Yes, and no one from the named side has replaced him in the ressies. If he comes in then it’s a late injury or illness

Masten was late withdrawal.
 

Good win pity we couldn’t make it a very good win, started butchering and messing around with it after quarter time. 2 wins in a row at Moss st when was the last time we could say that? Queuing up for a beer at the bar at half time saw Vladimir on the telly and the bad news. Didn’t want to leave had to savour what it’s like being at the footy because it might be the last game we are seeing for a while.

Great games by Brady Grey again, Dalton Langlands his best by far, ripper game by Stubbsy and Busher was a very valuable contributor and steadying influence.

Busher comes straight in, no question. Poor guy is under pressure, we all expect him to fix our forward line woes. We need to understand that he probably won't kick a bag, but hopefully he can allow us to move the ball more quickly and directly. Busher the long target, Stubbs the leading target, Rogers doing the bullocking work, Richo providing some polish... is it going to come together? We need to kick at least 14 goals to win. 

Cesspit, have to disagree about playing Eyres and DBW. With those guys plus Busher, Gibba, Hill, Sinkers, Nicholas, we would be top heavy and slow. If anything, I'd look at replacing Hill with a more mobile player. Maybe it depends on match ups. Plus who gets dropped for Eyres? I would bring in Busher for Jones and Coniglio for Hendo and leave it at that. If Gray comes in, that would have to be at the expense of Peletier. Q


you were saying?

I’m thinking Demon Darby McCarthy Smoke...

 

Well he played a good game today. We will wait and see if he has improvement in him.
Darby Munro was a big champion in his era. Darby McCarthy has a way to go yet. Too early to call on how good he can be to deserve the nickname..

Eyres and DBW. On their performance today by far the best either have played.
37 hitouts between them and 31 disposals between them and they each kicked a goal. 
Now, that's what I was talking about. !!!  We can play with two ruckmen and get results from them. They now have to back it up next week.
Our stats suggest we should have won by more but the effort very pleasing.
Even more pleasing was Bush's effort on return to Lathlain, Brady Gray 29 disposals, 10 inside 50s, 9 tackles.- clearly our best.
So where are we? we are 2/2 with some big games to come. Still some work to be done IMO.
Jack Avery 41 disposals in a losing colts side to follow his 39 vs Claremont.
Surely he has to come up to seniors soon - perhaps a couple of runs in the ressies.
Any news on Masto and Sinclair??
 

Well done Perth. Battered the Sharks today. The amount of EF players who went missing under pressure was disappointing. Busher is a great addition, and I too though Eyres was excellent

Good on you KFC, well said, You're one of the better escaped mental patients from the EF chat. 

EF were a bit unlucky losing O'Reilly and Murdoch which helped but we looked on right from first bounce and had great aggression and intensity at the contest which was great to see. Busher gave us a great target up forward until he swapped with Sinclair after he rolled his ankle and Stubbs was fantastic up forward as well. No passengers today, that's what I liked.

EF do play a strange brand of footy, chipping around and hugging the boundary. I can understand why Marsh does his nut every five minutes with the ball coming in like that. 

Boys that was a top win - got to be absolutely stoked to come away with that 
WAY
TO
GO

DBW and Eyres, what a success today.
Can I assume they rested on the ground and up forward.
They have never individually had stats like that.
It is fantastic that Moss experimented with something that we have been calling for and no other Perth coach has dared to try.
For decades we have not seen the value of big blokes.
As they say they don't get shorter as the days goes on.
We should continue the experiment.
Didn't see the game but followed it on the app.
I was disappointed that we could kick six in the first quarter and then only 5 for the last 3.
May be someone could explain that for me.

DF, your boys were too tough.

After 1st Q it was a bit of a scrap- EF couldn’t close the gap and Perth just did enough
