This is Perth's chance right here, they have the Ferals this week and then they play WP at home. We (WP) could possibly be 1-5 after the $ubi game and you blokes could be 3-2 if they show some spine.

Leedy, PFC show spine every game they play but they tend to let themselves down at critical times with over use of handball, bad decision making and last quarter fadeouts.
But, they are working on all that and gradually improving.
EP will be no pushovers but if the Dees come to play as they have done then this game is as gettable as last week.
As for your boys at HBF Arena that will be a huge challenge for Perth. We do not have a good record up there at Joondy and the Falcons have had the wood on us in recent years at home and away. However, in their current form, the Dees will look at that game as gettable. It will be in their hands.

Dead right Smoke, these boys always try - and their skills are definitely improving. What I like is they seem to be going into their shells less and less, they keep pressing and backing themselves. It doesn't always work of course but then their defensive pressure when they lose the ball is mostly top notch. Their tackling and general hassle is great. It does take a toll though (as last q against Peel showed) so if they can cut out turnovers and have quarters like the 3rd q against Peel more often then anything could happen...

Lets just take it easy boys. One game does not make a season. Yes the effort was better against East Fremantle and then again for longer periods against Peel. However poor kicking and not taking our opportunities cost us a win against the Sharks and we almost let slip a 38-point three quarter time lead.

We can't afford for either of these things to happen against East Perth this weekend.

And Smokey, Perth have back to back home games mate. The West Perth one is at Lathlain as well.
