Preview of the game by Ross Lewis from the Budget
Saturday March 31, HBF Arena
West Perth Claremont
Story so far: West Perth got to rest up for the start of the season
proper last week but had a narrow loss to Subiaco and a comfortable
victory over East Fremantle during the practice games.
Story so far: Claremont failed to notch a victory from its three preseason
matches although there were tight losses to Perth (nine
points) and Swan Districts (six points). There was a 59-point loss
to Peel.
Running hot: Shane Nelson won last year’s club champion award
and has continued to serve as an important on-and-off-field
role model to a batch of Falcons newcomers.
Running hot: The WAFL competition already knows Kane Mitchell’s ability and the Sandover
medallist warmed up for 2018 with 34 possessions last week.
Who is to come: East Perth (A),
South Fremantle (H), Swan Dists
(A), Perth (A).
Who is to come: East Fremantle
(H), Subiaco (A), South Fremantle
(H), Peel (A).
Last time they met: R23, 2017 – Claremont 10.14 (74) lost to West Perth
12.6 (80)
This result, decided by a controversial umpiring decision, ended
Claremont’s final hopes and thrust West Perth into the top five at the
right time. Nic Rodda and Andrew Strijk did the damage for the Falcons
while veteran Jake Murphy had 32 touches.
The key: Ryan Lim averaged 25 possessions a game for Claremont last
year and combined with the arrival of Tom Curren and return of Kane
Mitchell could become an even more damaging player for the Tigers in
2018. He had a solid pre-season campaign.
