If you mean the DEES SS not sure we can claim favouritism.
Haven't beaten you for decades and JT reckons we don't work or train as hard as you guys.
Subi by 6 goals I reckon.

My previous post was to remind you not to go Optus (Eagle Park) but to head to Lathlain.
Otherwise you will miss the game.

DF good win by your boys yesterday, sealed the deal re finals this year, but dont bring up a history of when Subi won most games and Perth rarely won a game, this season, on current form, your boys on your own patch should win easily after we were beaten by a team you beat well and you won over a team that easily accounted for us when we had a far better list available. Will be interesting to see if the bookies have finally learnt something about Subi's season and post some sensible odds about a Perth win. Looking forward to next weeks game, hopefully a good hard close contest.

BH: agree totally mate; just to illustrate your point on the stupidity of the coaches further here is an example from the EP game. In general, the Royals over used the ball, they wanted the ball more and made less mistakes than us, so were deserved winners. During one celebrated passage of play, EP kicked the ball long four times in succession, taking three strong pack marks in a row; the fourth was nearly a mark to EP, as well, as we were powerless in the air. The ease with which that passage of play took place comparred to watching the over use of the ball by both sides, was amazing.

Come on SS.
Surely there are no doubts creeping in at the centre of excellence.
Win the last 3 games and you probably take our spot in the finals.
Then go on to win another flag.
Easy with your list and the great coach.

Demons flog wouldn't it be hilarious if you blokes finally cracked it this season, after 50 years of nothingness, the * season of 8 games...kind of replicates your usual April premiers status in normal seasons...

Yes Ark Mort was something else in 82/83, I myself thought we had another Bucky, possibly better. He was still more than good on one leg. Not sure I agree with no players of brilliance and flair these days, the afl has many, look at McGovern and Natanui today for example

Our list!! well there's the rub DF, our list who are taking the field is at about 50% that of last years, the injuries are to our absolute key players and leaders, so I'm quite philosophical about what has happened this year, no team can cope with that many injuries, if it was a full season and we got those players back by round 8 or 9 then we would be well in the fight by round 18 but it is what it is. Good luck to your boys they deserve some success and I will look forward to next season with 18 games and a healthy Subi list.
