As dawn breaks in Perth, a small group of rowers launch their boats into the Swan River at the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club. These aren't typical competitive rowing boats. They are 155 kilogram wooden, hand-built coastal rowing boats called St Ayle's skiffs, also known as skiffies. They can be traced back to the 19th century mining communities of the famous Scottish town of Fife.

It ends WA's near 30-year absence from top-flight league, following the axing of the Western Reds in 1997, and sees the North Sydney Bears colours and legacy continue on the west coast.

"Half-hearted.""Not tough enough.""Too comfortable.""Absolute crap.""Are we up for the challenge?"Those were words used by Fremantle players or coaches to describe performances in recent weeks, as the club stumbles from one inconsistent performance to another. And after a 10-goal loss to St Kilda, in which Fremantle was held to the third-lowest half-time score in its 30-year history, the spotlight intensified on a squad which experts said should be a top-eight side.
