Ever since 17-year-old Todd Shimmon donned the No. 19 jumper and booted three goals in his first appearance in the Claremont colts side, against South Fremantle at Claremont Oval in 1982, has he been a dedicated and passionate Tiger.

He has been a wonderful stalwart of the club in a variety of roles for 27 years and now all at Claremont bid him a fond farewell and wish him all the best in his move to East Fremantle as the chief executive officer of the Sharks.

He is accepting a new challenge in life with his customary enthusiasm after leaving an indelible mark at the club where he has served in the role of general manager and CEO for 14 years, a record term in the 89-year history of the club.

Luke Blackwell has capped a magnificent six-year career with Claremont by winning the E. B. Cook Medal as the club’s fairest-and-best league player in the 2014 season.

The champion centreman retires at the tender age of 27 as one of the all-time greats in the 89-year history of the Claremont club.

He now has won the fairest-and-best award four times to equal the feat of club legends Denis Marshall and Graham Moss.

Swan Districts produced a superior brand of team football and exerted greater pressure to emerge triumphant over Claremont in the grand final at Subiaco Oval on Sunday morning when the Tigers failed to take full advantage of the wind in the first and third quarters and were defeated by 20 points.

Emerging as a wonderful shining light in a losing cause was the youngest player on the ground, Claremont’s highly-talented 16-year-old Sam Petrevski-Seton, who delighted the sparse crowd with his dazzling skills in yet another wonderful display which reinforced his prospects of becoming a league star for Claremont and a champion in the AFL competition.

Dear Claremont member,

I am writing to you as a member and supporter of the Claremont Football Club, to seek your help in an important fundraising project.

As you are no doubt aware, the club faces financial constraints in the next couple of years during its redevelopment, with regular income streams being disrupted,  extra costs arising from playing at the Showgrounds and the requirements of the new facility.

Claremont (Reserves) will begin planning for 2015 after its season was ended by West Perth at Medibank Stadium last Sunday.

After a terrific win over East Fremantle a week earlier, the Tigers were unable to repeat the dose against an outstanding Falcons’ outfit who prevailed by 68 points, 18.8 (116) to 7.6 (48).

Just the one change was made heading into the match with Ethan Panizza replaced by Kaiden Gilbert after deciding to pursue an acting career in Sydney.

Dedicated defenders Harry McCracken and Matt Palfrey shrugged off leg injuries and emerged as heroes in Claremont’s thrilling one-point triumph over South Fremantle in a tense, hard-fought preliminary final at Leederville Oval on Sunday morning.

Claremont led throughout the contest and held on grimly to deny the Bulldogs the opportunity to appear in the grand final for the fourth year in a row.

Magnificent individual efforts by McCracken and Palfrey when the game was hanging in the balance were extremely significant contributions to the victory which guaranteed the Tigers a spot in the grand final against the high-flying Swan Districts side at Subiaco Oval next Sunday morning.
