It starts at the top Freezin, you know that as well as anyone. You can wallpaper over the cracks and get a temporary result here and there but I'd say your clubs problems are deep rooted. Senior players not leading the way is a bad sign. I'm not crowing here because we've had a couple of good wins but there is a "everyone is on the same page/singing from the same hymn sheet" vibe at Lathlain atm and I believe it's lead by the senior coach and heavily driven by the senior players mostly a great bunch of recruits we have acquired over the last couple of years.

Masten, Grey, McInness, Fisher, Smith and the one i reckon is shaping as the recruit of the season, Haydn Busher. We paid a big quid to get him back but he has been enormous. All those others mentioned who have been out for long stints with injury are heavily invested in the club and helping out with coaching, mentoring even Brady Grey holding up the white board yesterday and had the headphones on during the game. It is brilliant to see, no one sulking feeling sorry for themselves and I think they are setting a great example to the young kids and some who have been around a while but probably haven't pushed themselves to get to the level.

Bill has been given license to make the big calls from day one showing George Hampson the door and if my memory serves correct there was some fallout from that. Three years is enough to put your stamp on the playing group. Sounds like Bokehorst and Kommer haven't really delivered.

Your guys had a real crack, so the effort wasn't the issue. East Fremantle only had 4 less inside 50s than Swans. Their style of play just seemed really inefficient and a leading forward similar to Jesse Palmer would give your mids something to aim for.  I enjoyed watching the battle between Strnadica and Gault. Both had a big influence on the game. Jonathan Marsh is certainly wholehearted in everything he does and throws himself into the fray regularly. Bit like a bull in a China shop though and inclined to give up cheap free kicks sometimes.

Leggett and 🐃 😂
 

Leggett tagged Fisher and kept him fairly quiet. He’s certainly been worth the Quill plus change price tag

freezin I trust freezin jnr enjoyed the result of the game.  Not sure how old he is, I hope you didn't make him buy his own dinner Saturday night.

Yeah but you would of though STT would of gotten over it by now though - especially with Mineral Resources having a cracking season and all winning 2 in a row and being in 5th spot. Wonder if Claremont supporters carry on like this? 

42, yep Freezin Jnr enjoyed the SD win mate, popped round post game before going off to his  Rugby League photography gig wearing a SD beanie.....at 22 mate, he usually fends for himself these days on the dinner front.

DD, hear what you are saying mate, Perth seem to be on the right path, I reckon Harry Taylor would of been a huge influence on match day, if he had signed on to play, like Busher, he would of been that cool head in a crisis, to help stem those 25 min brain fades which are killing EF at present....

Not sure anyone told Legs he was being recruited as your star tagger but I guess it was a one off and he’ll be playing off half back for port Adelaide or Melbourne next week anyway.

Legs was told he would have to play where the coach said but not sure if he really took it in though - he just seemed so desperate to get away from MRP. No idea why. Anyway I thought you would be celebrating the defeat of the fearsome looking demon killing garlic munchers - and on their home ground, A hoodoo nearly as long as your premiership drought I hear.

I don't think the garlic munchers tag is very applicable anymore,they willingly moved away from their heartland a quarter of a century ago.
