HE has won three Bernie Naylor Medals already in his 86-game career with South Fremantle and Ben Saunders again showed his remarkable talents kicking six goals to win the Simpson Medal in the WAFL's historic state game victory over the VFL.

Saunders might not have been able to cement a spot in a supremely strong Claremont team back in 2010 and 2011. He had managed just five senior games for eight goals but in 18 reserves matches in 2011, he kicked 68 goals.

He without question had the potential to be a star in the WAFL, it was just opportunity that he was after.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say reflecting on a one-point loss to East Perth on the back of a defeat to Subiaco and looking ahead to the WA Day Foundation Derby with East Fremantle following the state game break.

QUESTION: What is your reaction to that one-point loss to East Perth now that you've had some time to reflect?
ANSWER: I think we were the better team for the majority of the day, and we were a lot better than we were the week before. There was a lot to like and it got to a stage really with 20 minutes to go and they were four goals down they had to sort of take few chances and run the gauntlet a bit. A couple of them came off, and then they were right back in the game. To be honest we didn’t do a lot wrong in those last two stoppage goals they got. They had a bit of luck with one and then the other one’s a 50-50 call on whether it’s a free kick or not and which way it goes, but that’s footy.

THE WAFL State Team made history in Melbourne on Saturday beating the VFL by 63 points with Ben Saunders, Tim Kelly, Haiden Schloithe and Ryan Cook all outstanding from South Fremantle.

It is a first ever victory for any WA team in Melbourne and the four Bulldogs players were all among the best players in the contest.

South Fremantle's goal machine Ben Saunders took home the Simpson Medal after kicking six goals from 16 possessions and eight marks. As if six goals weren’t enough, he could have easily reached double-figures had he converted some of his seven behinds.

SOUTH Fremantle coach Todd Curley was there last time the WAFL played the VFL in Melbourne and now he would take great pride if four Bulldogs stars help Western Australia create history against Victoria on Saturday.

Curley himself enjoyed his chances to represent WA during his distinguished playing career and he was also an assistant coach to Ashley Prescott when the WAFL last played the VFL in Melbourne back in 2007.

While that wasn’t a day to remember with Victoria beating WA by 119 points, it was also the 24th straight time that the Big V has beaten the Black Swans on home turf in Melbourne.

THE one-point loss on the weekend to East Perth was a tough pill to swallow. Compounding the frustration of ‘so close, yet so far’ is the fact that we now wait for two weeks for an opportunity to get back on the winners list.

Our video review revealed some good stuff, and some stuff to work on over the state bye. We’ll train this week without Ryan Cook, Tim Kelly, Ben Saunders and Haiden Schloithe as they go off to represent WA against Victoria.

We’re super proud of all the boys that made the initial squad, as well as the four that got in.

RYAN Cook, Tim Kelly, Ben Saunders and Haiden Schloithe will all represent the WAFL for at least a second time on Saturday up against the VFL at Melbourne's North Port Oval.

The WAFL State Team will take on the VFL at North Port Oval on Saturday attempting to become the first ever WA side to beat Victoria in Melbourne in history.

Cook, Kelly and Saunders all played in last year's win by Western Australia by a record margin of 134 points over Tasmania at Steel Blue Oval.

SOUTH Fremantle couldn’t quite hold on to a seemingly match-winning lead against East Perth at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday.

South Fremantle looked on track for its seventh win of the season and to bounce back from a loss to Subiaco a week earlier having kicked the only three goals of the third quarter and then leading by 22 points when Cory Dell'Olio booted his third to start the last term.

But East Perth showed terrific fighting spirit and ended up kicking the last four goals of the game, and then scored the winning point when a Drew Petrie shot was rushed through.

That was enough for the Royals to come away with a 10.11 (71) to 10.10 (70) victory.

SOUTH Fremantle returns to Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday to take on East Perth with the Bulldogs out to bounce back from last week's loss to Subiaco heading into the state game break.

South Fremantle might have given up top spot on the WAFL ladder with a 39-point loss to Subiaco last Saturday, but it has still been a strong start to the 2017 season for the Bulldogs.

Going into the break for next week's state game with a 7-2 record would mark an impressive first half of 2017 for the Bulldogs but the Royals will take some beating.
