STEVEN Edwards has proven a great success story so far in his first season with South Fremantle and after having a family connection to the Bulldogs, he had a pull to join the club and he's glad he made the move after crying out for more opportunities at Claremont.

Edwards made his league debut with Claremont back in 2013 and after showing good signs in 2014 as a creative running half-back playing seven league games, he couldn’t crack it for a league appearance in 2015 despite some strong reserves form right throughout the year.

That left him wondering where his football future lied at the end of 2015 but when South Fremantle showed an interest, and with his grandfather a former player of the Bulldogs and the Collard family working to sell the club to him, it soon became his preferred choice.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the 41-point victory over Peel Thunder at Fremantle Community Bank Oval that keeps the Bulldogs on top of the WAFL ladder ahead of a clash with the bottom placed Swan Districts this Saturday.

QUESTION: You knew they would provide tough opposition but the way you were able to answer every time they challenged and then kick away with the last seven goals must have been pleasing?
ANSWER: I thought it was a big challenge for us. Clearly their numbers in contested ball and the hard ball, and clearances are pretty good so it was a big challenge. Obviously they have a few big bodies and AFL-experienced mids in there, and it's never easy to score against them. We hung in there and when the game opened up a bit late we were able to score, which was good.

But the Thunder answered back with the last three of the first half to trail by two points.

Then Peel kicked the first two of the last quarter to be back within two points after South Fremantle broke away by 15 points at three quarter-time, but it was the Bulldogs who had the last say with seven goals in the final 15 minutes to run away with the 16.11 (107) to 9.12 (66) victory.
