TOPIC:

Well done to the PTFC, they won the flag fair and square. Everything they did was within the current rules of the WAFL. Changes in the qualification rules will more than likely be made for next season but in the meantime Peel supporters should enjoy the title "reigning premiers" for the next 12 months. Maybe this win will give a fillip to football in the Peel region and who knows the next Peel premiership may contain a lot more locals. It is great to see a different name on the cup this year

Credit to Subiaco as well who put up a brave effort and no matter what they say were severely disadvantaged by the lack of match fitness that comes from only playing one competitive game in five weeks whereas their opponents were battle hardened. They were also on the wrong side of the umpiring yet again with some quite bewildering and inconsistent interpretations.

The crowd of 15,000 whilst not massive was certainly more than I expected.
The challenge for all teams including the club I support is to stop complaining about the AFL clubs in the WAFL, unfortunately this is a reality which will not go away no matter how much we whinge about it. Sure we can all fight for certain concessions to help make the WAFL competition more of an even playing field but it is also up to the Perths and Swans, Claremonts and East Fremantles to challenge themselves to improve sufficiently so that they can compete with the alignment teams and Subiaco.

watch out DF...if you're not kissing the chunder's arse for winning the flag you'll have your posts deleted and cop a stern warning from the powers that be.[/quote

Let's hope they go a bit further and ban posters like you that a problem reading posts put up by Admin.

another gem PN...any time you want to be lucid on here give us some warning ffs. if you were any dumber you'd have to be planted and watered twice daily.

DF.....why are you surprised Blakely was wearing a Freo polo?.....havent folk complained here on this thread and many others that Peel played 17 Freo players?....yeah we get it they are paid by Freo not Peel.....it's not morally right but within the rules right.......hopefully changes will come out of it and sooner rather than later.

anyway isnt what Blakely did on the footy field whilst wearing a Peel jumper busting his gut for them count more than wearing a polo shirt post match?......yeah he was just doing what he gets paid to do......but if Blakely didnt give a toss , why bust his gut running around picking up 40 odd possies v SF and back up v Subi with 39 possies?.....a lot of running around in Blakely's off season to do that dont you think?........anyway game over......Subi clearly showed even with their best side, giving 110%, that the WAFL needs to address the number of AFL boys running around in the WAFL each weekend......it had to happen......if Subi had won the like of Freo n WCE would of said.....look what is the problem us aligned clubs still cant win the flag.....which the WAFL would of listened to.......just think Subi showed a bit too much .......they should of rolled over by more thus substantiating even more every WAFL clubs and fans concerns about the Alignment disparity!

Hey Df I saw something very disrespectful on sunday.One of Peel's dockers grand finals players went out to the east Perth huddle during the ressies grand final.Imagine a eastern states docker who remembers where he got his wafl start.Also saw Xavier Ellis at the ressies and colts finals watching east perth.How disrespectful is that.

Missed the point hey Chaddy.
Obviously you enjoy the AFL takeover.

Congrats Peel Football Club
