Extremely ordinary display I thought by South. Lackluster at times.

Also getting quite concerned at the attendances, very few in the club couple of weeks in a row now, given the 125 year, decent start etc. not many around even Swans had a small turnout.

Didn't you prefer to sit home on the couch instead of traveling to Lathlain?

Sounds pretty piss poor since you guys proudly show off your membership target and membership count and if the numbers are correct you kill the competition in membership numbers. And you are 3 zip. 

I'm finding Perth supporters are getting pretty picky which games they attend also since you can watch all games live one way or another on the screen.

According to the WAFL site
2010 at Leederville on Good Friday
1219 at Peel
2101 at Fremantle
1903 at Lathlain
no figure for Saturday night game

Last week at the East Perth v Swans game there was 1574, compares with 2562 in the corresponding fixture last year, so there appears to have been a dramatic fall away in attendances which is a concern

 

Yes thats a big drop, mindboggling that SF v SD had the biggest crowd 2100, it was pretty small, two weeks in a row now I've ducked into the members bar straight after the final siren, once you would struggle to get served, this time each week lucky if 4 people there, never seen it so empty game day, atmosphere just not there. Maybe its the cost of stuff now.

Re WAFL as a whole.
If the $20 general admission doesn't turn them away the ridiculous beer prices will.
Couldn't believe it was $8.50 for a mid-strength & $9.50 for a full strength at the EF can bar...only to be out done by Peel at $10 a can of mid or full strength. Theres 2 reasons why the average punter won't go to the WAFL.

Yep 20 bucks OTT for mine, at least yours are now free.

$9 at the Fremantle outter can bar!
