TOPIC:

Moving onto next week already. Would be great to get two in a row. I can't remember the last time.

Claremont are a very strange outfit this year and showed another example of that yesterday

5.2 to 1.3 up at quarter time before going down by 26 points verses the Premiers @ Leederville.

There % ranks in the top 4 in the league but they are 8th on the ladder.

No Graham for a while I am guessing and would be a big ask for Garstone and Leggett to preform like that again - I am afraid we will be waiting for 2 in a row a while longer but I will remain confident.

Also poor old Whitey looked in a lot of back pain yesterday. Can't seem to string games together like he use to anymore.

Will Spencer White come back in or will he spend another week in the reserves to build some sort of match fitness.

We need a tall target to kick to up there. Todd Stevenson, Dylan Biggs or Christian Eyres are all possibilities to come in for Angus Graham.

A couple of aspects in Perth's favour against Claremont. They'll be buoyed by the win over East Fremantle and go into this match with confidence. Claremont do not have a home ground advantage because currently being minus 1.
Should be a cracker of a match this one. Going to be interesting later in the week for the team selection.

I wonder if Darcy Cameron will be back for this game?
He will certainly bring new meaning to the term toothless tiger...

geez BH show a bit of compassion mate....the kid copped a cheap stray one to the face....hate to think what the reaction would of been amongst the SD crew if it had been Manzone spoiling Ricky Cary in the mouth?....

Now Now ladies play nicely haha

We beat them at the showgrounds last year for our first win in a season when everybody said we wouldn't win a game all year. Claremont have some good talent up against our Demon boys who whatever they may lack in talent they make up with raw courage and a focus on their individual roles in the game plan.
Our boys have not let us down this season on endeavour though skill levels have been disappointing at times but they are gradually lifting their game in this area.
This will be an interesting game on where each club is at. It seems that Broadbridge is under some pressure whereas Snake is widely credited with making progress with the development of an inexperienced group of players.
With our form in the last few games I think we can win this one. Angus will be a big loss with his broken ? finger.

Stevenson and Eyres both played in the ressies last week smokey. Eyres is obviously working his way back into after an injury lay off and Stevo has played the last four games and been pretty solid in each of them.

No Angus and no Deano makes the task harder. We can only go with the best available. Tigers seem to be strengthend so we will have to be totally focussed and hard at the ball for 100 minute.
