Round 6 – WAFLW
Friday, May 1 | 7:25PM
The Good Grocer Park

Friday night footy returns to The Good Grocer Park as our WAFLW side hosts Perth in an exciting Round 6 clash under lights.

With East Fremantle sitting at 2 wins and 2 losses through the opening month, this presents a big chance for the Sharks to climb the ladder and continue building momentum in what has already been a promising 2026 campaign.

CURRENT FORM

East Fremantle (2-2)

The Sharks have shown strong growth across the first four rounds, collecting two important wins while proving they can match it with some of the competition’s best sides.

Last Matches’ effort against East Perth showed grit, while earlier wins have highlighted the talent and depth developing across the squad.

East Fremantle currently average:

• 253 disposals per game
• 151 kicks
• 103 handballs
• 39 marks
• 5 goals per game

Those numbers reflect a side that works hard around the contest, uses handball chains well, and is continuing to improve its ball movement each week.

Perth (1-2-1)

Perth come into the contest with one win from Four matches and will be eager to cause an upset on the road.

Statistically, Perth are very similar to the Sharks this season:

• 254 disposals per game
• 158 kicks
• 95 handballs
• 60 marks
• 5 goals per game

This suggests a highly even contest, with Perth tending to mark the ball strongly and East Fremantle generating more run through handball and overlap play.

KEY AREAS TO WATCH

Midfield Pressure

Both sides average almost identical disposal numbers, meaning stoppage work and contested ball could decide the game.

Forward Efficiency

With both teams averaging five goals a game, whichever side converts their chances best inside 50 may take control.

Home Ground Advantage

Friday night at The Good Grocer Park brings atmosphere and energy. Expect the Sharks to feed off a strong home crowd.

ROGERS CUP PREVIEW

Friday, 5:05PM

Before the League clash, our Rogers Cup side takes centre stage in another important fixture.

The young Sharks have impressed so far this season and continue to build strongly, sitting among the early ladder contenders. Their energy, pressure, and ball movement have been standout features through the opening rounds.

Friday night is another opportunity to continue that momentum on home soil.
