On a brighter note Mark Hutchings and Luke Meadows will return next season to the nest, also Ben Johnson returns after being delisted from WC, Blacky suffered a PCL injury to his knee yesterday.

As far as the game yesterday goes, the boys had a crack but run out of steam, we finished 4th and nobody has ever won a flag from 4th, Subiaco will win the flag easy this year good on them.

Claremont in 1964 finished fourth after beating West Perth in the last home and away game. They went on to beat East Fremantle by 4 points in the Grand Final.

Yeh maybe once in every 50 years it might happen, but with the top 5 system it is a lot harder to get to the GF from 4th or 5th.

 

STD Dipsticks favorite saying,"We will be better next year",hes been saying that since 1977.
I Think Falcon summed you up very well STD,KNOB.

It has happened three more times since Claremont’s 1964 success East Fremantle 1965, East Fremantle 1992 and Peel Thunder 2016

Maybe Screemar is back in a red n black disguise????

Given the issues you have suffered off field (no excuse for tho') this has been a season to praise by your team. Other teams could learn from your ability to retain and develop (a capitol D) players from your own area, well done.

Not sure what KNOB stands for to be honest. STD I get.

Bazza I’m sorry you sold out one year. But you did.

God forbid Perth ever become a power again, if your arrogant and demeaning now towards more successful clubs you'll be nightmare should that happen ( I think were safe ).

Easy there Bazza.....at least with Perth's reserves in the GF, Optus will be definitely humming  with 60K Perth fans by 0930....touch wood SD make the colts GF, then another 60K of SD fans will keep Optus humming till the league GF.....who ever said footy in the Eastern Suburbs is dead....must of been off their tree....

yeah should be massive, apparently approaching sell out already.

Steady on you blokes. The crowds at the finals matches so far in fine weather have attracted what, 3 to 5000? Was about 4500 at Joondalup in our elimination final last year in atrocious conditions. Pissed down all day and a max of about 14 degrees. Beware the red and black army. 

If only the dumb West Australian Football Commission had half a brain they would realise the negative effect on crowd numbers when the same teams are playing finals year in year out. Wake up you dopey cunts.

I know Freezin was trying to be funny (key word: "trying") but this notion that there is an army of P or SD or EF waiting to mobilise once their team makes a GF is just crap. It might attract slightly more interest from neutrals, and it might attract a few of the "oh, yeah, I used to be a Perth fan before the Eagles" brigade. But, the WAFL GF will never get a crowd over 25k. In any event, the point is moot since no team other than the usual suspects, plus maybe an aligned team now and then, is ever likely to make the GF. The inequalities in the WAFL are too deeply entrenched now to ever change, and no-one cares enough to do anything about it. 

Ted, not sure what you mean about trying to be funny, that's STT forte mate, just merely sarcastically regurgitating what you Perth boys have said in the past about having a shed load of fans - ready to mobilize - and how good it would be to have an Eastern Suburbs GF with all those many passionate SD and Perth fans - apparently the most out of all the WAFL clubs.....hopefully the 0930 start won't deter you Perth boys from turning out in your many, many numbers, as for us EF fans - fark mate we are living the dream in our big houses with water views,  watching the GF on our 292 inch TV screens...
