I was at that game at the start of the second half and farrrrk it was cold and rained like f... Cleared up later by the time the league started. The conditions played into Swans hands, smaller quicker side. Perth were the dominant colts team throughout the season and finished on top from memory but were a big tall side.

I’d love to see the Perth colts GF line-up and see who went on after that.

I have a copy of the stats from the game. I'll scan it later and upload it so you can see who was in the Perth team

Cheers for that, only Perth player drafted out of that team was Joel Houghton who never made it. Matt Rogers and Hayden Busher were probably the best out of that team. Matt Rogers the only one still going unless Houghton goes around again this year for EP. Brett Hodge was a very good player but sustained a serious a serious wrist injury when he was at his peak and never recovered. Shut Walters down one day, one of the last games he played for Swans before he turned his career around.

Interestingly from the next colts flag that Cooper coached there were not as many drafted. Many of that team are now playing ammo’s at Bassendean with the likes of Daniels x2,Dino Ross,Levi Ridley,Sean Fletcher to name a few. Jacob Burnham also at Bassendean.

I see a few others from that side in Warwick Wilson,Tim Yorkshire and Nelson Ansey lining. Up for South Hedland this season.
