IT TOOK almost five years of strong WAFL football with South Fremantle for Paul Duffield to prove that he could be a regular AFL player but he now certainly has done that as he prepares for game No. 150 with the Dockers this Saturday against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.

Duffield grew up in West Arthur before making the move for high school where he went to Aquinas and found his footballing feet before lobbing at the Bulldogs and ending up making his league debut in 2004 in his first year on Fremantle's rookie-list.

He played 14 matches that season with the Bulldogs including the first semi-final loss to Swan Districts and remained a key player in South Fremantle's team across half-back in the 2005 premiership winning side.

GROWING up with football has taught me a lot of different values in life, starting out in 'nippers' on a frost covered oval in Williams at 8am on a Saturday morning to the present and becoming a senior player at the proud WAFL club in South Fremantle. The journey in between has been a hell of a lot of fun, but has also shaped the way life is for me today. 

Growing up in Williams, 160km South East of Perth, was where l learnt how to kick, mark and even occasionally handball. Williams has a great small town community who are right into their sport whether it be footy, cricket, hockey, netball or golf. It has a rich history in all sports and country weeks and for such a small town the success that it has had completing against such bigger regional towns is a testament to those who are passionate and led the way for the younger generation.

SOUTH Fremantle's colts side recorded its first win since Round 12 on Saturday against an in-form Perth outfit looking for a sixth straight victory. A scrappy first half and countless mistakes marred the contest as both sides struggled early. The come from behind win enabled the South Fremantle team to hold on to its second place on the ladder. With all the luck, and run of play early, the Demons looked to have the better Read More [+]

SOUTH Fremantle overcame the absence of its captain and two of its most important players, and fought back from coughing up the lead in the last quarter to beat Perth by 12 points on Saturday at Lathlain Park to win the Cable-Michael Cup for the first time.

South Fremantle came into the game without captain Ryan Cook, dual premiership star Ashton Hams and 85-gamer Adam Guglielmana following the previous week's loss to Claremont with the Bulldogs also on a six-game losing streak.

However, Perth was also on a seven-match losing run of its own coming into Saturday's contest with not only the Cable-Michael Cup on the line, but the winner to also move clear of being in contention of the wooden spoon for 2014.

South Fremantle led at every change of the game by one-point at quarter-time, seven points at half-time, 17 points at three quarter-time and then the margin got out to four goals during the final term but the match had one more twist to take.

Perth went on to kick four straight goals during the fourth quarter to suddenly take the lead and have all the momentum, but South Fremantle again found a way to steady and kick the game's last two goals thanks to Craig White and Paul Mugambwa to secure the 13.11 (89) to 10.17 (77).

PERTH and South Fremantle have plenty in common heading into Saturday's clash at Lathlain Park with the Cable-Michael Cup on the line named in honour of WA football legends Barry Cable and Stephen Michael.

The Demons and Bulldogs are now on a combined 13-match losing streak as well, both are on identical 3-10 records and desperate to avoid the wooden spoon and are also without a senior coach for 2015 right now with Trevor Williams in charge of Perth for the rest of 2014 and Paul Hasleby seeing out the season with the Bulldogs.

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.

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).

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.
