead to the final two weeks of the home and away season ahead of a third straight finals campaign.

QUESTION: That was hard work for a half but once you got going in the second half, you were able to come away with a pretty solid win?
ANSWER: It was the tale of the two halves probably. The first half wasn’t great and then the second half was really good. There's some more stuff for us to learn and our second half was pretty good with a few challenges along the way with personnel. But we finished off really well and that was the positive.

Q: Your midfield again got on top and when you the likes of Hockey, Cook and Suban leading the way like that you aren't going to get beaten in that area too often?
A: We were probably on top around the stoppages even early for the first half but just quick kicked a lot and gave it back to them. I thought we fixed that up at half-time and had some guys who were down in the first half that lifted. Some of our bigger guys had very little impact on the game in the first half but in the second half they were able to have an impact in the contest. That certainly helped us.
