THE West Perth Football Club has continued to make significant progress in putting together a strong line-up for the 2015 WAFL season with premiership stars Rohan Kerr, Jordan Jones and Steven Browne among the key players to re-sign for at least one year.

On the back of the announcement that 2003 premiership player and 117-game AFL veteran big man Kepler Bradley and VFL centre half-forward Michael Lourey signing on, West Perth is also delighted to announce the re-signing of a host of key players.

Bradley and Lourey have both committed to the West Perth Football Club for the 2015 and 2016 WAFL seasons after signing two-year contracts as has 2013 premiership star Rohan Kerr.

Congratulations to Dean Bartlett who won first prize in the 2014 Major Raffle, drawn at the Breckler Medal earlier this month.

Dean attended his first ever WAFL game, joining us at our Round 19 pre-match President’s Luncheon, where he purchased his lucky raffle ticket.

Originally from the UK, Dean has been in Australia for nine years and is looking forward to meeting his daughter (who still resides in the UK) in Rome after many years apart.

The West Perth Football Club Djinda Falcons training is now going all the way through to the Nicky Winmar Cup Football Carnival, to be held over the long weekend in March in Mandurah (full details will be advertised online in due course). 

We are now recruiting indigenous boys aged 10 to 16 who live in the West Perth district to play in Read More [+]

WEST Perth's big men stocks for the 2015 WAFL season have been significantly boosted with the signing of VFL centre half-forward Michael Lourey and the return of premiership star Kepler Bradley.

With Lourey to settle a spot in the forward-line and Bradley able to play forward, back or in the ruck, it gives West Perth plenty of options with its big men in 2015 with Marcus Adams and Nick Rodda proven young key position players at either end along with Chris Keunen and Seva Martin in the ruck.

Following the retirements of champion pair Dan Hunt and Anthony Tsalikis, West Perth was on the hunt for some more key position players and now that is exactly what Lourey and Bradley provide to coach Bill Monaghan.

STAR West Perth midfielder Shane Nelson has claimed his second Breckler Medal as the Falcons' fairest and best player taking out the award on his own in 2014 narrowly winning ahead of Jay van Berlo, Laine Rasmussen and Sandover Medallist Aaron Black.

The 21-year-old on-baller had another outstanding season with West Perth and was presented with his second straight Breckler Medal at Joondalup's HBF Arena on Friday night.

Despite his averaging 31.1 possessions a game throughout the year as the WAFL's leading ball winner, it was a tight fairest and best vote count for the 2014 season.

Nelson finished on 114 votes to be only one ahead of co-captain van Berlo and the emerging Rasmussen who both finished on 113 votes as runner's-up. Sandover Medal winner Black finished in third-place on 108 votes.

The West Perth Football Club is very fortunate to have the services of three fantastic photographers –Matt Beilken, Belinda Taylor and Dan White – who work tirelessly to capture images throughout the season. Their images can be viewed on our Photo Gallery and Facebook.

Often in terrible conditions such as the weekend's grand final and the Medibank Stadium mud bath against East Perth, their commitment to the Falcons is unwavering.

THE conditions were terrible but the result was terrific at Patersons Stadium on Sunday. West Perth's reserves won their first premiership in 54 years outslogging Subiaco. It was a tight contest all day with goals at a premium but a five-minute burst by the Falcons in the last quarter set up the victory. The league premiership last year was enjoyed by all but it would be fair to say that this premiership almost brought as much joy to the coaches, players and supporters.

WEST Perth kicked the only three goals of the final quarter to beat Subiaco by 14 points in the WAFL reserves grand final to end a drought that stretches way back to 1960.

The Falcons had not won a reserves premiership since 1960 and lost last year's grand final to South Fremantle, but finished the stronger over the minor premiers Subiaco on Sunday at Patersons Stadium to come away with the victory.

Subiaco had finished the season clear on top of the reserves ladder and had a massive percentage while scoring a thumping second semi-final win also over West Perth, but the Falcons finished the better in the wet conditions of the grand final.

WEST Perth has already had a tremendous week with Aaron Black winning the Sandover Medal and Aidan Lynch the Prendergast Medal, and now the Falcons' reserves have a chance at its first premiership since 1960.

West Perth takes on Subiaco in the reserves grand final at Patersons Stadium with the Falcons in their second straight reserves decider, and desperate for a first flag since 1960.

Subiaco put together a dominant season in the reserves winning 18 of its 20 matches during the home and away season with a five-game and percentage advantage over the rest of the competition.
