SOUTH Fremantle ruckman Brock Higgins made a successful return from a calf injury in the reserves on Saturday and hopes to build on that in coming weeks to push for a comeback to the undefeated league side before too long.

Higgins cemented himself as the Bulldogs' No. 1 ruckman throughout the 2015 season in his second year with the Bulldogs since crossing from East Perth where he previously played 31 WAFL matches.

But his late pre-season campaign coming into 2016 was interrupted by a troublesome calf injury that he wasn’t able to shake until last week.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 5 WAFL victory by 98 points over Perth at Lathlain Park and looking ahead to this Saturday's Anzac Derby at ATOM Stadium.

QUESTION: You got off to a flying start again like you have all season but it must have been especially pleasing to finish off the way you did and win by almost 100 points?
ANSWER: It's probably more about the way we played I think. I thought it was a bit of an arm-wrestle for the first half of the first quarter, but we hung in there and absorbed their pressure, and were able to put scoreboard pressure on late in the first quarter. That allowed us to dictate the game, but I thought the boys were really good and it was an even performance.

OUR 2016 season has started exactly how we would have liked. As a club it is the perfect start and to have all three grades going three from three just shows we are headed in the right direction.

I believe there are a number of reasons why this is the case. The club has got great people involved with it from the board level to the players and coaches and our support staff. We have developed a one club culture where everyone feels like they belong which goes a long way to getting everyone working towards our goal of winning premierships.

We are into our second year under Coach Todd Curley and believe we understand his message and style now really well as a group and feel if we go through the processes that have been put in place by him and the other coaches and execute our style more than not we will be singing the song at the end of the game.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Bulldogs third straight victory to open the WAFL season last Friday night at Fremantle Community Bank Oval against East Perth.

QUESTION: Against a team desperate to win who has been a contender for a few years now, you must be happy to come away with a 40-point win?
ANSWER: I'm probably more happy with how we performed. It was perhaps a touch tardy at the start but I thought we really worked into it and our pressure lifted. When our pressure is at its best we can be a reasonable team.
