TOPIC:

Another great call by the SportFM crew.       West Perth losing Black early in the final term and their ruck tiring was the turning point. The breeze wouldn't have played a huge factor.

Massive choke by these front running debt dodgers. Can someone explain to me why the media keeps patting this mob on the back with plaudits every week? Again today Micale and Mitsy praising WP’s courage. FMD, they blew a 25 point lead late in the 3rd qtr and allowed Claremont to kick 8 of the last 9 goals.

Oh Aaron Black injured his knee late in the game. Good luck trying to play finals with 22 plus injuries. I stopped counting after 22. Even umpires pet 
Jye Bolton was conceding free kicks to A. Black.

Yeah pretty disappointing fade out in the end by WP they looked the goods in the third.

in the end both games this weekend produced predicable results with not a lot of excitement.

Your all heart you blokes cheers 🍻

not a lot of excitement? I thought the south’s v Subi game was a high skilled cracking fast paced game. And there seemed to be plenty of excitement at today’s game. 

Watching it as a neutral I thought it was a great game and there seemed to be a lively atmosphere at Claremont looking at it on the TV. I thought the 4 goal margin flattered the Tigers. If Kernutt had slotted an easy kick for goal at the 20 minute mark it would have brought the game back to a 1 point margin and who knows what might have happened after that. As it was Claremont had just that little bit more in the tank after WP lost Black at a crucial time. Well done to both teams and I reckon that Claremont have every chance of reversing last weeks result and making the Grand Final as South Freo are not really firing at the moment. They are certainly due a win against them. Jai Bolton's 60 metre goal which wrapped up the victory today was outstanding considering how tired his legs must have been by that stage. Reminded me of a similar one he kicked a few years ago at Bassendean after the siren to snatch a win v Swans. What a player he is at this level.

South were never in it all day, Sundays game had potential to be a thriller and ended in a wimper as WP collapsed in a heap as Claremont piled on goals in a cake walk.

WP will always been known as a loser club now by real supporters, at least until the WAFC insists on getting to the bottom of what happened to the money and, if appropriate, penalises them.

The whole thing stinks. WP will never wash the stench off.

They could make us all shut up with what they do on field but they don’t. They get into finals on the back of having a pretty good zone. Then they go out, normally in an embarrassing fashion. As they did again today.

So yes what do they have to be proud of exactly. Not paying Mums and Dads? Keeping it all hush hush? Never doing their time? Being also rans every year? Going to Joondalup and becoming the Falcons for three or four flags?

Nope bit of a joke the old west Perth.

I agree with you on the financials, utterly disgraceful. 

WP were actually far more succesful on and off the field at Leederville over their long journey despite the 80s slump.

Claremont Oval holds more than you think, looked like plenty of room around the outter fence still could been filled despite, it being over 4000.

Yep Claremont are a real chance this week.

Wonder how many will turn up day after AFL GF in Perth?
