TOPIC:

it will be a interesting tussle on monday.east perth will welcome back kerr,the hyphen and wilcocks.on the other hand west perth will be without connor west  who is now a west coast eagle.the royals will think that this is a good chance of a upset wheras the falcons will need a win to get back into the five.

With Robertson and Ramsay still out,West being picked up by the Wet Toasters evens things up a bit.

Should be a close game, we obviously won’t kick many goals so Keitel might be the difference. 

Remember going up to Joondalup for a Perth Derby,2012 .. Something controversial happened at the end of the match.The West Perth members had a meltdown.And the East Perth coach Tony Micale gave it to the West Perth fans...

This was after some coward in the stand  threw a spoon which hit Booby in the head at a previous Derby,and he was instructed not to walk through the crowd to get to and from the coaches box,an at about the 30 minute of the last quarter they were 7 points in front and the inbreds in the stand really gave it to BOOBY in the box thinking the game was over,but we scrambled a point and right on the siren Ex Falcon  Josh Smith soccered one through and the game was a draw and the inbreds were stunned,and Booby defied instructions and walked thru the crowd and told them ''TO STICK THAT UP YOUR ARSE''which resulted in the jOONDALUP hierarchy making a formal complaint.

There's no dancing   around it todays effort  was pathetic and really questions why a supporter should bother backing up again the next week.

this year has been a huge fail.we have failed in the two r's.recruitment and retention.not only have we been able to improve our list we have lost players  like rudrum,gorter and hooper etc.the effort today was  pathetic.yes the oppostion played well but the skill level,intent was poor with players dropping easy marks.watts needs to come back.playing midgets in the backline doesn't work.unfortunately not too many knocking down the door from the ressies.obviously dobbo is injured so either sebit or merritt will come back.hopefully jones didn't get reported.time for edwards or amos to take ajang's place.he has gone backwards in a big way.as bad as our tall forwards are at the moment i think our small forwards .are of a bigger concern.just not contributing enough.hopefully ramsay and robbo back shortl to improve the midfield.
supporters were locked out from the club rooms after the game.so i suspect the coach is very angry. 

About 10 goals came from turnovers out of basic skill errors and for mine 5 or 6 regular league players just aren't up to it or at best very mediocre at this level,and at least youngsters like Cooley and Sparks have the class pace and size to be valuable league players,and i know a lot has been made of the gameplan,but even when they were given the simple instruction of playing man on man they still struggled and we really have gone backwards after building a solid platform in the first 2 years after the alignment.

yes players are  not following simple instructions.one forward was told  to stay in the square.this player kept .moving up to the wing.when we get the ball then we have no one to kick to.i agree about cooley and sparks.glad they didn't drop cooley.

As much I am loathe to comment I could not resist.

So given the comments it is down to the players when they are playing on on a taller bigger and as much as it hurts to say it better player like Keitel it is Taylor Norths fault, down to Jacob Msando or Fullgrabe for his 8 goals. So not selecting or moving players is not an option. Allowing opposition players free reign when a player last week tags the oppositions best defender down to a third of his normal possessions and is dropped. Berating a young EAST PERTH player but lauding players who get 30 possessions and turn the ball over constantly or do little or nothing with it is perfectly acceptable and fits the game plan and structure. 

Just proves the point one team had a game plan, knew our weaknesses understood what was required and we did not react, counter or do something to stop it.

And now have a call for Amos to be elevated when last week he wasn't good enough. 

We really do watch a different game!
