TODD Curley savoured seeing his old AFL club the Western Bulldogs breakthrough for a premiership in 2016 and saw plenty that South Fremantle can now take from that heading into the 2017 WAFL season.

Curley is now entering his third season as South Fremantle coach and the growth has been obvious with a building year in 2015 and then in 2016 the Bulldogs finished the home and away season in second position, beat West Perth in a qualifying final and ended up playing three finals in their first September appearance since 2011.

He was happy with the growth of the group even if the finals losses to grand finalists Subiaco and Peel Thunder didn’t go to plan.

WHILE I had some personal milestones in 2016 to celebrate including my 100th game and breaking the games record as captain, all that I was focused on is getting this club back into the finals and it was a great effort for us to do so.

Season 2016 was a great ride for the club and especially for us as a playing group. We started really well winning our first five games, I feel this was due to the commitment and effort shown through the pre-season by everyone involved. We all came back prepared and hungry to compete and improve and were all on the same page at the start of our campaign.

We ticked along nicely as the season went on never leaving the top three sides and finishing up in second place on the ladder heading into the finals, a place we haven’t been a part of for quite some time. It was great to see the hard work put in over the summer was paying off and all worthwhile.
