Great start to the year!

It was a great come from behind win against Claremont on Friday. Although it was bitterly disappointing that a) there was a Good Friday AFL match in Perth b) West Coast hosted it c) Our match started so late and d) We hosted Claremont. This seriously impacted our gate takings, in years gone by its been about 5-6,000 people at the ground and we didn't even crack 2,000 on Friday.

In other good news Hille and Willcocks will be pushing for selection this weekend.

Go Royals!

Mighty Eagles, what most impressed me about our win over arch-nemesis Claremont was that after conceding four unanswered goals in the first half of the opening quarter, we only conceded four more goals for the rest of the game.
It's hard to see who will drop out to accommodate Shayne Hille and Kye Willcocks.
It will be a big challenge against the much-improved Perth at Lathlain on Saturday night.

It goes without saying that the boys in blue and black will give it their best shot, fuelled by the pain of defeat in 2025.
South is a very, very good side, but anything can happen on Grand Final day and we just need a bit of luck to go our way.
After losing their first five games of 2025, it's been a mighty effort by the reserves to come from the elimination final to reach the Grand Final.
