Colts Report - Round 15

Wednesday, July 9, 2014 - 9:14 AM - by Arthur Maskos

ANOTHER slow start has seen the South Fremantle's colts go down by 36 points to Claremont at the Showground on Saturday morning. The home side were able to keep the Bulldogs goalless for the second time in two weeks in the first quarter.

The lack of intensity shown at the beginning of games has hurt the colts side as they have failed to reel in the opposition for three consecutive weeks.

The pressure to perform over the coming weeks has risen as the squad must now produce some wins to retain second position on the ladder.

Spirited Bulldogs fall short of Tigers at Showground

Monday, July 7, 2014 - 5:30 AM - by Chris Pike

SOUTH Fremantle played at the Claremont Showground for the first time since 1926 on Saturday to celebrate NAIDOC Round in the WAFL, but ended up being overrun in the final quarter with Claremont recording a 22-point victory.

Claremont is calling the Showground venue its temporary home while Claremont Oval is being redeveloped with South Fremantle heading there for the first time since 1926.

The Bulldogs had lost their opening three matches in 1926 at the Showground to East Perth, Perth and West Perth but then recorded a 41-point win over Claremont in Round 13 meaning they headed into Saturday's clash having never lost to the Tigers at the venue.

It took 18 minutes for the first goal of the game to come and South Fremantle got the first through Haiden Schloithe but that would be the Bulldogs' only lead of the afternoon.

South Fremantle did claw back to trail by the solitary point at three quarter-time but with some injury concerns and lack of numbers and rotations on the bench for the Bulldogs, Claremont kicked four goals to one in the final quarter to win 12.13 (85) to 9.9 (63).

Googs' Gabble – Adam Guglielmana Column Round 15

Friday, July 4, 2014 - 6:56 PM - by Adam Guglielmana

IF ONE thing is certain at a WAFL football club, it is 'nothing is certain'. Change is a common occurrence, players come and go, the game plan is tinkered with, loyal members pass away, and topically, coaches move on. Over the recent past though, there has been one constant at South Fremantle in the form of a stumpy red headed centreman who this week plays his 100th game.

NAIDOC Round Preview v Claremont

Friday, July 4, 2014 - 4:31 PM - by Chris Pike

SOUTH Fremantle heads to the Claremont Showground on Saturday looking to snap a five-game WAFL losing streak, win in a celebration of NAIDOC Round and to also commemorate Toby Bairstow reaching his 100th game milestone.

South Fremantle and Claremont initiated the WAFL's NAIDOC Round celebration beginning with their annual match dating back to 2007, and now the clubs with perhaps the strongest Indigenous heritage in Australia do battle at the Claremont Showground for just the second time in history.

Only one win might separate Claremont and South Fremantle on the WAFL ladder coming into the contest with the Tigers in sixth position with a 4-8 win-loss record and the Bulldogs on 3-9 in eighth, but the teams are currently in vastly different form.

South Fremantle begins search for new coach in 2015

Thursday, July 3, 2014 - 6:03 PM - by Chris Pike

THE South Fremantle Football Club would like to announce that the club's senior coach Paul Hasleby has informed the board that he is not seeking a contract renewal beyond the end of the 2014 WAFL season.

Hasleby's time in charge of South Fremantle will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2014 season after he took over at the helm in 2012 on the back on an outstanding AFL playing career with the Fremantle Dockers, and then a season with South Fremantle in the WAFL.

Hasleby tonight informed the entire club of his decision to not seek a new contract at the end of this his third season in charge as he addressed the board members, staff and players. He cited a desire to look at other interests as a major factor in his decision.

Bairstow excited to reach 100 games with Bulldogs

Wednesday, July 2, 2014 - 11:57 PM - by Chris Pike

SOUTH Fremantle has added motivation to return to the winner's list this Saturday when Toby Bairstow's rollercoaster WAFL journey reaches a high point as he plays his 100th match with the Bulldogs to book his name on the No. 4 locker at Fremantle Oval.

It hasn’t always been a smooth ride to 100 games for the 25-year-old since he graduated through the colts and reserves at South Fremantle after coming up from Bunbury to go and make his league debut in Round 6, 2008.

He played 16 games in the premiership year of 2009 including kicking in the winning goal in an incredible Anzac Day derby against East Fremantle and playing well in the second semi-final win over Subiaco, but he and Hayden North made way for Jeff Farmer and Peter Bell in the grand final.

Colts Report – Round 14

Tuesday, July 1, 2014 - 1:13 PM - by Arthur Maskos

The South Fremantle colts let another opportunity slip on Sunday beaten by a valiant West Perth side by two points.

The boys’ endeavours shown in the closing stages came far too late in the game as victory had already slipped from our grasp earlier in the day. West Perth took the initiative as the home side’s lack of intensity gave up too many opportunities in the early going.

Bulldogs no match for Falcons in battle for Garlic Munchers Cup

Monday, June 30, 2014 - 6:24 AM - by Chris Pike

SOUTH Fremantle started strongly with an encouraging first quarter but couldn’t keep it going against West Perth losing by 62 points at Fremantle Oval on Sunday.

It was an encouraging start for the Bulldogs with Brendan Verrier kicking a goal inside the game's first minute and then leading by as much as 12 points during that opening term where they kicked six goals.

The problem was that West Perth also managed six goals with scores tied at quarter-time with South Fremantle then managing just the four goals for the rest of the match while West Perth piled on 13 to end up winning 19.19 (133) to 10.11 (71).
