No excuses.........we lost again! I must say KC you look very dapper at the President’s Luncheon on your way to the VIP room. Even with an ageing team it seems Bill will get the nod for another 3 years! Kommer, Lester-Smith, Jupp, Boekhurst, Eardley all either 29/30/31next season.
Jupp would not get a game with any clubs above us. He really is a spud of a player and cost us dearly yesterday with poor disposal and checking!
Saying that he is Buffalo’s favourite..........

Sounds like it is Jupp's turn to be scapegoat. I thought he did well - took some strong relieving contested marks. But, then again, what do i know - I didn't play at the highest level.

Thank god you have no say in how things are at EF, FF2. You have consistently shown to have no idea. I think you'll find EF are one of, if not, the youngest teams in the competition. I think those that know you and your ability as a footballer know who the real spud is

Does sound like FF2 was there playing the flâneur rather than watching the action.

Private messages isn’t working so I will post a warning here. FF2 please refrain from Identifying people on this forum. It is strictly forbidden. Any repeat will result in a suspension so please refrain. That is why we have aliases.

A name was given to me also OFA, erroneously as it turned out. I didn’t complain at the time but may I add my hope that attempts are not repeated.

I have no idea what you are referring to but there is a report function you can use for any such occurrences.

Now I'm a neutral viewer but the TV commentators were bemused by the goal after the siren, saying it should not have been allowed and several times mentioned that Souths definitely had the rub of the green from the umpires, born out by the lopsided free kick count in a game that was pretty equally matched after the early Souths onslaught. In the time I was watching the umpires continue to be sucked in by Souths players like Schloithe who always seem to duck the head when ever contact is imminent. Up to the WAFC and the umpires advisors to rid this blight from the game.

If you were there, you would have seen what went on.  On TV you see stuff all behind the play.  He got absolutely man handled from No 11 from go to woe.   The umps were awake to it at times and paid him 
a free.  No player in the comp gets man handled like he does because he's a champion ball player.  Bolton 
collects 40 plus possessions a game because he's allowed to roam free and never gets tagged.  

 

Hopefully by the end of the season, we’ll get a better idea whether FF2 is onto something or whether he’s just another big bag of wind.  You can say what you want FF2, but these fade outs are killing us.  Is that the coach’s fault, the board’s fault or the player’s fault?  I know what the obvious cause probably is.

That’s right KCEF I have no idea and nor does anyone at East Fremantle have any idea what’s happening at the club. I know for a fact, we have won one flag since 1994! Nearly 30 years mate! Does that infer something is not right?
Apparently because we play one bad quarter each week is the reason why we don’t win games! Always the players fault when the post Mortem is done with regards to losing too!
You have to give credit to Claremont and Perth followers for having the balls to make changes for the betterment of the club such as sacking a grand final coach and removing a board of directors! You can’t keep laying the blame on the players. The club culture has to be questioned......... out with the old and in with the new especially off the ground. 
I hope I don’t upset any Shark supporters on here.....it’s only an opinion lads!

I think with cultures it is best to take a non essentialist view of them. Players are part of the club culture and the most visible part of it too because what is happening on field is of the most interest to most people. You yourself are complaining about a lack of league flags - though i make it 4 flags in 30 years. How can the players not take their share of the blame? Changing coaches has not exactly changed our fortunes either.

Bolton is allowed to "roam free and never gets tagged??" I've seen a hell of a lot more Claremont games than you and that is very much not the case mate!

Not sure why you're using Perth making board changes and Claremont sacking a GF coach as example- Perth have won SFA the last 40 years and time will tell with Claremont. You've got zero idea about club culture- none. All you do is pop up on here when there's been a loss and sprout unfounded crap. It must really eat at you when no one at the club listens.
