SWAN Districts might be on a six-game losing streak but a win against East Fremantle at East Fremantle Oval on Saturday and the black-and-whites are right back in the finals hunt.
THE continued emergence of Jesse Turner into a quality WAFL midfielder remains one of the shining lights at Swan Districts the longer the 2018 season goes on.
SWAN Districts struggled to ever get going in wet conditions at Joondalup Arena on Saturday losing to West Perth but the black-and-whites remain in the WAFL finals hunt heading into a crucial clash with East Fremantle.
Rainbows are traditionally associated with unity and represent a bridge between places or people. No home game this season has had more attendees of diverse cultures and community sectors exchange friendly greetings, share jokes, offer assistance and perform acts of kindness than Swan Districts’ recent Count Me In match. So it was only natural for one to make an appearance, framing Steel Blue Oval with an impressive arc of colour and showcasing the grounds as the masterpiece of community spirit it was last Saturday.
Congratulations and good luck to Tristen Raynor and Patrick Italiano who make their league debuts tomorrow against West Perth.
ADAM Pickering never expected being a senior coach in the WAFL to be easy and a five-game losing run definitely is challenging, but he is learning plenty about himself and is up for the task of getting Swan Districts' season back on track.
Round 2 of the NAB AFLW Under 18 Championships was held in Queensland last weekend, which saw 8 Swan Districts girls pull on the WA colours; Rikki Ryan, Taylor Pescud, Mikayla Bowen, Emma O’Driscoll, Mikayla Hyde, Brianna Hyde, Caitlin Hill, Jessica Cox.
SWAN Districts' league side might currently be struggling on a current five-game losing streak but the fruits of the strong development program continues to shine with Sam Taylor named as this week's AFL Rising Star.
