WEST Perth’s strong 2019 season which saw them reach a preliminary final in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) Colts competition this year resulted in the Falcons having a competition-high five players in the Team of the Year. The Falcons had one more than East Fremantle and minor premiers, Peel Thunder, while East Perth had just three. Claremont, the side that bundled West Perth out of the finals series had just two players, the same amount as Subiaco, while Perth, Swan Districts and South Fremantle had the one player each.
West Perth’s Jack Clarke Medalist – best and fairest for the competition – Koopah Todd led the five-player contingent in the side, joined by Heath Chapman, Ben Johnson and Jaxson Prior in defence, and Tyron Hindmarsh making the interchange. Peel Thunder’s James Ewing holds down full-back, joined in the team by teammates, leading goalkicker Ben Middleton, as well as Jack Sears and Jackson Knight.
East Fremantle’s quartet of players is lead by potential first round draft picks, Luke Jackson and Trent Rivers, while fellow draft prospects, Chad Warner and Jai Jackson were also rewarded after strong seasons. Claremont’s Grand Final side features duo Jye Clark and Callum Jamieson, while East Perth trio of Jamie Marinoni, Sebit Kukek and Adam Boules all made the Team of the Year.
To round out the team is Subiaco duo, Abraham Clinch and Ben Golding, Perth’s Simon Hayward, Swan District’s Kade Wallrodt, and South Fremantle’s Manfred Kelly.
