AS we just tick over the mid-way point of the season, it has been a very promising one thus far. I’m not sure how many people would have predicted us to have already notched up eight wins and to be sitting equal second on the ladder after 11 games.
It shows the great youth we have coming up through the development ranks and how well we have gelled after a large overhaul.
The last two weeks/losses have been disappointing to say the least though. Subiaco were just stronger and harder on the day and proved why they have been the benchmark of the competition for the last decade, whilst we felt like we dominated all the stats against the Eagles, we just failed to execute and get the reward for effort.

OUR 2019 NAIDOC jumper was designed by Ashley and Kelly Collard. Ashley is a lifelong South Fremantle supporter who grew up in the club’s backyard of White Gum Valley.
Ashley has fond memories of growing up following the greats during the 70’s and 80’s era. He did admit to Maurice Rioli being his favourite player, amongst a host of famous indigenous players during that period.

ONE South Fremantle player thriving on the increased opportunities in 2019 is Jacob Dragovich and the Bulldogs' leading ball winner this season is even happier with the way the team is performing heading into Saturday's top-of-the-table clash with Subiaco.
Dragovich came through the ranks impressively at colts level with South Fremantle including winning the fairest and best award in 2013 and finishing as runner-up in 2014 so it was always going to be a natural progression for him to become a league footballer.
And over the last four years in a variety of different roles, Dragovich has played some good league football for South Fremantle to the point where coming into 2019 he had 62 games already under his belt.

Dear Bulldogs family,
I wish to advise that I’ve accepted a role with the West Australian Football Commission in a Senior Executive position.
The role (Executive Manager – Country Football and Facilities) is a wonderful opportunity to follow a pathway within sports administration, overseeing the 25 WA Country Football Leagues along with the state wide Venues Facilities Strategy, and is part of the WAFC Executive team.

SOUTH Fremantle lost consecutive matches for the first time in 2019 with Saturday's defeat to the West Coast Eagles at Fremantle Community Bank Oval with the Bulldogs slipping from second position on the WAFL ladder in the process.
The Bulldogs' seven-game winning run came to an end the previous week with a 33-point defeat to Subiaco and they were unable to bounce back suffering a 21-point loss also on home turf to the Eagles on Saturday.
That means South Fremantle now sits in third position after Round 12 of the 2019 WAFL season but with a chance to reclaim second spot with a win this Saturday against Claremont at Claremont Oval.

SOUTH Fremantle takes on Claremont in the annual NAIDOC Round contest at Claremont Oval on Saturday looking to stop their losing slide at two and returning to second spot on the WAFL ladder.
While Claremont and South Fremantle started the NAIDOC Round tradition, right across the five matches in Round 13 of the 2019 Optus WAFL Premiership Season, all 10 competing teams will be wearing specially designed Aboriginal jumpers as part of the celebration of NAIDOC Week.
Having started in 2007 with Claremont and South Fremantle creating an annual traditional for meeting in NAIDOC Week and playing for the Jimmy Melbourne Cup, it has become one of the highlights of any WAFL season for the entire competition to take part in.

BROCK Higgins couldn’t have been happier to have made his home with South Fremantle and he couldn’t have possibly invested more into settling into life at the Bulldogs which is why now reaching 100 games with the club means so much to him.
Higgins has now played 130 WAFL games but Saturday will be his 100th with South Fremantle having started his career at East Perth and making those initial 30 appearances.
But it's at South Fremantle where Higgins has made his mark since arriving in 2014 and having been such a key part of developing the strong culture that has seen the Bulldogs reach three consecutive preliminary finals and currently sit second in 2019, getting to 100 games with the club means the world to him.

SOUTH Fremantle is back home at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday to host the West Coast Eagles with the Bulldogs determined to bounce back from last week's loss to maintain their hold on second position on the WAFL ladder.
The Bulldogs suffered just their second loss of the season last Saturday at the hands of Subiaco on the back of a seven-game winning streak, but with Claremont right on their hammer on the ladder, they do need to keep winning to maintain their hold on second position.
With the Eagles having no reserves or colts team, it means a bye for those South Fremantle teams and just the league side will be action in terms of the men's teams this weekend. Read More [+]
