    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE WAFL $3.00 ROUND 8 SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 When Matt Riggio runs out for his 200th WAFL game this weekend, he will solidify himself as one of the greats of Swan Districts Football Club. A quiet achiever that gets the job done, the skipper of the Swans will become just the 20th player in the club’s illustrious history to reach the coveted milestone. Riggio began his WAFL journey at Peel Thunder with one game, before being selected by North Melbourne at Pick 28 in the 2005 AFL National Draft. After playing 10 AFL games in three seasons before being delisted by North Melbourne in 2009, Riggio returned to Western Australia and joined the Swan Districts Football Club at the peak of their powers. One year in, Riggio reached the ultimate goal, a Premiership. Alongside the likes of Andrew Krakouer, Stephen Coniglio and Ashley Hansen, Riggio lived out the boyhood dream of claiming a Premiership Medal. The game is remembered as one of the greatest WAFL Grand Finals of all-time, with Krakouer kicking a late goal to seal the Premiership by 1 point. Riggio never looked back from 2010, becoming a stalwart of the black and white army, claiming back-to- back Best & Fairest awards in 2015 and 2016. “To win the Club Best & Fairest in 2015 and again the next season is something I will hold dear to my heart,” Riggio told swandistrictsfc.com.au u Matt Riggio earlier this season.

  • The History of the South Fremantle Football Club
    The History of the South Fremantle Football Club South Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed The Bulldogs, is a semi-professional Australian Rules Football Club and one of nine clubs that compete in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). It was formed in 1900 and has its training, administration and home games at Fremantle Oval. History The Fremantle Football Club (originally known as Unions and unrelated to either an earlier club which actually played rugby as well, or the current AFL club of the same name) had won ten premierships in the fourteen years that they were in the WA Football Association (now known as the West Australian Football League). By 1899, however, the club suffered from financial problems that caused the club to disband. The South Fremantle Football Club was formed to take their place following an application to the league by Griff John, who would be appointed secretary of the new club, with Tom O'Beirne the inaugural president. Most players, however, were from the defunct Fremantle club. The new club did well in its first year, finishing runners-up. However, over the next three seasons the performance fell away badly and, in April 1904 a Fremantle newspaper confidently reported that South Fremantle would not appear again. However, the club decided to carry on and centreman Harry Hodge took over as skipper, but the season was a disaster. The club won only one game. They won their first premiership in 1916 and went back-to-back in 1917, both times defeating their local rivals, East Fremantle in the final and challenge final.
