Might just have to stick that 2016 GF win on again to ease my woes then DD after that WBD loss.....pity you couldn't do the same after Freo's loss to GCS a week back.....actually might watch that EF 98 GF win as well.....not sure TV was even around when Perth won their last flag DD.....keep posting DD u r cheering up my weekend no end.....good luck to Freo v St Kilda today....

High expectations..started well, then lost the way - old head-space crept in
Skills need improving
Big men need to actually HOLD onto their marks . small men need to run-run-run and know their purpose
lost confidence in EACH OTHER sadly.
Heard the 3rd Qtr coach address - saw the changes the coaches made , saw a team of try-hards in the 4th - much better effort and the rot began to stop.

Still much to believe in and more importantly much for the players to strive for and learn (some supporters could learn a thing or two..

Last thoughts
Boekhurst - Rusty , can see his past skills surfacing - time will help and looking forward to his step back up.
Manning - Rusty BUT keep him on the ball - the 4th Qtr efforts and outcomes altered severely with the changes made by the coach I felt. - Manning wasted in the forward line at this stage.

Just worry about your own club Freezin. They are well on their way to matching, maybe even eclipsing our darkest days. 2500 - 3000 at Mineral Resources Park yesterday, bowling green playing deck, HJ's moniker on the jumper $$$.

DD....EF are 20 years behind "matching" Perth's darkest days mate LOL.......even then..... this forum and the comp as we know it will be dead and buried when that happens anyway......everyone knows WCE have "helped" Perth not only with their digs but their new sponsors........why would HJ after 40 years of utter failure, finally jump on the Perth Footy club band wagon now?....but hey kudos to Bobby Shields and the boys down at the PFC for gritting their teeth, clenching or perhaps oiling their butt cheeks and inviting Nisbet et al inside.....business is business "come"end of the day.....think PFC is on a winner here....wish you guys all the best....well n truly overdue.

Any chance we try to stay on topic and out of others pockets and/or backyards??

Why? Most of us enjoy a bit of banter after waiting 6 months for the season to come around.

FIN...nothing more else to say on the game....your comments summed it up pretty succinctly I believe.....Boekhorst and Murdock in v Subi perhaps.... along with another defender from the reserves..couple to drop out no doubt...tough ask v Subi....all EF fans want is a competitive effort for longer from the team.....and a few more goals too..LOL....easier games to come after the Subi one.....

I guess if getting your WB 2016 premiership DVD out and finding comfort in in your clubs failures being 20 years behind mine gives you solace in your clubs darkest hour then I don't want to deny you that Freezin. Maybe I'll keep the recording of our big win over the Eagles yesterday when my club next cops a flogging.

Fin no doubt Freezin agrees with your assessment having been there and witnessed the game. Lol

I'm just bemused that your spending time commenting on other WAFL clubs (EF and Subiaco) rather than the home of the mighty Demons - they did have a win, maybe you can jump on there and offer up your congrats to all involved. Perhaps offer up some encouragement too, that wouldn't go amiss seeing's its been such lean pickings over there at Lathlain for so long (or burgers are better at Hungry Jacks weagle park, whatever its called these days). Glad too the banter is back, and after another disappointing start to a season it is always refreshing to hear about it from Perth supporters. Ever the authority if there was one, knowing about bad starts that is in the state of Western Australia.

You will find I was one of the first to post after the victory Ooolll if you look hard enough. I in fact was trying to extract some comment from you Shark supporters, understandably feeling gutted but even in defeat us Perth supporters usually vent something out. Looks like my post on here had the desired effect.
