Well...here we are.  I did some research earlier and found that since coming into the competition in 1997, Peel finished in the bottom two on 16 occasions during the 17 years before aligning with Freo in 2014.  In 2015 they went straight up to third and won flags in 2016 and 2017.  Pretty damning stats for the WAFC and also the handful of Peel supporters around the place on just how much they rely on Freo players.

This weekend I'll be barracking for the Sharks but my head says FART to win their third flag 8 years.

Premiers:  Peel by 15 points
Simpson Medal: Will Brodie.

And sadly, there is simply no interest in it around my locality.

the AFL shit will win it - everything seems to point that way

I Reckon the Sharks will win it. Peel have had no break in the finals series whereas East Freo will be well rested. That will offset the advantage of the AFL players fitness level. Sharks by 12 points.

Think you’re right BC.  You blokes are owed another 2 flags….as if the commission gives an oriental fk.

I really hope you're right Mike as I can't stand the pricks mainly because their delusional supporters insist it's Peel winning the flags and not Freo in drag. 

Winner: EF
Margin: 25 points

Looks like the Sharks are doing a great job.Selling tickets and promoting the Wafl GF.Was a wonderful day for the Wafl ,last year.
Its the last game of footy at Optus in 2023.In a crap year for our AFL sides.

Peel by 22, Brodie for Simpson.

BC those stats show the real situation down at Centrelink stadium, anyone who thinks it's a level playing field and that Peelmantle are a real WAFL team are in cloud fairyland. They are permitted 12 listed players which is still a joke, (imagine fronting up to 16 & 17 in a GF) maybe they take the average number of listed players who played over the H & A and that should be the limit.

The Sharkies have the size and talent to beat Freo but they will have to play to their absolute potential for 4 qtrs to win, If they dont have around a 4 goal lead at 3/4 time they may be in trouble. They beat them, just, in the 2nd semi after a weeks rest, same situation tomorrow but have a couple of good ins to help the cause. Perfect day for footy tomorrow, so go the Sharks in the league, SD in the ressies and Perth in the colts. If they get near 20k it will be a triumph.
