Reckon that was a couple of years ago Smokey and not last season,unless of course they have done it a couple of times to us.

At home we should win this and win it well but then again its "us" we are talking about!

I don't know how Edmonds kept his spot.
The midfield looks a bit dicey again even moreso with Leeson now out. J Morton named in the centre, could be an interesting move if he plays there.
Good to see Clem Smith back.

He did that last week. I think Williams is trying to add a bit of height in the guts. Something Dunderkklumpin didn't try too often.

This game will break one teams losing run. Perths last win was in round 7 on May 3 against Peel Thunder. Since then they have lost 7 straight. South Fremantle's last victory was on the same day against Claremont and since then they have lost 6. A long time between drinks for both teams.

Tim Hunt has been taken of our list. That frees up 10 more points.

As a diehard supporter , with no finals to look forward to & a few key players out injured , you have to say well it's good opportunity to suss out the list maybe a couple of new roughies in sort of thing
This is one of those games for us - maybe the Dees too , both sides looking for coaches , out of the race & trying to avoid a spooning
Still some good talent in this game looking at both lists , interesting

I wonder if that was done to free up points for Tropiano?
I think Tropiano may work out to be a good get.

Was McMahon in the job when we recruited Tropiano???
I dont think he was and if he was the club imo already new he was out the door.

I would have thought the new coach would be making the new recruiting decisions particuarly on players worth 5 points or more.
IT may well work out hes a good get but who knows (EF very rarely let the good ones go) but isnt this what Percy was talking about,the suits interfering?
Somebody made the decision to recruit Tropiano and imo it wasnt McMahon or the (coaches).

30plus, as you know a lot of players come to Perth from other clubs because they see us as a side they can crack a regular league game with when they are frustrated at lack of opportunities at their former club. Quite often they are spuds, or list cloggers, and we have a few in there. But occasionally we get lucky. Early days but we might have picked up one worth the points.

I know all that but i reckon in a lost season without a full time coach these decisions should be left for the new bloke in the off season,this is exactly what Percy was talking about...football decisions being made by the wrong people.
Lets face it East Freo as a rule dont let good young ones go easily.
