Swadling wins the Dominish | WPFC F&B Awards 2025

SAM SWADLING has finished off the stellar year with winning the Dominish Medal at the West Perth Fairest & Best event last Friday.

The 2025 Dominish Medal & Futures Awards Night was held on Friday, October 17, at the West Perth Football Club Function Room, celebrating the outstanding performances and contributions from our talented young players, coaches, and volunteers.

It was Sam Swadling who took home the club’s highest Colts honour, being crowned the 2025 Dominish Medallist.
An unreal achievement from Swads, who featured in just seven home-and-away Colts games this season while also representing Western Australia in the U18 National Championships, and making his League debut, where he appeared in four senior matches.

Congratulations, Swads — a massive year and a well-deserved honour!

Rounding out the top performers, Cooper Bewick, Amon Ross, and Judd Marcello finished as joint runners-up, while Aven Drewett and Jacob Farrow tied for third place.
