SOUTH Fremantle returns to Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday hosting East Fremantle looking to end a three-game losing run and win at home over the Sharks for the first time since 2011 to maintain second spot on the WAFL ladder.

The third and final derby of 2016 takes place at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Saturday with South Fremantle needing to win to hold on to second position, and East Fremantle having to win to avoid slipping further from the top five.

The game bounces down at 11.40am and will be broadcast live on 7mate.

While the Sharks did win last week over Swan Districts, neither team enters Saturday's derby with the Uittenbroek-Ciccotosto Cup up for grabs in good form.

ANOTHER week closer to the business end of the season! We haven’t achieved the results that we wanted in either grade over the past three weeks and are hungry to get back into our groove. 

You typically talk about individual players who are in and out of form. You hear about players training hard, and working their way back into a rhythm.

Travis Cloke has probably been the most well-documented case of that this year. The same principle applies at the team level.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Thursday night WAFL clash with Subiaco at Medibank Stadium and looking ahead to this Saturday's derby with East Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

QUESTION: You probably did a lot of things right after quarter-time but like against Claremont the last game, giving up the opening five goals was always going to make it tough?
ANSWER: It's probably the first 15 minutes that were the game when they kicked five goals. I thought we showed a bit of character after that and started to do some things we had trained and wanted to do, but when you have to come from behind you get tired late. But to their credit when they were challenged I thought they smashed us in the last quarter especially around the stoppages. We had a few young blokes in so there's a bit to learn from.

SOUTH Fremantle again made a slow start and couldn’t come from behind to win falling to Subiaco by 11 points in Thursday night WAFL action at Medibank Stadium.

After conceding the opening six goals against Claremont two weeks ago prior to the bye, South Fremantle again gave up the first five on Thursday night in 16 minutes against Subiaco and it proved a mountain to high to hold on to the lead once the Bulldogs worked so hard to claim it.

Wet, cold and windy conditions greeted Thursday night WAFL football as the top two teams put in a hard fought contest at Medibank Stadium to open Round 18 that saw Subiaco prevail over South Fremantle by 11 points to move two games clear in first place.

Subiaco started on fire with five goals in the opening 16 minutes of the game and while South Fremantle fought back to lead briefly during both the second and third quarters, the Lions responded to dominate the final quarter to end up winning 10.9 (69) to 9.4 (58).

SOUTH Fremantle regains some important players after the bye battling for top spot against Subiaco on Thursday night at Medibank Stadium and looking to stop a two-game losing run.

The WAFL minor premiership could go a long way to being decided in a Thursday night blockbuster at Medibank Stadium to open Round 18 with Subiaco hosting South Fremantle.

The clash will be broadcast both live on 7mate and 91.3 SportFM from 7pm and there will be plenty on the line between the two teams that have opened up a gap as the top sides in the WAFL so far in 2016.

I WAS blown away when Paul Hasleby first told me I would be captain of the South Fremantle Football Club back in 2012 given I had only been here for one year especially when we still had a lot of good leaders like Craig White, Toby McGrath and Paul Mugambwa.

I hadn’t put much thought into who it would be after Jaymie Graham left and it took me aback a little bit when I found out, but I accepted it and took it on. I was proud of the honour then just as I still am now.

SOUTH FREMANTLE'S Ryan Cook will become the Bulldogs' longest ever serving captain this Thursday night against Subiaco but what he wants more than anything is to get some form back to build towards his team's first finals appearance since 2011.

Cook will captain South Fremantle for an 86th time this Thursday night against Subiaco at Medibank Stadium that will see him surpass the current captaincy record at the Bulldogs he shares with 1997 premiership co-captain Peter Worsfold.

Considering South Fremantle has been captained by the likes of Clive Lewington, Steve Marsh, Frank Treasure, John Todd, Hassa Mann, Brian Ciccotosto, Noel Carter, Brad Collard, Marty Atkins, David Gault and Toby McGrath, it's quite an achievement for Cook to not have been captain for the most number of games.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the NAIDOC Round loss to Claremont at Fremantle Community Bank Oval ahead of a bye this week and then a Thursday night clash with the league-leading Subiaco at Medibank Stadium.

QUESTION: Those conditions always create a bit of the unknown and it's usually the team that competes harder for longer, and that takes their chances that wins. And that's what Claremont did?
ANSWER: The disappointing thing is that we were outworked and they were certainly harder than us in the first quarter. To give up six goals in those conditions make it a long way back.
