WEST Perth was able to stage another terrific comeback in the last quarter on Sunday with three straight goals putting the Falcons in front, but this time it wasn’t quite enough with East Perth's West Coast teenager Tom Lamb kicking the winning goal at Medibank Stadium.

East Perth was on top of the contest for most of the afternoon and still led by 25 points early in the last quarter, but West Perth has made a habit of delivering stunning comebacks this season and delivered another.

The Falcons kicked the next three goals and that saw them hit the front when Michael Lourey booted his third of the day at the 22-minute mark, but the Royals continued to find a way to regain the lead they held for most of the game.

Eventually it was 18-year-old first-year West Coast draftee Lamb who came out to mark strongly, and kick truly for his fourth of the match as East Perth beat West Perth 10.12 (72) to 9.14 (68).

HAVING already played in a premiership, played State football and won a Sandover Medal, Aaron Black has crammed a career full of achievements into his first 99 games, but the West Perth midfielder is far from content as he prepares for his 100th match at just 22 years of age.

Black made his debut back in Round 16, 2010 and has come a long way from the small, tagging midfielder on that cold and wet night at Fremantle Oval as he played in a heavy West Perth defeat.

He has barely missed a match ever since making his debut as a 17-year-old and now ever since has put together a remarkable career that he deserves a lot of credit for with the hard work and dedication he has put in to continue improve his football in all areas.

WEST Perth led just about all afternoon until Swan Districts kicked the final two goals to win by two points at Steel Blue Oval and end the Falcons' four-game winning run on Saturday.

West Perth came into the game on the back of wins against South Fremantle, East Perth, Subiaco and Perth to be solid in second position on the WAFL ladder.

The Falcons did come into the clash with Swans without premiership players Matt Guadagnin, Jordan Jones, Rohan Kerr, Luke Tedesco and Andrew Strijk, so the depth was being tested but stood up to the challenge for most of the day at Bassendean.

West Perth kicked the first two goals of the game and maintained an advantage around that margin for most of the afternoon until Swan Districts got the last two goals to end up winning 9.11 (65) to 8.15 (63).
