TOPIC:

a genuinely poor season - no other description
knew after losing so many that there would be potholes
it was a mass blooding of players
Caleb Stephens , Jermaine Pickett , Kaden Harbour , Roan O’Hehir , Jack Blechynden , Aaron Drage , Ed Graham Chase Bourne Ash Ferreira Nathan Spooner showed that there is something raw in the bank
Whole heap of work needs to be put into skills all round – 20 premiership points or more were dropped due to basic skill errors
It is a big and lightning fast V8
but it has scattergun steering and a dodgy diff at very best
No point developing shit if it can’t kick or handball effectively
What has the reserves coach been doing for the past two years I do ask??
have to find a way to let James & Broadbent play in the same side
Whip out the cheque book and re-load

A year to forget and one that could not come to an end quick enough.

Started with an outrageous OTT penalty and that set the tone for the club that was always going to find it hard with the loss of personelle from last season. Finals were never on the cards at a league level after that, some credence in that we managed to finish on top of perennial no hopers Perth even giving them a 2 game head start.

All grades performed poorly with the colts being utterly dismal, atmosphere down the club was non existent this year with many regulars choosing not to bother coming along.

President and Coach remain in place - one wonders what planet the club is on as they steer us of the cliff?

Another hard year next season I suspect it is a long road back given the performance of lesser grades.

On another front ground development at Fremantle seems to have fallen once again into a black hole as other clubs like EF move on and progress for the future. Not much to get excited about down there at the moment.

With your zones you should be sitting pretty in the top 5 even with the 2 game penalty. Land of the giants at your club you practically own the southern corridor with new growth areas that the inept WAFC fail to give Perth our fair share of.

Was told by prominent Perth people your president agreed to give us half of Byford. What a joke it made me sick and angry hearing that.

Another privileged football club just like Claremont.

we don't have exclusive zones DD - unlike others
we were badly affected with the intro of Mandurah 

Well Southerner it would be easier naming the suburbs you don't have than the ones you do all the way from Armadale to Rockingham. And I believe you have regained Rocko or part of it. Perth gets fuck all. Every new suburb that has popped up in the southern corridor in the last 15 years or more has either gone to South or East Fremantle.

Byford, Mundijong, Jandakot, Piara Waters, Harrissdale, Aubin Grove, Success, Hillman, Treeby, Atwell, Wandi, Banjup, Haynes, Hilbert, Forrestdale, Wellard, Cardup, Baldivis...... probably a few I've overlooked. Embarrassing isn't it??

DD just think if that last minute voting fiasco with Mandurah hadn't occurred - what good zones you would have got

Not as embarrassing as voting in Peel, just think what we lost and we opposed it and you got them in, you reap what you sow I guess.

Anyway who gives a rats about Perth zones, this is about Souths crap performance this year albeit our league outperformed yours even with a 2 game head start.

On the money with your assesement  Bazza. Just about pewked when I read the latest statement from the club that they send to our Membership. They have turned into one the biggest spinners of crap that I have ever seen. They live on another planet.
 

The Spin has got out of control, Dwert, I know the Prez is ringing members on personal phones in damage control if anything said on Social media...
