Let them eat cake? This mob have had their cake and eat it too since they moved to Joondalup. Wanted to take the spoils of the richest growth area in the WAFL and got a few premierships as proof, but has stubbornly refused to embrace the name that represents the northern corridor.

They are the most arrogant club in the WAFL and that’s saying something considering the club that dominates it.


I don’t think it has anything to do with being arrogant, the clubs older players don’t want the name changed and many of them threatened to leave the club, as these guys die off the negativity to a name change will disappear.
The name change will happen but the name would need to represent the whole Northan corridor not just Joondalup.
So far no one has ever offered the club any financial rewards to change its name.

Well that’s pretty selfish of the “older past players” in my opinion. So what about the more recently retired players that have won premierships at Joondalup? Do they also take that selfish attitude so you end up with this never ending cycle of past players threatening to abandon the club if they change their name away from West Perth?

There is nothing wrong with Joondalup and I think most people outside your club think of you as the Joondalup Falcons anyway. It sounds perfectly normal to me and Joondalup will become a city before too long.

Geez even AFL clubs have successfully gone through a name change, Footscray are the Western bulldogs but in fact it's the Footscray FC trading as the Western Bullgogs, same for North Melbourne, they are the North Melbourne FC trading as the Kangaroo's, whats wrong with the West Perth Fc trading as the Joondalup Falcons?

Anyway back on subject, great effort yesterday by 22 committed blokes, nearly half the team did not play in last years GF so a great effort by Wardman and his coaching staff to get such great results with so many of last years ressies and a few colts coming through.

Dela was terrific again knocked up getting disposals, same with Greg Clark who has got better and better as the season has gone on. Max started like a German band had 22 disposal and 3 goals for a great effort, Sok started slowly but made the most of his opportunities for 6 and Borch continues his growth as a qality FF with 4. The entire backline were dominant even without the backline captain Locks not playing.

As some media have said we dont have a fancy flashy game plan but work incredibly hard to make space and gut run to create overlaps and put great pressure on the opposition players always getting numbers to the contest, a testament to the training and fitness regime the club demands of the players. We ran harder and longer than Joondy who had everything to play for and was clearly shown in the last quarter with 6 goals to 1. I would have expected Joondy to go hard in the last after just outscoring us in the 3rd, even if they could not win they failed to protect their percentage which might see them drop out of the finals if results dont go their way.

In saying that I hope Joondy and Perth can get up next week and WCER lose bigtime to ensure it's 5 Wafl teams in the finals.

Absolutely on the money re your comment on half of yesterday's side not playing in last years league GF SS. Throw in Simon Moore and by my rough count that's more than half. We've only recruited Marsh this year so all the others who missed out last year but played yesterday have come up from last year's ressies. To be able to regenerate like that and compete at a similar standard to 2018 is a terrific effort by the coaches and players themselves when you consider the calibre of blokes who've left in Zac Clarke, Phelan, Deluca, and those currently injured such as Halligan, Newton, Powell, Kennedy, Fimmano and so on.
