Full buy in by playing group key to Bulldogs' success

Monday, January 16, 2017 - 11:37 AM - by Chris Pike

TODD Curley savoured seeing his old AFL club the Western Bulldogs breakthrough for a premiership in 2016 and saw plenty that South Fremantle can now take from that heading into the 2017 WAFL season.

Curley is now entering his third season as South Fremantle coach and the growth has been obvious with a building year in 2015 and then in 2016 the Bulldogs finished the home and away season in second position, beat West Perth in a qualifying final and ended up playing three finals in their first September appearance since 2011.

He was happy with the growth of the group even if the finals losses to grand finalists Subiaco and Peel Thunder didn’t go to plan.

2016 Report – Record-breaking captain Ryan Cook

Friday, December 23, 2016 - 4:23 PM

WHILE I had some personal milestones in 2016 to celebrate including my 100th game and breaking the games record as captain, all that I was focused on is getting this club back into the finals and it was a great effort for us to do so.

Season 2016 was a great ride for the club and especially for us as a playing group. We started really well winning our first five games, I feel this was due to the commitment and effort shown through the pre-season by everyone involved. We all came back prepared and hungry to compete and improve and were all on the same page at the start of our campaign.

We ticked along nicely as the season went on never leaving the top three sides and finishing up in second place on the ladder heading into the finals, a place we haven’t been a part of for quite some time. It was great to see the hard work put in over the summer was paying off and all worthwhile.

2016 Report – Colts coach Mark Foster

Friday, December 23, 2016 - 4:20 PM

SEASON 2016 brought a year of change, with a host of personnel and structural changes made within the South Fremantle development academy. While improvement was seen there still remains plenty of room for improvement going forward. 

The colts program kicked off in mid-November with over 80 players invited to pre-season. Players were put through their paces from day one. Our overarching focus was a professional approach. Pre-season was gruelling but the playing group enjoyed plenty of fun along the way.

The camp bought the group together. It was evident early on that the players had bought into a 'team first' attitude. By March our list was narrowed down to 45, all whom have come from within our local and regional district. Dylan Brown was named captain and Boyd Woods vice-captain. Both boys did an outstanding job at leading the group all year.

2016 Report – League coach Todd Curley

Friday, December 23, 2016 - 4:04 PM

WE made a lot of improvements in a lot of areas during the 2016 season to go from winning eight games to 15, playing finals for the first time, playing three finals and winning one.

In that first final against West Perth, we were really good and then against Subi we were really good for two and-a-half quarters but it was just the last 15 minutes of the third quarter that let us down. Then we got jumped against Peel and fought our way back in to still be a chance early in the last quarter but couldn’t take our chances again.

Upon reflection we still have a pretty young group and we think it was a step in the right direction in 2016. The challenge now is to come prepared to work hard again and make it another year in 2017 where we reach finals first of all and give ourselves a chance.
