I thought the players at EP fought it out today and with a bit more class- should’ve won. Certainly didn’t look like a team that had given up

KCEF yep we did well but I do not think it is just class we are lacking, your structure and ability to have players out on their own meant we were often chasing our tails, again! Well done to you and if Strandica held more marks the result would have been gone much earlier.

you've got no idea,thank god your toxicity isn't infecting the colts anymore.

I really appreciate your honest and forthright opinion of me, it is really good to see such comments from an obviously knowledgeable and insightful person. Your assessment is right on the mark as evidenced by the disdain and contempt for me shown by the players who came through the development and colts process at East Perth Football Club during my tenure. I wondered why no one talks to me or comes up to me at games and now with your insights I understand, thanks for your assessment.

Our playing group is very respectful to all its supporters Grump and very approachable.

Gee Grump, you give your heart n soul to a club...voluntarily....and that's how a fan of that club speaks about you.....obviously Grump is big and old enough to fight his own battles, but geez RL comments are pretty piss poor.....if Grump was as toxic as RL says, then Grump did well to stay involved at EP for as long as he did......

Ideally you would like every colt to progress to league level,but the sad reality is most of them aren't endowed with enough ability to do so,and you and they need to come to terms with that.Some of the reserve player names your putting forward for league selection are laughable to say the least,and they will never make the grade regardless of who coaches,and your probably there to fan the flames of discontent with those disgruntled players.
           Its always a pleasure to talk to John Wynne who is an ex WP premiership player, an ex SANFL coach and player, and has an outstanding football pedigree and helped the club in a mentoring capacity the last 20 odd years, and is an overall fountain of football knowledge,and  a very positive influence around the club.He has a very good grasp of where the club is at,and the task confronting our coach,but then again he would probably have a very HIGH football I.Q.

Freezin you need to go back to your ''Go beg me''page and buy some more players,if you have points left in your cap,because you played your full array of recruits yesterday and fell in against a battling side minus its best player.As for Grump he is on the periphery fanning the flames of discontent which is something that i heard is even happening at Shark Park with players unhappy with Billy Monaghan,so he is trying to be relevant in a very negative way,so go worry about your own backyard via the long white cloud.

If you resort to personal abuse on an online forum you have lost the argument.
I have been reading Grumps posts for a number of years and I have always found them fair, balanced and they give credit where credit is due.
If you have an axe to grind with him have the guts to front him personally rather than being a keyboard warrior.

LOL.....obviously that loss has cut you deep RL.....even from my long white cloud sofa mate I am pretty sure EF were missing two good recruits in  Schoenfeld and Chalmers mate....but I know both those fellas wouldn't even get a look in at EP....especially with all those Dean Turner CEO recruits on show yesterday...... hopefully Ramsay comes back soon mate....because without him you guys are farked TBH.....

Your not very observant,when we won 5 out 7 he went very quiet,and you name 1 instance when he's praised Barnard,and i first noticed this when we defeated the Falcons in 2019 which was a shock result,but he attempted to downplay with some innocuous comment,so i could see his agenda very early on in the piece,so anybody that knows me knows i have no problem with confrontation,so thank you for your input.

Hasn't cut me deep at all,it was a dead rubber,Schoenfeld and Chalmers i can't say they are names that ring a bell,do your rotorua ward mates know who they are????

I talk to the players abt their game never abt coaching or anything else. As for my discontent that is my feeling and have expressed in this forum something that I am at liberty to do as you are abt your support for the coach, it is called having a different opinion. I also ask after the world outside of football as I have always seen this taking an interest in them other than just being players at the club, it is about the whole person not just the player.

Yep it is heartening to see players make it through to league and yes some reach the level at colts, reserves and few can make it through! But there are players at reserves level who perhaps deserved the opportunity when the regulars weren't performing but again you have a different view.

John Wynne is a good bloke to talk to as are all of the coaches and development folk. It is good that ou can drop a name into the conversation. 

As I have said before anytime you want to step away from the keyboard stop trolling as you are on this site and the other royals noticeboard I happy to discuss any issue you may have, you know who I am I am the person who as you imply the one not liked and so will be standing by myself.
