Coach Post Match – Todd Curley Round 14

Thursday, July 12, 2018 - 10:24 AM - by Chris Pike

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Bulldogs' NAIDOC Round WAFL victory over Claremont at Fremantle Community Bank in what was Ryan Cook's 150th game.

QUESTION: It was hard work in the first half but I think you would have been especially pleased with some of the football you played in the second half to beat Claremont?
ANSWER: They've been going pretty well and obviously have quite a heralded midfield with a lot of good players in there, and they are pretty dangerous if you give them space. We were disappointed early but thought that certainly after quarter-time and especially after half-time that we played much better.

Q: It seemed to be a real grind for both teams in the first team, did you feel when it opened up a bit more in the second half that it suited you?
A: No doubt, I think they tried to close it down a bit and that's sort of the way they have been playing. They've been winning but not kicking huge scores, and defending pretty well. Even today they defended pretty well for most parts but I thought we were able to spread the ball much better in the second half and had a really even contribution. We didn’t have anyone getting super high numbers but we didn’t have anyone who was really low either.

NAIDOC Round Preview v Claremont

Saturday, July 7, 2018 - 9:16 AM - by Chris Pike

SOUTH Fremantle will look for just its third NAIDOC Week victory over Claremont this Saturday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval and to earn a measure of revenge for six weeks ago in what is also the 150th game for Ryan Cook.

South Fremantle and Claremont began the NAIDOC Week concept in the WAFL back in 2007 by playing off for the Jimmy Melbourne Cup and with both teams wearing specially designed Indigenous themed jumpers to mark the occasions.

They have continued to do it every year since and will clash for the 12th time in NAIDOC Week this Saturday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval in what is an important game for both clubs.

Earning life membership a proud honour for Cook

Saturday, July 7, 2018 - 8:20 AM - by Chris Pike

EVER since arriving at South Fremantle, Ryan Cook has been blown away by the history of the club and the Life Member functions every year have become his favourite event and now on Saturday against Claremont by reaching 150 games he earns his own life membership.

Cook threw himself fully into the culture of the South Fremantle Football Club as soon as he arrived in 2011 and while he had no idea of the legacy he would go on to build in the years ahead, he instantly knew it was the right move following his time with Collingwood in the AFL.

He made an immediate impact upon arrival at the Bulldogs too in that 2011 season going on to play State football and win the WJ Hughes Medal all as part of a team that reached the finals.

Player Column – Brock Higgins Round 14

Friday, July 6, 2018 - 10:08 AM - by Brock Higgins

COMING in after our bye, we always thought this next month of footy we have coming up would probably be our most critical for the season. We got East Perth and won that which is what we wanted, now we have Claremont, Subiaco and Peel. We see this block as setting up our season heading towards finals and then going on from there, so definitely in the context of the season it was a massive win.

Now coming into this week's game, that loss last time against Claremont has definitely been spoken about and we are looking to make amends. But they have been travelling really well and beating some good teams and etching out victories to get into the top five.

For me personally, it definitely gives me some added motivation losing last time just because I hate losing to teams, and especially when I feel like we are a stronger team. It eats at me a bit, but I can't speak for the rest of the boys.

Coach Post Match – Todd Curley Round 13

Thursday, July 5, 2018 - 4:19 PM - by Chris Pike

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 13 WAFL victory against East Perth at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

QUESTION: You started slowly and East Perth jumped you and could have been further ahead at quarter-time, but you managed to turn it around after that?
ANSWER: It was disappointing to start that way and we did look sluggish. Whether it was because we were coming off the bye I'm not sure, but they certainly missed a few chances they could have taken too even though they had some long shots and wide ones as well. We certainly don’t want to roll up and start like that every week, but we eventually got going and I thought in the second and third quarter we were pretty good. We probably weren’t at our best late.

SOUTH Fremantle delivered an impressive nine-goal second quarter to beat East Perth by 21 points at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday to further consolidate second position on the WAFL ladder.
 
The last time the two teams met was back in Round 7 coming out of the State game with both teams on four-game winning runs after each started the season with a loss to Subiaco.
 
But a lot had changed since with the Royals coming into Saturday's clash at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on a five-match losing streak while the Bulldogs remained in second position. Read More [+]

Round 13 Preview v East Perth

Saturday, June 30, 2018 - 7:36 AM - by Chris Pike

SOUTH Fremantle remains at Fremantle Community Bank Oval this Saturday following the bye to host an East Perth team on a five-game losing run but the Bulldogs need to keep winning to retain second position on the WAFL ladder.

South Fremantle and East Perth first played one another back in Round 7 this season straight out of the State game break and at that time, both teams were on impressive four-game winning streaks and were battling over second position on the ladder behind Subiaco.

The Bulldogs won that day by 68 points and have consolidated second position on the ladder since with a 7-3 record prior to last week's bye after a 35-point win at home against Peel Thunder.

Player Column – Dylan Main Round 13

Friday, June 29, 2018 - 7:12 PM - by Dylan Main

PERSONALLY, I was very honoured to be voted in as captain of South Fremantle, a team I have grown up barracking for my whole life and playing for since starting back in the development squads. 

After only being notified a couple of weeks before the vote that our longest serving captain, in Ryan Cook, would not be in the running for captaincy it all happened relatively quickly. 

Cook believed it was time for him to sit back and help nurture a new generation of leaders into the role and fortunately that meant I got the opportunity with Mason Shaw as vice-captain.
