PRICE IS RIGHT FOR CARDINALS

Monday, April 22, 2013 - 4:15 AM

By his initials it would seem that Wally Price was born to play with West Perth. In fact, he was born of £10 English immigrants at Margaret River in 1926.

Price was a back-pocket expert. Scrupulously fair, he nevertheless relished Read More [+]

Monday, April 22, 2013 - 12:00 AM

WEST Perth might have lost for the first time in 2013 against Claremont on Saturday at Claremont Oval, but there was plenty of like from the fight shown by the undermanned Falcons.

Thursday, April 18, 2013 - 9:49 AM

WE are excited by our start to the season, but we know that this week against Claremont is a huge test and we are going to have to be at our very best. Anything less than our very best will leave us vulnerable.
