ToOl...I think there must have been a problem with the link to the onground statisticians as it's saying Kitchin only had it 5 times all day and Dragovic only 19 when he had 12 up until qtr time.

Great game of wet weather footy, thankfully the forecast wind stayed away as it was dead still all day but with torrential rain. Both team were fierce at the contest and apart from a few isolated argy bargy it was played in good spirits. Souths had their share of the footy but were intent to bomb it into the forward 50 on most occassions where as Subi played with more precision and patience. We barged forward knocking on or soccering when it was called for but when we created some space we used the ball really well and delivery to the forwards for a wet day was 1st class. The backs were terrific as usual but really was a full team effort, only later in the last did they appear to ease up but 30 odd points in the wet is a significant margin and evens up for our earlier loss to the Doggies.
Souths obviously missed Higgins his brute strength at the contests was badly missed by their mids who were under constant pressure from our mids. Dela was again BOG for mine. his marking was elite in the conditions and he seems to kick far better in the wet than the dry for some strange reason, he is in a real purple patch at the moment and will be racking up the Sandover votes. Down back Gus, Locks and Kennedy were great and covered the loss of Heal well.

now for 4c in the dollar next week up at Dodge a financial bullet park. They are going along nicely and the training run v Bogundean will see them very fresh for next weeks game.

What really impressed me yesterday SS was our tackling pressure. The South Walyalup ball carriers had no time to dispose of the pill with any accuracy and were gang tackled relentlessly.

Yes...agree...next week will be another challenge at Part X Park. I'll pay my 60 cents at the gate but will ask for a Tax Invoice just to make sure it goes through the books.

The stats are a total screw up mate. Nothing like correct: even the final scores on the app are wrong. What a shame WAFL footy is such an inconvenience for the WAFC

Singha you and your mates should thank your lucky stars the commission couldn’t care less about the integrity of the wafl comp
