away against the Roys - lost a couple gained a couple 

From the news on the telegraph wire, congratulations need to go to Coach Curley.
Would be fantastic to see the Southerners come away from Leederville with the 4 points in the bag on his big day.

What a strange match this was. Not sure if Souths were unlucky in the end or whether the Home team is lucky. I went online at three quarter time to check the scores and South Fremantle looked gone for all money. They had only kicked 5 goals up until that point.. Then I checked the scores again upon returning home and they'd banged on 5 goals in the last quarter whist keeping the royals to a solitary point in the final term. Apparently South Fremantle only scored the 1 goal in the first quarter and had 6 scoring shots on goal in the first half. Whereas the Home team had 11 scoring shots at the long break. Was a good come back in the end, but they'll rue the loss today.

You could say the royals may have been lucky to hold on but i don't think you can say Souths were unlucky as they only played one good quarter and you rarely win games on that basis.
Souths should be dissapointed as they had a real chance of a win against one of the weakest teams we have put out this year

definitely no gripes here - somehow we found ourselves in a position to win late but that was purely due to East Perth just stopping far too early for their own liking 

Had our chances in those last few minutes, slow start no good.

Have to stop the rot as the comp is tight, Swans charging up the ladder.
