SOUTH Fremantle is guaranteed of returning to the WAFL finals in 2016 and the man that has got them there, coach Todd Curley has re-signed with the Bulldogs for a further a two years keeping him at the helm until at least the end of 2018.

Curley took over as South Fremantle coach ahead of the 2015 season and now the Bulldogs are guaranteed of a finals position in 2016 currently sitting in second spot with a 12-5 record with three games remaining.

Curley has overseen the development of a young group with no player taking the field in 2016 older than 29 years of age so it is a team built for sustained a success starting with the Bulldogs' return to the finals this year for the first time since 2011.

SOUTH Fremantle delivered a scintillating second half with 13 goals to three in Carnarvon on Saturday to come from 31 points behind to beat Perth by 37 and further lock in second spot on the WAFL ladder.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Round 19 victory over East Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval to keep the Bulldogs in second position on the WAFL ladder. South Fremantle now takes on Perth this Saturday in Carnarvon.

QUESTION: The pressure was on at three quarter-time after they came back pretty hard in the third quarter. You had the breeze but still had to do the hard work and you would have pleased they did it?
ANSWER: It was probably pleasing that we got back to playing our way a bit. The first half was pretty good and at half-time we always knew that they were going to come out and respond, and they did. We lost our composure for a little bit but we finished off OK which was pleasing.

ANOTHER week closer to the business end of the season! We haven’t achieved the results that we wanted in either grade over the past three weeks and are hungry to get back into our groove. 

You typically talk about individual players who are in and out of form. You hear about players training hard, and working their way back into a rhythm.

Travis Cloke has probably been the most well-documented case of that this year. The same principle applies at the team level.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the Thursday night WAFL clash with Subiaco at Medibank Stadium and looking ahead to this Saturday's derby with East Fremantle at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.

QUESTION: You probably did a lot of things right after quarter-time but like against Claremont the last game, giving up the opening five goals was always going to make it tough?
ANSWER: It's probably the first 15 minutes that were the game when they kicked five goals. I thought we showed a bit of character after that and started to do some things we had trained and wanted to do, but when you have to come from behind you get tired late. But to their credit when they were challenged I thought they smashed us in the last quarter especially around the stoppages. We had a few young blokes in so there's a bit to learn from.
