Versaci has ball on a string for Sharks during thumping victory

Inspirational East Fremantle stalwart Larissa Versaci led from the front during East Fremantle’s 12.16 (88) to 1.0 (6) win over West Perth on Sunday at New Choice Homes Park. Versaci (27 disposals, six marks, six tackles) showed no mercy against the Falcons, with her experience and quality decision-making aiding the Sharks during yet another convincing performance. The only sour element of East Fremantle’s victory was a head knock to Busselton product Beth Beckett, who went to hospital after the game as a precautionary measure. Due to concussion protocols, Beckett — who finished with a season-high 21 disposals and five tackles — will miss Sunday’s derby against South Fremantle. Peel Thunder’s hopes of a historic WAFLW three-peat took a slight hit on Sunday, after Swan Districts rolled to an impressive 7.8 (50) to 5.3 (33) win at Steel Blue Oval. Leading at the last change, Adam Dancey’s side managed to control general play during the final term, particularly at stoppages. Bunbury’s Sophie Proudfoot, who routinely plays up forward while on SWFL duty, also enjoyed some time in the ruck. Several SWFL-based players lined up for the black and whites, including Ruby Mahony (Bunbury), Proudfoot (Bunbury), Bethany Bond (South Bunbury), Charli Wicksteed (South Bunbury and Demi Liddle (Busselton).
