DD wrote: The fact you came from nowhere to win a flag then fell away just as badly suggests otherwise boys. So can you expand on these “non football related activities” RSM? Rio and BHP give you a nice big juicy cheque and you have to do some activities in return?

Just for the record the activities to which you refer.
We have 11 full time employees running the progams. 3 in Perth and 8 in various locations up North.
Yes these programs are funded by various mining companies and we retain a management fee. Hence why we turn over more than double of some WAFL clubs.
So do your homework before trying to drag down a club that has survived against all odds.
Should add before the trolls, get in, none of the 11 Employees mentioned, play football.

You really need to do some homework before posting I suggest!

We played in the 2008 GF with a side containing a dozen teenagers and lead the invincible Subi by nearly 4 goals heading into half time before they over run us in the second half.
We played in the 2009 Preliminary Final after beating WP pretty easily in the 1st Semi before getting rolled by Subi going for their 4th flag in a row (who eventually just lost to SF that year).
Won the 2010 GF by a bee's dick.
2011 massive hangover not helped by losing the likes of Krakouer, Twomey etc to the afl.
2012 finished 3rd losing the Prelim to EF.
2013 finished 4th losing to EP in 1st Semi.
2014 finished 4th losing to EF in 1st Semi after being tipped by everyone to win the wooden spoon that year.
2015 knocked out of the finals spot by Claremont kicking a goal just before the final siren in the last round against WP.
2016 last with a young squad not helped by injury.
2017 finished 4th beating WP in a classic Elimination Final.
2018 & 19 second last and last respectively after undergoing a complete rebuild under new coach Pickering.

So in short we played Finals in the 2 years before 2010 and in 4 of the 7 seasons after and only just missed out on a 5th in 2015!

They dont hand Premierships out and or Finals places for that matter and being a Perth supporter over the last 43 years you should know that better than most!

Great post BH but trollers always going to troll TBH

Be careful what you wish for BH. Your club has been embroiled in many salary cap and financial scandals since the 2010 GF. So don’t you precious Swans supporters make out as though you’re squeaky clean and holier than thou.

The old clerical error was it DD?
You might have to take your own advice about being holier than thou and not being squeaky clean...also I dare bring up the Eagle Park influence at the former Lathlain Park now!
Put a big asterix against that wooden spoon after the following breach according to your logic then?

Mind you you can put an asterisk next to every premier over the last 10 - 15 years probably with the exception of SF, CL and WP under Harris and Dimmer.

Absolute f.....g rubbish, Please explain what we have been paying over the last 9 years. Our losses were declared read again, losses on the books declared, so if they are declared for all to see and the WAFC investigation resulted in them finding that the losses were not from undisclosed payments to players then how is the premiership in anyway tainted.
Explain that boofhead.

Doesn't the pain you have been suffering over recent years go back to 2010 when you went on a spendathon? Not long after that ended up in huge debt and somehow now in the blink of an eye you are the richest club in the WAFL in terms of profit, and by some margin. All the while you've been wallowing at or near the bottom of the ladder, can't pay players, crowds way down then bingo. Suddenly turn a huge profit. Must have held a lot of bingo and quiz nights.

I think psychologists might call your condition "premiership envy" DD. Suck it up.....

A real bad dose of it in this particular case Mike although 43 years is a long suffering envy condition!!

Now lets just get back to talking about that game back in September 2010 that had the majority of WA footy/sports lovers talking about the WAFL for weeks after!

Can hardly claim bragging rights for a wooden spoon can we? Whereas when you win* a flag that’s another matter.

2010 - Swan Districts*

I guess Perth FC just wasn’t smart enough to exploit the rules like some others have managed to do to achieve success.

Oh poor Mikey not used to being challenged. Don't tell me the well balanced champion is losing his cool and getting abusive because someone dared to challenge the validity of a flag he spent hours writing up on? It's called a discussion forum dipstick. Suck it up you princess.

Easy on the mikeh 'compliments' there DD.....pretty sure mikeh is one fella who after years of footy posting is neither a dipstick or a princess mate....good to see mikeh drop his well balanced champion of cool personna for a change....shows he is human after all....and that is even after being a SD fan.....

I thought you usually back up the one under attack for having a different opinion Freezin? Unless it’s me of course. Lol

DD...you don't need a doorman fella...and for mikeh to see red... well that just never happens...ever!

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the greatest WAFL GF in modern history.
