As East Fremantle’s junior district continues to go from strength to strength, the club has developed a new scheme aimed at assisting the progress of its senior community clubs.
A common problem among such clubs is the retention of players from East Fremantle’s much lauded junior system, with many young participants lost to the game altogether in their teenage years.
But East Fremantle District Manager Troy Kirkham says the Sharks’ district development team is working with several local clubs to assist the smooth transition of players between junior and senior ranks.
“We’re trying to engage with the amateur clubs more and more, particularly in terms of transition programs,” Kirkham said.

Collingwood’s Brad Dick is the NAB AFL Rising Star Nominee for Round 11. Brad - who has returned this year from a full knee reconstruction - booted five goals against Melbourne at the MCG on Monday June 8, helping Collingwood to a strong 66-point win.
The 20-year old has booted nine goals in his past three matches and is averaging 14 disposals, four tackles and two goals across his five games this season.
He made his AFL debut in 2007 playing six matches, before returning to the VFL. He suffered a season ending knee injury during the 2008 pre season.
Recruited from East Fremantle, Brad was Collingwood’s third round selection (pick 44 overall) at the 2006 NAB AFL Draft.
