TOPIC:

Subiaco v Claremont
very even looking battle
will it come down to a goalkicker popping up?

Subiaco by 7 points 

East Fremantle v Mandurah
again it will depend on what AFL is released above all else
and this game is being played at a ground that both sides are not all that familiar with although Mandurah have a better recent record there

until everyone knows the AFL release
it will be a TBC

could be a wildcard development for the week
it appears East Fremantle CEO has resigned - not yet fair to say it is connected with the TPP investigation but it is not very good timing and will be a distraction

If the free kick count goes on last week.
Claremont 26 v Subi 12.
Subi are out in straight sets.
Subi will be up for the fight.
Sharks v Peel will be interesting 
Lots of stuff going on with EF ,atm.Looks  a tight match probably a, 50/50 match.

Subi need to win for their coaches. 

Subiaco have forwards that could kick bags - could come down to whether they can be hit up

Southerner: Yep absolutely true mate-- do sides practice leading these days?

training methods have changed a hell of a lot - I would hesit to say unless there were some set plays or fitness tests that would be a no
There are a lot of "rolling maul" type drills if you can understand that mate

Not sure the coaches are in any trouble even if we do lose on Sunday. After a very disappointing 2022 where we had a lot of injuries the team and the coaching panel have done a pretty good job as not many had us even making finals this year, but with the injection of a number of young players we have done ok. Been a bit inconsistent at times but thats due to the number of youngsters in the group, that should improve next year with a season under their belts plus we will have Hayden back from injury, Locks with a full pre-season and the possibility of getting Clark and maybe Menagola back.

That being said, having finished 2nd (via %) i'll be pissed off if we don't at least get a crack at a prelim.
 

teams are out for the 2nd Semi - and East Fremantle can expect a fair array of chin music from Mandurah with the stuff going on this week , the week off might not exactly help things

Why?? Mandurah got caught red handed giving a player cash- as well as another cash payment to the O'Briens years back - not sure they've got a leg to stand on!
