Ken Caporn, the greatest full-back in the history of the Claremont Football Club, died on Wednesday at the age of 86.

As a mark of respect Claremont players in all grades will wear black armbands in matches against West Perth at Joondalup on Saturday.

Caporn made his senior debut in the under-age competition in 1943 and went on to play for the Tigers for 16 seasons, amassing a club record tally of 273 league matches. Read More [+]

Claremont will be looking to bounce back from their round one loss to Perth when they take on reigning premiers West Perth at Arena Joondalup this Saturday.

Like the Tigers, the Falcons had a disappointing start to their season when they lost to East Fremantle by three points.

The Tigers will be without vice-captain Trinity Handley after he suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to the Demons, while the Falcons could be without reigning Read More [+]

Nothing lasts for ever. Claremont’s complete dominance over Perth at Lathlain Park came to a shuddering, heart-wrenching end on Saturday afternoon when the Demons demolished an under-achieving and extremely disappointing Tigers combination.

A slick-moving and relentless Perth simply destroyed a feeble rival and romped to a highly-impressive 65-point victory, leaving the Tigers to lick their wounds and to regroup for the round 2 clash against reigning premiers West Perth at Joondalup next Saturday afternoon.

Claremont's Reserves (Development) Side has started its season in fine style after defeating Perth by 22 points at a blustery Brownes Stadium.

In tricky conditions, Keegan Knott and Jack Richardson led the way with four and three goals respectively, as the Tigers made the most of their opportunities to prevail 14.7 (91) to 9.15 (69).

The Tigers got off to the perfect start when Sam Lamont set up Jayden Brooks who kicked the first goal of Read More [+]

The silky skills on a wing displayed by teenager Max Bentley was one of the most enjoyable highlights of  Claremont’s practice match against Swan Districts at Bassendean Oval on Saturday.

The 18-year-old Bentley, who finished fourth in Claremont’s fairest-and-best award in the colts competition in 2013, is poised to make his mark in league football this year.

He has made a smooth transition from a half-back flanker and back-pocket player for much of last year Read More [+]

Standout performances from full-forward Matt Palfrey and midfielder Sam Humphry in Claremont’s final scratch match against Swan Districts at Bassendean Oval on Saturday morning had ardent supporters rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation of a successful season.

Swans fielded an outstanding side which defeated the Tigers by 41 points. However, there were many highly pleasing aspects from a Claremont viewpoint.

John Williams, used almost exclusively as a defender in his first season with Claremont in 2013, looks set for an important new role this year.

New coach Michael Broadbridge has used Williams in attack in the club’s interclub scratch matches against South Fremantle and Swan Districts, and the experiment has been highly successful.

Williams played at full-forward, on a half-forward flank and in a pocket against Swans at Bassendean Oval on Saturday and he excelled Read More [+]
