WAFLW Round 15 Preview v South Fremantle

Friday, June 11, 2021 - 2:42 PM

SWAN Districts look to bounce back from their first loss of the WAFLW season and to gear up for next week's second semi-final against South Fremantle in the final game of the season on Sunday.

The final game of the home and away season in the WAFLW competition takes place on Sunday afternoon at Fremantle Community Bank Oval with a top against bottom contest.

Neither team can move from where they are with the winless South Fremantle playing host to a Swan Districts team who has already locked in the minor premiership even after suffering their first loss of the season last week.

Coming into this last game of the 2021 season, South Fremantle remains winless in their two seasons in the WAFLW competition and it would be quite the upset if they knocked off the minor premiers to change that come Sunday afternoon.

Swan Districts has already locked in top position and the minor premiership along with the rights to host next week's second semi-final against Peel Thunder with a Grand Final spot at stake.

Despite all of that locked in no matter what happens with Swans at Fremantle Community Bank Oval on Sunday, the black-and-whites will not under any circumstances want to head into the finals on the back of successive losses.

After winning their opening 13 matches of the 2021 WAFLW seasons after reaching the Grand Final of 2019 and first semi-final of 2020, Swan Districts fell to Peel Thunder by 21 points last week.

Swans will now be determined to bounce back and enter the finals on a winning note while it would be the ultimate high for South Fremantle to finish their second season in the competition by beating the minor premiership at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

From the Swan Districts team that lost to Peel last week, Nyra Anderson, Naomi Baker, Renee Holwill, Shannan Rene, Tara Stribley and Hope Ugle-Hayward come into the squad for Sunday's game.

Stephanie Cain, Melisha Hardy, Brianna Hyde, Emma Nanut, Bianca Webb and Danielle Wright go out for the Swans.

From the South Fremantle team that lost to East Fremantle in the derby last week, Nikita Hart, Nakita Little, Melissa Silcock and Kiara Templeman have been added to the squad.

The two teams first met this season back in Round 2 with Swan Districts winning 8.11 (59) to 1.0 (6) at Fremantle Community Bank Oval. They then met again in Round 9 and this time Swans beat the Bulldogs 6.2 (38) to 0.1 (1) at Steel Blue Oval.

Meanwhile in Round 15 of the Rogers Cup competition, South Fremantle takes on Swan Districts at Fremantle Community Bank Oval also on Sunday.
