TOPIC:

Today we know exactly where we are. We will probably make the fifth place but can't see us winning any finals.
We are still way, way off the pace and a lot of soul searching to come if we are going to improve on where we are any time soon.
Can't fault the endeavour. Played with only three on the bench for most of the game and only two after half time.
Gee a few "deliberate" out of bounds decisions we very poor.

Not the result you guys were looking for but you had a red hot crack. A little unlucky with the weather conditions being at their worst when you had the wind but I think conditions overall were terrible and both sides had to deal with equally. I agree the deliberate out of bounds were ordinary but umpiring in those conditions would be very difficult. You still have plenty to work with so keep on improving and lets see where you finish up.

Two new additions have arrived at Lathlain in the last two weeks. Last week 194cm Christian Martin from Subiaco and 175cm Jacob Coniglio from SD this week. I assume he's the younger brother if GWS star Stephen?

What are you saying TFF?

That was embarrasing today. Can't fault the effort but fmd why do we insist on playing this high press where our forwards so high up when we win the ball we have nothing to go to? Subi always had two or three behind our last forward. it was that pathetic. We played on hope of kicking goals today not system. Forward of 50 we were diabolical. The only positive is Garstone and Bennell have to come back in next game. Micky did some good things in the ressies running through the middle.

Yep, $ got kissed on the cock at every turn by the maggots. What's new??

I am asking the question - How can two equally resourced semi professional outfits present so differently on the playing field. BC agrees by what he said in his post on your thread. This was Men against Boys. SS explain how that happens in a competition that is equally resourced? The difference was simply staggering. Massive bodies in your team. Why has Subi got the massive bodies and Perth don't? Is it because Perth boys don't want to do the work in the gym? Is it because Subi can pay more to the boys want to do the work in the gym. Is it because Subi can pay more for ready made big bodies. I don't know it is weird to me - weird that it has gone on son long. A bit sad too.

Bit of sour grapes here obviously but if subi can go from an awesome coach to an ex ump kids coach and get better then sorry they have to face up to the fact that they are ruining the comp.

TFF, why would you suggest that P and S are equally resourced? Everyone knows that S have a revenue stream about 4 times that of any other WAFL club and we all know why and what they do with it. Humiliating performance from P today. Yes, we were unlucky with the timing of the rain, but 1 goal in a match shouldn't happen. S played like it was dry, as evidenced by them taking almost twice as many marks. Hopefully this will be a line in the sand game for us. It has the potential to go the other way and be utterly demoralising, especially with two potentially long term injuries. With the reserves second last and getting pumped again, the options are getting increasingly slim. Bennell comes back, Burke in for Bell, maybe Marlin for Hill, but who else? Anyway, it's all about scraping up 3 more wins to steal into the five, but clearly we are miles off the pace. Then again, S will waltz to another flag, so we will be one of four teams making up the numbers if we make it.

The squad has done well to go from 2 wins to 7 wins to 6 wins already this year. But nothing is going to give us s good zone that can compete long term with beachside and riverside rich suburbs. Not going to happen and we’ll just have to keep battling away.

Ted because he is dumb and stupid and has no idea about the past 30 years in the WAFL.
They have cheated the system for far too many decades.
Sooner they spend their money the better.
No more buckets full for tham.
