Round 15 Match Report – Swan Districts v East Perth
Monday, July 16, 2018 - 4:49 PM by Chris Pike
EAST Perth returned to the winner's list in emphatic style on Saturday beating Swan Districts by 61 points at Steel Blue Oval to be back in the WAFL top five as a result as well.
Swan Districts and East Perth both did battle at Steel Blue Oval with both teams on significant losing runs but with the knowledge that the winner would take a significant step towards taking part in the finals in the WAFL in 2018.
Swans had lost four matches in-a-row since beating East Perth in Leederville Oval back in Round 8 and then Perth a week later while the Royals hadn’t tasted victory since prior to the State game break, losing six games in succession after being 4-1 at that stage.
So the stakes were high coming into Saturday's clash at Bassendean and it was the Royals who made the impressive statement with a dominant performance.
East Perth kicked seven goals to two in the first quarter and still led by 32 points at half-time. They kicked another six goals to nil in the third quarter on the way to the emphatic 18.7 (115) to 8.6 (54) win.
The victory improves East Perth to fifth position on the ladder with a 5-7 record while Swan Districts has now lost five in-a-row to be 5-8 and now sit outside a finals spot.
East Perth had been struggling to kick goals and while Liam Ryan and Jack Petruccelle aren’t exactly key, tall targets in attack, they did make a significant difference kicking three goals apiece in the win against Swan Districts.
Will Maginness and Brendon Ah Chee both kicked two goals as well with Hamish Brayshaw terrific with 25 disposals, seven tackles and two goals.
Dom Sheed continued to bang the door down for an AFL call up to West Coast with another 37 possessions for East Perth while Patrick McGinnity finished with 25 disposals (eight tackles), Mitch Dobson 23, Shayne Hille 20, Luke Partington 20 and Matthew Allen 20.
The Royals back-line was strong led by Jackson Nelson who finished with 25 possessions, eight marks and four tackles while Nathan Vardy put in a strong showing in the ruck with 16 disposals, 66 hit outs and a goal.
Matthew Rogers and Corey Gault kicked two goals apiece for Swan Districts with Gault also having 16 disposals, eight hit outs and seven marks.
Jesse Turner continued his good form for Swans with another 29 possessions while Matt Riggio had it 26 times, Tobe Watson 24, Freddie Clutterbuck 21, Rhys Palmer 20 and Steven Payne 19.
Tony Notte battled hard against the odds for 19 possessions, six tackles, four marks and a goal.
Todd Banfield also announced that it would be the 65th and last WAFL game of his career at Swan Districts. He had 10 disposals in his final appearance.
East Perth was coming off the bye and with the combination of wanting to end a six-game losing run and players trying to impress for West Coast, the Royals started brightly with the opening two goals thanks to Jack Petruccelle and Luke Partington.
Swan Districts did get on the board at the 10-minute mark with a goal to big man Corey Gault. But the Royals were on song and responded quickly with two goals to Josh Rotham and Nathan Blee before Swans did manage to add a second from William Reidy.
East Perth finished the opening term with goals to Will Maginness and then two to Liam Ryan, though, to have seven on the board by quarter-time to hold a 31-point advantage.
It was then just two goals apiece in the second quarter with the conditions at their most challenging as they would be for the afternoon with East Perth entering the main break up by 32 points.
The Royals were anything but done from there with the visitors piling on six unanswered goals in the third quarter thanks to Petruccelle, Brendon Ah Chee, Nathan Vardy, Dom Sheed, Maginness and then Hamish Brayshaw to hold a dominant 72-point lead by three quarter-time.
Swan Districts did come out and kick three quick goals to Adam Faulkner, Matthew Rogers and Tony Notte to start the last quarter, but it mattered little with East Perth cruising to the 61-point win to see them replace Swans in the top five following 15 rounds of the 2018 season.
Swan Districts' reserves pulled off another nail-biting victory for the second time in three weeks recovering from a goalless opening quarter to end up beating East Perth by a point.
East Perth's reserves started strongly kicking the only four goals of the first quarter and the Royals were still in control leading by 18 points at half-time and still 18 at the last change.
But in the final term it was all Swan Districts with the home team kicking the only three goals to end up winning 9.8 (62) to 8.13 (61).
Steven Wityk kicked three goals from seven kicks and four marks for Swan Districts with Taryce Stewart also kicking two goals.
Ethan Maguire racked up 22 possessions for Swans, Mitchell Bain 19, Josh Cipro 18, Albert Dean 18 (nine tackles), Patrick Italiano 17 (eight tackles) and Jarrod Cameron 17.
East Perth had eight individual goal scorers while Ben Miller picked up 24 possessions, Matt Young 22, Tarir Bayok 22, Nelson Waite 20, Will Young 19, Mitch Fraser 19, Nathan Arbon 18 and Christian Ameduri 18.
Swan Districts will now attempt to snap its five-game losing slide this Saturday against a refreshed third placed West Perth at Joondalup Arena with the Falcons coming off the bye and a win against East Fremantle.
East Perth faces another crucial battle with the sixth placed Claremont at Claremont Oval on Saturday in another contest that could go a long way to determining which team ends up playing finals in 2018.
