I noticed several Filth players had a ton of ball including Lee with 37
Were the ferals wasteful with those pozzies?
Risol I seen play last year in the VFL and he looked a composed player along with Sketcher, 2 good pickups
Jesus it's gonna shit me seeing Mcinness and Tunbridge in Filth jumpers next year
The parasites cant produce their own AFL quality young guys so they once gain whore themselves out
Would love to see the 7 stand alone clubs get together and fight the bastards at the WAFl over this

Hows it going Swedgen yep its gunna be tough so i hope our admin is ready to poach!!
Id be circling around Josh Smith and would be leaving no stone unturned in trying to lure him to Lathlain Park!!

I listened to most of the first half on 91.3 and they are showing good signs when challenged to respond and boot away. That's the sign of a good side with a bit of belief and to absolutely dominate the last qtr 7.6 to 1.2 is very impressive I have to say and EP had a good side out on the park. The 11 day to 4 day break difference obviously played a part in that but you still have to get the job done.

That is the first convincing win and the next 3 weeks are all there for the taking even though they are away from home. Claremont are hard hit by injuries ATM and we beat them only 2 years ago while they were a much stronger outfit. We go alright there for some reason, and Subi and WP are very beatable. It has to be said, we have had a dream opening draw in the first 5 rounds but to be 4 and 1 has obviously surprised many but now the test is how do we go away from home against some of the better sides?

With Busher closer to a comeback that gives options down back. Either play Busher down back which i believe he played a fair bit of footy at CHB in his colts days or play him forward and swing Tunbridge down there.

Sounds like the club is in a healthy position injury wise, how is Sean Holland coming along in the ressies and another tall option in Tyson Rowling?

I wonder if the Eagles will debut Simon Tunbridge this year to prepare a young player to fill Darren Glass's shoes? Is Tunbridge still on the rookie list?

Agree 30plus, next year with McInness and Tunbridge joining EP along with a couple of other forwards like Josh Hill it's going to make things tight at EP for spots. Also what about that forward that left EP, Prior? Proven goal kicker and maybe he left due to the alignment?

Speaking to a EP supporter at the game he commented that Prior went back to Melbourne due to the alignment.

Have any supporter of the club formerly known as East Perth got any ideas/theories as to why their club appears to be under-performing at the moment.

Is there a split in the club due to the alignment or is it just a case of poor form and/or injuries?

Why would you ask that on the Perth thread?

One reason has to be the insane game plan they appear to be trying to play, moving the ball wide every time and long, slow, laborious movement into the forward line. I'd hate to be playing in that forward line waiting for the ball to limp its way forward.

They also have Cale Morton playing for them which can't help.

Johnno it was asked on this thread in the context that Perth had played the club formerly known as East Perth yesterday and as such the supporters of that team may have had some thoughts in the context of yesterday's game and previous games. Alternatively, some Perth supporters may have some ideas as well.

As Swans have not played the club formerly known as East Perth this year I was interested in hearing some comments. It certainly wasn't an attempt to usurp the topic, but a passing inquiry.

Hopefully, this explains the rationale behind my post.

Even the alignment with WC hasn't changed the amount of pencil necked freaks that support EP, whole family of them sitting behind the goals at the Railway end.

Hey PN is that the same red necked feral family that sit behind the goals at the Leederville TAFE end at Medibank drinking Emu Export & smoking joints swearing their heads off during games there? Fine upstanding lot they are!!
