TOPIC:

By the look of things West Perth finish in fifth spot on the league ladder after the final qualifying fixtures. That means they compete in the elimination final next week. Which means the elimination final will be an Away game for them. Claremont & South Fremantle take each other on in the First Semi Final.
Got the fingers crossed West Perth can get the job done.

Think this is how the Finals work.

WAFL FINALS

Elimination Final. 4th v’s 5th And bye bye to loser of elimination
Qualifying Final. 2nd v’s 3rd

1st Semi Final. Winner Elim v’s loser Qual
2nd Semi Final. 1st v’s winner Qual, Winner of 2nd Semi advances to Grand Final

Preliminary Final Winner 1st Semi Final v Loser 2nd Semi Final

WAFL GRAND FINAL Winner 2nd Semi Final v Winner Preliminary Final

The QF at Fremantle Oval could go either way & I reckon West Perth will have a stacked AFL side to contend with in the Elimination Final

Got Souths pencilled in to win by about three goals in the Qualifying Final. If it was a Home game for Claremont it would be a different story. At Home I think the red and whites will have the edge. Claremonts offence rate is averaging out to a touch over 22 percent whilst South Fremantle are a bit higher at 25.7%. Apparently this match being played Saturday. Apparently the elimination final played Sunday for some reason?

The winner of the First Semi comes up against Subiaco in the Second Semi Final. If a fully fit South Fremantle get through, they'll give Subiaco a good shake, for sure.

Fantastic coverage of the Qualifying match by the SportFM commentators.
South Fremantle with a good lead at half time have secured the narrow win over Claremont. The Tigers tried hard in the second half but just couldn't get over the line. Claremont are out and Souths will now tackle Subiaco in the Second Semi.

Is that correct, wag?

I thought they would play the winner of tomorrow's WP v WCE game.

Oh no, I got that wrong, sorry Claremont fans! This final 5 stuff a bit confusing.

Loser of tomorrows match is out. With Claremont playing the winner of the elimination.

The Tigers averaging 36 points in the first half of their matches this season were well down early in the match. Conversely Souths only scoring 4 goals in the second half. Apparently Lee was out of the Claremonts side this afternoon. Hopefully he returns as he was sorely missed today. Whereas South Fremantle did enough to win. Hopefully they had no major injuries today and everyone fit for next week. Their match against Subi is going to be interesting.
