While he has a handful of best and fairests and a Sandover Medal to his name, Haiden Schloithe’s lofty on-field accolades are dwarfed by his most recent achievement: overcoming testicular cancer to feature for South Fremantle in Sunday’s WAFL grand final clash with East Perth. At that time, it was highly unlikely he would play football again this year, he was told. South Fremantle star Haiden Schloithe has overcome testicular cancer to play in the 2025 WAFL grand final against East Perth. Schloithe made an inspiring comeback at reserves level in June, before breaking into the Souths senior side two weeks later. He’s featured in every match since, and is now a step away from claiming a second WAFL premiership with the Bulldogs, who have dropped just one match all year.
