1979, May 28, West Australian, story and photo headlined ” Claremont have come of age” The decision by Claremont Captain Coach Graham Moss to remain at centre half forward in the third quarter of the match against East Fremantle on Saturday paved the way for his side to come of age. Moss beaten pointless by Doug Green in the first half, sparked his sides fightback in the third quarter. This victory has destroyed the hoodoo that East Fremantle had over them. The Claremont pace was typified by the Krakouer brothers, Jim and Phil who cut loose with devastating effect in this period. centreman Lindsay Kanther, flanker Brad Reynolds and rover Norm Solomons were three of the better players. For sheer brilliance no one could match Ken Hunter who reached great heights as a player.
Second story that Tigers smash hoodoo and have set sights on the final. The stars of the day are listed as Ken Hunter who had a magnificent game at centre half back. Robert Vickers-Willis played a tremendous game in a forward pocket where he kicked a stack of goals. Mark Carlon where he played at full back and defeated a number of opponents.
