After what has seemed like an eternity of an off-season, the 2016 McDonald’s WAFL Premiership Season is just a few days away with South Fremantle scheduled to take on West Perth at Fremantle Oval in the opening game of Round One.

Ethnic rivalries will be rekindled for a fourth year when the two sides clash for the Garlic Munchers Cup on Saturday March 19 at 2.10pm.

The match will be closely followed by a number of blockbuster clashes including East Perth and Claremont who battle it out at Medibank Stadium, East Fremantle and Swan Districts (ATOM Stadium), and Peel Thunder and Subiaco (Bendigo Bank Stadium).

Hear from each club’s CEO, Head Coach and Captain on how they are shaping up ahead of the first round of footy.
