2016 WKFL V NPFL

 

Despite jumping out of the blocks early and setting up a 26 point lead at halftime, the WKFL was overrun by the NPFL in last Saturday's representative game held in Port Hedland.

Congratulations to all those involved with the WKFL side as you represented the broader West Kimberley with pride.

Graeme Hastie was quoted as saying, "It was a privilege to have been involved with such a wonderful group of young men. They represented the WKFL with great pride and respect."

We look forward to the next opportunity set for 2018 when the WKFL will host the NPFL.

2013 West Coast rookie pick 22 - Rowen Powell from Broome

 

 

22. Rowen Powell - Claremont (tall defender, 193cm, 83kg)

 

A tall versatile defender who can play both deep and high in defence. He is very consistent, good overhead, and very good one on one. Powell can run off his opponent as well and has shown reasonable endurance. Reads the play well and shows not only the ability to win the ball back, but also to run to space and create counter attack. He averaged 13 disposals on his way to playing in a Claremont colts premiership this year.
