1996, September 24, West Australian, headlined Story and photos “AFL Stars make final difference” Photo of Chris Lewis using his experience to help Claremont despite close attention from East Perth’s Devan Perry. Football coaches talk a lot about the game ‘one percenters’ the little effort like a shepherd or tap on that help a team’s advancement. This is the benefit the WALF Clubs get with the return of the AFL players. At Subiaco yesterday it was that slight increase in skill level which enabled Claremont to win this year’s premiership over East Perth by 2 points. With the match in the balance for much of the day it was the input of 3 AFL players that made the difference in Chris Lewis, Don Pyke and Todd Ridley.
