Mike, I presume you are aware that your backline has given up 1254 points to the opposition so far this season, which is 6th best, or if you are a pessimist,5th worst.

Hearing on the telegraph wire that the royals are paying a dollar 60c for the win. On the other side of the fence it's been said Swans are currently sitting on 2 $ 25c. 

WAG East Perth deserve to start favourites,at Leederville.
Weather been totally unpredictable in the last week.Half a dozen heavy showers a day.Lasting between 5 to 10 minutes.
Its now the wettest Winter/Spring since 1996.
East Perth v Swans second game this year was a great clashes.Swans have the job ahead of them today.Can see them being really competitive today.
Maby EP 15 points as they wait for Claremont in the GF

Well done to the Swans colts boys who won another final by less than a goal, thus qualifying for a preliminary final which ideally will be at Leederville

Fantastic win by the colts…13 points down with 5 minutes to go and then win with the last kick of the game. Gutsy mark from Cathcart.

The dockers footage is doing the rounds on X. Clarke in fairness should have gotten 1 week give or take but it was certainly over sold by Grey. Regardless the boys still have a job to do today

Another top class coverage by the SportFM commentary team.
Sounded like some poor ball handling by Swans was their enemy today, particularly just before half time. Going to have to improve next week against Claremont. Sounded like a good crowd was in attendance at the ground.

thought Swan Districts were gallant and kept at East Perth all day
but at the same time East Perth really didn't seem to get out of 3rd gear mostly
but they get to the final day in September anyway

well done East Perth. Too big, too fast and too strong.
From Swans point of view not too many positives out of today. I suppose we didnt give up but we never looked like coming back in the game after half time.
Too much left to Chalcraft and Rokahar in the absence of Turner and Clarke
Bewildering selection decision. When Glass Mccasker withdrew surely Germs would have been the emergency to come in instead of Erceg who was a passenger and made a number of errors. Germs would have at least helped Doc with the physical work against the man monster. Our forward line was one dimensional and over reliant on Kohlmann.
Hopefully Edwards can come back next week. Also I thought that we missed an opportunity to introduce Cartwright into the forward line. He needs to get picked next week. Chipper got 22 possessions but many of them were ineffective, same with Cipro.
We lost the game in a 10 minute period late in the 2nd quarter when East Perth piled on 4 goals, 2 of which were a direct result of poor decisions and turnovers by Notte and Pina

I hope this is the grand final and swans can get their stuff together a bit more.  The crowd was entertaining in itself.
