SOUTH Fremantle survived a scare against the bottom placed Swan Districts at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday but the Bulldogs kicked away late to win by 35 points and lock away a top two WAFL finish.

Despite a slow start with Swan Districts kicking the opening two goals in the Bulldogs' last home game of the regular season on Saturday, South Fremantle was on top of the contest for most of the afternoon.

But inaccurate kicking denied the Bulldogs the chance to put Swans away despite leading by as much as 37 points during the third quarter.

The black-and-whites never gave up and did close to within seven points early in the last term, but South Fremantle responded to kick the game's last four goals and win 14.21 (105) to 11.4 (70).

SOUTH Fremantle returns to Fremantle Community Bank Oval for the final home regular season game on Saturday to take on the wooden spoon bound Swan Districts ahead of the Bulldogs' first finals appearance since 2011.

South Fremantle beat Perth by 37 points after trailing by 31 just before half-time last Saturday in Carnarvon and that victory saw the Bulldogs lock away a top two finish with West Perth also losing to Subiaco.

But the Bulldogs could still finish on top of the ladder by winning their remaining three games against Swan Districts, East Perth and Perth, if Subiaco lose its last two also against East Perth and Peel Thunder.

That might remain an outside chance of happening, but South Fremantle will want to ensure being in top form of entering a first finals appearance in five years.

SOUTH Fremantle is guaranteed of returning to the WAFL finals in 2016 and the man that has got them there, coach Todd Curley has re-signed with the Bulldogs for a further a two years keeping him at the helm until at least the end of 2018.

Curley took over as South Fremantle coach ahead of the 2015 season and now the Bulldogs are guaranteed of a finals position in 2016 currently sitting in second spot with a 12-5 record with three games remaining.

Curley has overseen the development of a young group with no player taking the field in 2016 older than 29 years of age so it is a team built for sustained a success starting with the Bulldogs' return to the finals this year for the first time since 2011.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 19 victory over East Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval to keep the Bulldogs in second position on the WAFL ladder. South Fremantle now takes on Perth this Saturday in Carnarvon.

QUESTION: The pressure was on at three quarter-time after they came back pretty hard in the third quarter. You had the breeze but still had to do the hard work and you would have pleased they did it?
ANSWER: It was probably pleasing that we got back to playing our way a bit. The first half was pretty good and at half-time we always knew that they were going to come out and respond, and they did. We lost our composure for a little bit but we finished off OK which was pleasing.
