Yep it was fun while it lasted. Was nice to have a few weeks of excitement. Unlikely to win another game now. Skills and tackling pressure have dropped away to nothing. So disappointing

It looks like the players have turned their toes up over the last 5 matches, I was prepared to overlook the big loss to Subi given the weather and how it favoured Subi, but to get our ass handed to us by 3 sides sitting well below us on the ladder is unacceptable after such a promising start. The Duty Free Falcons will blow past us on the ladder on percentage once they level up with us on wins and then the two AFL teams loom as threats to 5th spot. The best case scenario i see from here is we finish 5th and have to face the Duty Free Falcons at Rent Free Park in an elimination final.

Who are we going to beat playing like this? It’s all irrelevant now. Season over and back to the drawing board..... again

It is the irresistible force of our zone kicking in again. No depth. Zone. Zone. Zone.

Disappointing result, again.
Does illustrate the need for recruitment to cove3r our deficiencies.
We had our chance with plenty of points available but for what ever reason we didn't do it.
Now we have no excuses if we are serious.as we were told.
We are not going anywhere unless we improve the squad.
AND IMPROVE OUR DEPTH.
Very very disappointing.

The experts keep telling us to focus on the zone. They seriously say it.

Our Colts got flogged.
Again.
The zone will get us nowhere

How does wafc not know this. Oh that’s right they couldn’t care less.

We are no strangers to being so far off the pace.
Absolutely no depth and as usual have not done any quality recruiting to rectify it.
The zones are the problem. We do not produce good young players in great numbers.
As quickly as we do they get drafted. Three last year and could be another three this year
Until we get the message that we must recruit quality we will go nowhere.

Absolutely. This happens at no other club. It is all about depth and the zone. Does anyone really think we are that badly run that we haven’t made finals for over 20 years due to management. It’s the zone and you can’t fix Perth if you don’t fix that.
