2003, July 19th, West Australian Newspaper, Story and photo under “Matson fits into Tigers star line up.” Photo of Claremont defender Tom Matson pictured with his dog Chewy, has improved his game under the guidance of past and present AFL players at Claremont this year.
Tom Matson has found his niche with Claremont even though they have 10 or more AFLK players in it each week. The one time wingman has settled into Claremont’s back-line and been one of the teams best players’ each week. Last week he rubbed shoulders with Trent Croad and this week is likely to be sharing the ball with Ashley McIntosh.
The current squad members from the Eagles are McIntosh, Clancy Rudeforth and from the Dockers – Croad, Clive Waterhouse, Anthony Jones, Ben Cunningham, Andrew Browne and Ben Colreavy. Greg Harding, Ashley Prescott, Jason Norrish, Brad Dodd, Brad Wira and Darren Kowal are former AFL players.
