Coach Post Match – Todd Curley Qualifying Final

Wednesday, September 5, 2018 - 3:37 PM - by Chris Pike

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the WAFL qualifying final victory over West Perth by 98 points that sets up a second semi-final contest this Sunday against Subiaco at Leederville Oval.

QUESTION: Up until midway through the second quarter it was a pretty tight game, how were you able to get on top and dominate the way you did?
ANSWER:
Not sure really. Our effort probably was more consistent, I'm not sure, but I thought we worked really hard early and just didn’t use the ball as well as we had the last few weeks in the first half. But we continued to hang in there and used the ball, and ran pretty hard after that.

Player Column – Cory Dell'Olio Qualifying Final

Friday, August 31, 2018 - 2:10 PM - by Cory Dell\'Olio

THE feeling is really good down at the club and amongst the boys at the moment leading into another finals campaign. Everyone is really excited to be a part of September again. 

I think besides Benny Saunders we have everyone available to play this week. That definitely hasn’t been the case all year and it has been a slow burn to get everyone on the park at the same time, but that has also been a benefit as we have given opportunities to plenty of young guys who have come in and played important roles for the team. 

I think it will be a really good game of footy. The two times we have played them this year they have been really close and we expect the same again on Saturday. West Perth have been very impressive this year and are strong across all lines. I think both teams will go into the game with confidence in their team.

Coach Post Match – Todd Curley Round 21

Thursday, August 30, 2018 - 1:04 PM - by Chris Pike

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 21 WAFL victory against East Fremantle and looking ahead to the start of the finals this Saturday against West Perth at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

QUESTION: It was a game in a lot of ways where you didn’t have a lot to gain but you would have taken a lot out of it in the end?
ANSWER:
We were really pleased with the way we played, with our intensity and I thought the way our guys attacked the game they worked really hard and got the rewards. It was great for another two debutants so it was good to have a look at those guys and some guys that have had a bit of a taste for league footy but not cemented their spots. They certainly played well and that puts us in a good position with just about everyone available which is what we want.

Coach Post Match – Todd Curley Round 20

Wednesday, August 22, 2018 - 9:51 PM - by Chris Pike

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 20 WAFL victory over Perth at Fremantle Community Bank Oval that locked away second position and a home qualifying final with one game of the 2018 season remaining.

QUESTION: That was a pretty comprehensive performance, you wouldn’t have found much not to like?
ANSWER:
We didn’t like big Higgo getting knocked out but aside from that I thought we were pretty consistent. It was probably our most complete performance for a while so we were really happy.

Q: What do you know about Higgins at this stage?
A:
I think he just has a laceration to his lip, or inside his lip, and I don’t think he passed the concussion test anyway. He should be alright. Structurally and everything I think his face is OK, it's more a flesh would albeit a significant one.
