Over the July School holidays, three of East Fremantle’s Academy players Jeremy Sharp, Luke Dobson and Conor McPartland represented The State Schoolboys Championships in Maroochydore QLD.

This is a fantastic achievement by the boys and well deserved. Jeremy, Luke and Conor are outstanding footballers who joined the Academy in last year’s 14s Development squad.

Well done boys!

East Fremantle were unable to continue the winning run for the away team between derby rivals, as second place South Fremantle overran the Sharks to come away with a 30-point win at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday.

The Sharks had a strong start in the opening quarter, kicking the first two majors, but South were quick to respond, leading by a point at the first break.  

Coach Rob Wiley said the boys were unlucky with the breeze.

The stakes for the Fremantle Derby are as high as ever, with East Fremantle desperate for a win this Saturday at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

Sitting with a derby win each, the Sharks will be hoping to continue an improbable run for the away side, while South look to bounce back from a number of losses.

Last week’s win against the Swans was crucial, for the all-important 4 points and to instill some confidence back into the players.

Leadership was a key aspect of the Sharks winning formula against the Swans, with coach Rob Wiley acknowledging a number of senior players post-match, particularly those returning from injury.

The Sharks will be looking for repeat performances from both Liam Anthony and George Hampson following their return to form over the weekend.

Anthony played a key role in the midfield, finishing with 41 possessions and a goal, while Hampson spent time on the ball and at half forward kicking two goals and picking up 35 disposals.

Into the 25 this week comes James Harrold, Dion Anthony, Jack Perham and Dylan Winton after strong performances in the Development League, while Tyler Chalwell has been omitted. 

Team Selection

Sitting just outside the top five, the Sharks are aware that every game must be treated as a grand final rather than relying on results of other matches.

South Fremantle will be relieved following the WAFL Tribunal’s dismissal of a rough conduct charge against Ben Saunders, who is currently the league's leading goal kicker.

Ashton Hams, Blaine Johnson and Haiden Schloithe have also been named in the Bulldogs side.

Games for both the Colts and Development League certainly don’t get any easier with Sharks sides playing the second and third placed teams respectively.

The Colts, who are in good recent form winning their last three and a great win over the fourth placed Swans last week, should go in to this week’s match with confidence, knowing that another victory will continue East Fremantle’s push for a finals birth.

Adding to Sharks line-up this week are the possible inclusion of livewire forward Drew Blurton and the versatile Peter Delaney, whilst Jimmy Valentine is another possible. 

The Sharks will again require a consistent team performance over four quarters.  Whilst competitive against the Bulldogs in their previous two contests, lapses in concentration for periods of each game has cost our boys dearly, something that their opponents have been able to take advantage of.

The Development League, also coming off three consecutive wins of their own, have also fallen short in their two previous encounters with the Bulldogs, but like the Colts have shown they can certainly match it with them for the majority of the match. 

The Sharks recent form, on the back of solid defence and slicker ball movement, suggests this should be another cracking game of football.  East Fremantle now have more players playing well, more consistently and they will certainly require a strong contribution from all 23 again this week.

A win this week against the arch enemy would almost see the Sharks lock away their spot in the final five, which would be a super achievement for season 2016, after recording just the 6 wins last year.

A reminder that the Development League play after the League this Saturday, with bouncedown at 2:40pm.

The East Fremantle Sharks swept away Swan Districts on Saturday afternoon at Steel Blue Oval, winning at all levels and seeing the league side back to their winning ways.
Led by a prolific 41 disposal performance by Liam Anthony, the Sharks ran out 13.13 (91) to 11.7. (73) winners.
Swan Districts scored the opening goal, as they did in every quarter, but the Sharks soon found themselves in front the hard way with seven straight behinds, earning little reward after dominating the early proceedings.

East Fremantle's goal kicking woes were shot lived, with Liam Anthony, Brett Peake and Fraser Perry kick-starting the Sharks, taking a 15-point lead into quarter time.

East Fremantle take on Swan Districts this weekend at Steel Blue Oval in a must-win game to keep the Shark’s finals hopes alive.

Coming off four consecutive losses, the Sharks will need to work hard to stay in touch with the top 5, as Peel and East Perth cemented wins last week. 

This is only the second time these two teams have met this season, after East Fremantle came away with a 43-point win at home in round 1.
