East Fremantle played host to Claremont on a fantastic sunny April afternoon at East Fremantle Oval, now called ATOM Stadium. It was essentially one way traffic all day as Claremont kept control of the pace and flow of the game by remaining accurate with their kicking. Claremont did not miss in front of goals by kicking 11 goals until their first point compared to a very wasteful East Fremantle.
In the second half the hosts started to make a comeback. However their wasteful kicking in front of goal would be their undoing. Claremont retained the ascendancy by remaining accurate to win the game 19.2-116 to East Fremantle's 11.11-77.
Food at East Fremantle is incredibly ordinary and a far cry to what it used to be like when I was last here and over days gone by. The canteen at the "Shark Bite" area is out-sourced by a catering company, so the money does not go to the club. A very ordinary hot-dog was 5 dollars and a cheeseburger was 7 dollars. The cheeseburger was actually very good and you get what you pay for from the menu there. But 5 dollars for a hot-dog with no sauce and the bun split in 2 where the sauce would just fall through is simply terrible.
I would suggest going into the members bar for cheaper drinks and food they provide. Cool drink was 3.50 for a can, that is just ridiculous for a local WAFL club ground especially when the money does not go to the club.
Sadly the ground has seen better days as the ground in all aspects is dilapidated, graffiti everywhere and just everything in a run down state. Hopefully things can turn around with East Fremantle moving with South Fremantle.
