wont know whether perth are contenders or pretenders. till they play someone decentHave so far played two teams doomed for the bottom three.Bulldogs are a shadow of the team they were last year plus a flaky west coast team.Isn't amazing how a team can get better by most of the other teams going backwards.

Sorry for beating the teams we're playing.

I rememeber in the eighties.You do remember the eighties wasn't that the last time perth made the finals.Anyway back to my story I can remember east perth winning all three games against the bottom four teams and losing all three games against the top three teams.we made the four but no real threat..As you say you can only beat the teams you have so far played.The good thing is you still have plenty of time to shoot yourselves in the foot like last year.

Dobbo is not our best mid. Arbon , M Young , Ameduri , Rudrum , Waite have all passed him. He could be better served as a forward as he has a pretty good kick when he is on.

Good teams don't get dragged down.

If you think you got dragged down, then you're not a good team. Although better than us yesterday.

The better team won on the day and good luck to Perth, they have for a while been in the proverbial no mans land but seemed last year and then this year to have established a good brand of football. The test will be to keep it going and play finals, ya never know what can happen.

I did not go but watched on the telly, there were times when we looked ok and a couple of times we looked quite accomplished and then there are the 'clangers' as the girl on the commentary phrased them and yep there were a few!

It was good to see the debutantes play well, not great but ok and they will improve with time, I think we have a good ruck with AJ, OLO down back (oops for the OKO in recent posts) and with Hille and Wright we will develop some depth in the mids to help Ginnie and Rammer. When Ben Miller is fit, Dobbo decides that he wants to be serious, Lewie Miller teams up up the Cahill down back to support Gorter we will be a better team.

Time is the resource we have and as long as we look for the positives and look forward without rash promises or statements we will be ok!

we definitely need to rejig the forward line.may need to either play blee or Anderson in the forward line.to give some support for Houghton.I think blee played some time forward time under the old regime to get a regular gig.We seem to have lots of guys who have experience in the backline or backline players who have been reinvented as midfielders but we are skinny for talent and experience in the forward line..
