Monday, July 1, 2013 - 12:39 PM

For the second week in a row West Perth refused to be beaten and as a result recorded a three point victory against Swan Districts at Steel Blue Oval on Saturday.

The Falcons worked hard to get back into the game after being jumped early, grab the lead and then refuse to be headed as the hard fought match went down to the wire. A masterstroke by League Coach, Bill Monaghan, was the move of Read More [+]

Thursday, June 27, 2013 - 1:12 PM

JORDAN Jones admittedly had trouble adjusting to life on and off the field in his first season at West Perth in 2012 but he is settled now in both aspects and the Falcons are reaping the rewards with him settling in defence and being one of the star performers so far this season.

Jones spent his first three years as a senior Read More [+]

A SPECIAL VICTORY

Monday, June 24, 2013 - 12:23 PM

West Perth pulled off a wonderful come from behind victory against Subiaco at the Arena Joondalup on Saturday.

It was a fitting end to a great day at which the 2003 Premiership side was recognised. It was amazing to watch the bond that exists between this group of players as a result of the 2003 victory and it will certainly give impetus to the 2013 team that showed a lot of those qualities in their Read More [+]

STRIJK BACK TO BEST IN OLD ROLE

Thursday, June 20, 2013 - 5:44 AM

ANDREW Strijk played some outstanding football off half-back to find himself drafted and now in his first season back from the West Coast Eagles he has resumed that role with great aplomb for West Perth.

Strijk made his WAFL debut with the Falcons back in 2006 originally as a wingman/half-forward with outstanding kicking skills. Those foot skills have remained, but it was Read More [+]

COME & SEE THE REAL THING - 2003 PREMIERSHIP HEROES

Thursday, June 20, 2013 - 1:33 AM

Years ending in a “3” have never been lucky for West Perth.

It started back in 1923 when the Cardinals missed out on a grand final by losing to East Perth in the semi-final by just nine points.

In 1933, they lost the preliminary final by four points. It cost the club the chance to win four in a row, given the premiership victories of 1932, 1934 and 1935.

Another sequence was broken in 1943. Read More [+]
