South Fremantle was 29 points down just before quarter-time. That was the bad news. From there the Bulldogs dominated Perth at Fremantle Community Bank Oval to cruise to a thumping 110-point victory on Sunday.

Perth was coming off its worst half football of the season last week going from 23 points up against East Fremantle at half-time to end up losing to the previously winless Sharks by 58 points.

That was an East Fremantle team that had lost to South Fremantle by 145 points as well on WA Day so the signs were ominous coming into the clash on Sunday for the Demons at the port.

IT was a really important win up in Joondalup for us last week against West Perth. After a loss the week before we really set ourselves up with a solid week on the track and it showed with a good performance against a quality side who had been in good form for a number of weeks. 

The last month has been very interesting to say the least. We played both AFL aligned sides and unfortunately come up short by minimal margins to both. Could look at both games and make reasons for that but the biggest thing is we did lose and weren’t good enough for periods of the game which cost us and it’s something we need to get better with for the second half of the season.

The derby and last week against West Perth were both really solid performances which were nice to have but looking back on the last month, even one game further back when we played Subiaco we haven’t been consistent for long enough and the games we have dropped I believe have stung the boys quite a bit. I think it’s a good lesson to learn through the middle part of the year.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say after the 47-point win over West Perth at HBF Arena to consolidate second spot and looking ahead to this Sunday against Perth at Fremantle Community Bank Oval. 

QUESTION: Must have been happy with a big win in a game where you needed to bounce back in?
ANSWER: I thought we were pretty good early especially in the first half when our pressure was probably back to its best. I thought we used the ball really well as well. It was a pretty even performance but the second half was a bit patchy. But most of the work had been done at half-time. 

Q: Any idea why you seem to play so well up at Joondalup as a team?
A: It’s a fantastic ground. We certainly play well here now and it’s always pleasing when we do.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 12 WAFL loss to Peel Thunder and this Saturday's crucial clash with West Perth at HBF Arena.

QUESTION: What's your response to that loss Todd?
ANSWER: I'm super disappointed. In the first half we were totally outplayed, you can’t play a half of footy and expect to get the result you’re after.

Q: You gave yourselves a chance late, but being 46 points down you probably didn’t really deserve it?
A: You can’t play as poorly as we did in the first half and expect to win a game. There were some good signs in the second half but we’re pretty disappointed in the first half.

IT is fair to say last week was an interesting one for us as a team and two games within five days couldn’t have turned out too much different after our big win in the derby and then a disappointing loss to Peel on Saturday.

We obviously couldn’t have been too much happier with the way things went in the derby. It's the biggest win I've been part of and to do it on such a big day of the season in front of a good crowd was something that was very enjoyable for us all.

But we knew we had to back up quickly on Saturday against Peel and that couldn’t have turned out much more different for us. We had kicked 10 goals in the first quarter in the derby, but Peel kicked five against us in the first quarter on Saturday and 10 for the first half to be pretty much eight goals in front. We did fight back and gave ourselves a chance late in the game when we got scores level, but then we just seemed to stop again and that was disappointing.
