SOUTH Fremantle has held on for a thrilling two-point victory over Swan Districts at Fremantle Oval on Saturday to improve to fourth position on the WAFL ladder on the day the 1970, 1980 and 2005 premierships were celebrated.

South Fremantle came into the contests following losses on the road to the top two teams, Subiaco and West Perth, so needed to bounce back and the Bulldogs did so winning a thriller by two points at Fremantle Oval, 12.10 (82) to 12.8 (80).

It was a memorable and important win for South Fremantle with the Bulldogs claiming the John Todd Cup and also winning in front of the 1970, 1980 and 2005 premiership teams who were having their 45, 35 and 10-year reunions on the day.

BANTER at football clubs is a given, and is something us players enjoy besides playing games itself. That is one of the best things about a football team; there is an eclectic range of people with different personalities, backgrounds, cultures, attitudes, jobs and careers.

This creates opportunities for banter between the boys at the club over a variety of things; one being what each does to make a crust. We have a range of tradies, real estate agents, accountants, a bicycle technician, personal trainers and students, just to name a few. 

Leaving high school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in regards to working and having a career. The popular dream of winning the lotto always was in the back of the mind but I knew I had to be more realistic. I decided to head to university and study exercise and sports science as it was a broad degree with many different pathways.

SOUTH Fremantle was unable to celebrate Adam Guglielmana's 100th WAFL match with a win on Saturday while also missing out on regaining the Garlic Munchers Cup and consolidating a spot in the top five further in the 15-point loss at the hands of West Perth at HBF Arena.

South Fremantle had won its last four visits to HBF Arena and had beaten the Falcons impressively in Round 1 so had every reason to head into Saturday's clash for the Garlic Munchers Cup full of confidence despite coming off a loss at the hands of Subiaco the previous week.

And South Fremantle put together a strong first half with scores tied at half-time with the second placed West Perth, and despite the Bulldogs staying in touch during the second half, the Falcons did appear in control of the contest and ended up winning 9.17 (71) to 8.8 (56).
