PRE-season training at South Fremantle has commenced this week with the Bulldogs looking to build on the momentum created in 2016 when they returned to the WAFL finals for the first time since 2011.

Following four years out of the finals mix, South Fremantle put together a tremendous 2016 campaign ending the home and away season in second position before beating West Perth in a qualifying final and going down to Peel Thunder in the preliminary final.

SOUTH Fremantle Football Club Chief Executive Officer Stuart Kemp has called time on his successful career for the Bulldogs, leaving the organisation in great shape as it targets continuous improvement in the future.

With the Bulldogs now turning a regular profit, winning the coveted Rodriguez Shield ‘for the most amount of wins across all grades by a WAFL club’, he feels it’s the perfect time to move on.

Kemp emphasised the club had been very good to him, but it was the right time for someone else to steer the ship.
