THE West Perth Football Club is disappointed to announce that 2003 premiership player Kepler Bradley has accepted a player development role with the Claremont Football Club meaning his agreed upon return to the Falcons will not be happening.
Claremont offered Bradley a full-time position in its football department that he accepted despite being contracted to the Falcons.
The 2003 WAFL premiership player and 117-game AFL veteran with Essendon and Fremantle had signed on to return to his original club West Perth for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. His acceptance of a full-time position at Claremont has changed that.

THE West Perth Football Club has announced a profit in excess of $2000 for the 2014 WAFL season signifying a turnaround of almost $300,000 on 2013 in what is an outstanding result capitalising on the hard work of those at the Falcons and of the significant support provided.
West Perth president Brett Raponi has used his year-ending address to club members to call on the West Australian Football Commission to work harder to secure football's financial future.

WEST Perth premiership hero Darren Harris struggled to hold back the tears as he accepted life membership of the club at Wednesday night’s Annual General Meeting.
Harris fell short of the 150 league games required for him to be automatically awarded life membership during his memorable career with the Falcons, which stretched from 1992-1996 and saw him win a premiership medal, a Simpson Medal and a Breckler Medal.
But his successful return to the club as a premiership-winning coach in the early 2000s and his ongoing recruitment and promotional work led premiership team-mate Steve Trewhella to nominate him for life membership this year.

Whilst rapidly establishing his reputation in his own right, Len became known as “Jimmy Craig the Second”.
Len went on to play in the flag winning 1949 and 1951 premierships, Read More [+]

That includes Sandover Medal winner Aaron Black, dual Breckler Medallist Shane Nelson, premiership star Rohan Kerr, emerging key position player Marcus Adams and teenagers Will Michell, Tyson Moulton and Clinton Hinchcliffe.
