A win by the colts, with little input from EF two tall forwards in Williams and McMillan, both having quiet games from all accounts.....though usual high output numbers from the likes of Browne, Hagan, Warner and Woewodin......good to see the likes of McManus and Bartlett leading the way up forward.....also WP kicked the first two goals of the game.....then goal less till the last minute of the game.....good defensive effort by EF youngsters.....though 1.7 in the 3rd surely must be addressed over the week......can't afford to repeat that v the likes of SD, Cl and EP over the coming weeks, if the team hopes to go deep in the finals.....but a win is a win I guess....well done

Player ratings from the colts this weekend:

#31 Jackson McManus - great in the ruck, dominant up forward. Kicked goals when goals needed to be kicked. Was best on ground for the Sharks. 8.5
#4 Jed Hagan - timeless hard work off the back flank. Good use by foot, great reading of the play. 8
#18 Rory Williams - does the hard stuff so the good players can break on the outside. Doesn't stop putting his head over the footy and is a real team player. Will be great for the reserves next season. 7.5
#5 Corey Warner - the usual run and carry attacking game from Warner. Great kicking inside 50 to packs. His left boot is unreal - still is better playing on instinct than overthinking it. 7
#16 Kaleb Smith - used his raw pace and game sense to take the game on at every opportunity. Played on the far wing, was fantastic taking the game on into the corridor when there was a good option there. A lot to like about his game. 7
#15 Tom McGrath - had to hold Robis and Scaife well to make up for the poor attacking and kicking team game in the first half and did all day. Great defensive game from the very solid full back. 7
#26 Roc Hughes - did his job as a shutdown key defender despite being on the smaller side of his matchup. Complemented McGrath well, not afraid to get his hands dirty. 7
#7 Judd McVee - great reading of the footy off half back, great winning the footy at the contest when it was there to be won. Solid defensive effort. 7
#20 Josh Cripps - struggled in the ruck early against Farrow, but won some free kicks by holding his ground and using his strength. Big body was a plus and managed to start winning his own footy from the stoppages and get the ball going forward. 7
#28 Kale Paton - strong defensive game. Intercepted well, did some good stuff when the ball was to be won on the ground. 6.5
#6 Josh Browne - did his usual hard running up and down the ground all day. Tried to do too much too early, his first quarter and a half was a real struggle, worked into the game later when the Sharks broke away. Hitting targets on the run let him down. 6.5
#8 Taj Woewodin - played his linkman role from defensive 50 to attacking 50 well. Used his workrate to get around the ground and effortlessly beat his opponents into space. 6.5
#19 Richard Bartlett - has this uncanny ability to create 20m of space from nothing. Took 5 marks inside 50 (4 in the last quarter alone), and put the game to bed. Would be amazing to see how he'd be if he was a little bit fitter. 6.5
#1 Sam Emery - played on the opposite wing to Smith, did more outside running, loves a sprint down the wing. Great attacking mindset, lacks defensively but had more than enough teammates making up for his shortcomings. 6.5
#10 Luca Gangemi - thought he worked hard throughout the game and presented options. Tackled hard. 6
#3 Jack Johnston - there's nothing of this kid - 172cm/61kg, but works so hard. Clearly a natural footballer, always looking for his teammates, runs hard both ways. 6
#23 Jack Norrish - a bit of flair with a cracking contested mark on the near wing early in the 3rd term. Did his job well, forced a WP to run with him at all times. 6
#13 Ed Curley - won a lot of his own ground ball in the forward half. Disposal was poor, can't fault his pressure and effort. 6
#21 Samuel Otto - presented well and can be dangerous inside forward 50. Had 4 shots on goal but kicked only the 1 behind. 5
#9 Luke Yeo - pure defensive type role. Lacked composure by foot. 5
#11 Sam Collins - a rare lackluster game. Tried hard defensively, disposal was off. Back him in to up his game next week as a more senior body. 5
#24 Kobe McMillan - struggled all day, couldn't really work into the game even when thrown into the ruck. 4
#25 Jack Williams - the delivery to him was poor, but shouldn't have been playing after battling gastro all week. There are more than enough key forward options in the team that they'd send out a bloke who was clearly not even 50% fit. 2

Thanks for that, great reading......hopefully Williams J will be feeling better v EP this weekend....what's the go with McMillan? Just seems to have gone off the boil a bit since Cripps has found his mojo....are Baverstock and Cleaver injured? Would of thought those two were top 22 for EF finals chances?

That team is a joke. Boekhorst is nowhere near it. Honestly Jupp over Pegoraro too is just insane. Kitchin and Anderson haven't stepped foot out of the midfield all season. Strnadica should be in the starting ruck spot over Delahunty, who hasn't been Subiaco's #1 ruckman all year. No Sam Fisher either? Mental.

Northampton’s footy oval could echo with the sounds of a WAFL crowd next season as East Fremantle plan to bring a home game to the Mid West town.

Sharks president Mark Stewart said the club were planning a game in the first half of next season to support the community as it rebuilt after cyclone Seroja, and described football as a way of building communities.

“We’re looking to try and support the Northampton community,” Stewart said. “Sport is a connector within communities, and that’s not only when things are going well, but also when things are difficult.”


He said he had been to Northampton twice since the cyclone and praised the resilience of the town.

“What you are seeing is adversity and people coming together,” he said. “As difficult as it is, I believe people can come back stronger.”

Stewart said only one home game in the Mid West was planned so far. “We’d love to play another game if funding was available,” he said. “I think it shows how seriously we take country footy.” He said the planned redevelopment of East Fremantle Oval, which should transform the Sharks’ home ground into a sports precinct, was “exciting” for the club.

The planned home game would be another move by the footy community to support a town that has produced many of its stars.

Northampton was one of the hardest-hit areas by Seroja and rebuilding efforts are ongoing

Heard it might be wet on Sunday, so it may help EF undersized defence......Amiss didn't score last week v EF, he is roughly the same height as Bazzo......if J Williams fires at CHF/FF, Bazzo may need to go back to nullify him.....who knows...the wet weather will certainly help the small brigade on Emery, Hagan, R Williams, Jackson et al.....

Huge congrats to ex EF boys Jackson and Rivers last night.....both played their part.....Jackson was the catalyst in that 3rd quarter turn around for Melbourne, whilst Rivers was uncompromising and tough up back.....both young but definitely with big futures ahead of them.
