SOUTH Fremantle's colts are one step away from a fourth straight WAFL grand final after coming from behind to beat East Perth in Sunday's first semi-final at Medibank Stadium.

South Fremantle's colts have played in the last three grand finals for premiership wins in 2011 and 2012, and now have the chance to win through to another after booking a preliminary final berth with a win over East Perth on Sunday.

Despite trailing by two goals at half-time, South Fremantle kicked eight goals to three in the second half to end up winning 11.10 (76) to 8.7 (55).

SOUTH Fremantle's colts were able to put together a scrappy win over their tough East Perth opponents in Sunday's first semi-final at Medibank Stadium. South Fremantle’s good start was wasted as the Royals took advantage of some undisciplined acts in the second term and found themselves two goals up at half-time.

SOUTH Fremantle's colts begin its quest for a fourth straight WAFL grand final when the Bulldogs take on East Perth in a cut-throat first semi-final at Medibank Stadium this Sunday morning.

South Fremantle's colts won premierships in 2011 and 2012 before again making the grand final in 2013 and falling just short of a hat-trick of flags by going down to Claremont.

Things haven’t completely gone the Bulldogs' colts way in 2014 with a combination of key players moving on, others being injured, State duties and then in the second half of the season a host of players moving up to play reserves and league football with South Fremantle.

HAIDEN Schloithe has been recognised for his outstanding season on return from Fremantle's AFL list with the South Fremantle Football Club awarding him the WJ Hughes Medal as its fairest and best winner for the 2014 WAFL season.

The WJ Hughes Medal night for 2014 was held on Friday in the Griff John Function Centre at Fremantle Oval and was a time to acknowledge the efforts of senior coach Paul Hasleby over the past three seasons and to look forward to a strong future that he has helped set up for incoming coach Todd Curley.

South Fremantle might have missed finals for the third straight season, but there were terrific signs with five straight wins to close out the season and with each and every player featured on the fairest and best leaderboard committed to being with the club in 2015, the future looks bright.

Round 23 saw the best of the colts side for 2014. With most of the side playing together for the first time this year it was pleasing to see them perform as a side that belongs in the upcoming finals series. Most the players had the benefit of playing together previously last season and during their time on Warriors development duties. It can only be described as seamless as they gelled to show a balance Read More [+]

THERE is obviously a number of things I'm weighing up at the moment in regards to whether I play on or not next year. The way we are finishing the season with this momentum gives you a bit more motivation to think that something special might just be around the corner, and when you've been at the club for 10 or 11 years it is probably easy to go again.

I think the hard decision would be to pull the pin and I'm weighing up work commitments, wedding commitments and things like that next year off the field as well as my form, the new coach and what his vision is and what he sees my role being if he sees one for me at all. There's then also the pull from the playing group and not wanting to leave a young group who might not have enough leaders to guide them. Those are all the things I have to weigh up in the next few weeks.

ADAM Guglielmana is not getting too carried away with South Fremantle's strong finish to the 2014 WAFL season knowing that it means nothing unless built on next year and it is that level-headedness that could very well see him a future captain of the Bulldogs.

Following last Friday night's win over Subiaco at Fremantle Oval, South Fremantle has now won four straight matches heading into this Saturday's final round clash with Peel Thunder also at the port.

In those four wins over the past month, the Bulldogs have beaten the second-placed Subiaco, third-placed East Fremantle and fourth-placed Swan Districts, but that came on the back of South Fremantle losing six straight matches between Rounds 9 and 15.
