TOPIC:

Don’t have many over the past 4 decades but the one that stands out for me was round 18 1988 Leederville Oval Perth vs West Perth.
This oval is not a happy hunting ground for any Perth team and when Rob Wiley(captain Coach)team fell 43 points down at quarter time it looked like another Leederville Oval thrashing was on the cards.
Things didn’t get much better at half time Perth still 38 points down.
3rd quarter saw the home team bang on the first 2 goals to lead by a massive 51 points.
From that point on Perth kicked 16 goals to WP 2 the Demons getting up by 42 points slamming on 9 last quarter goals to finish 19-14. To WP 13.8.
A great win at a bogey oval for the Demons.

We were a big chance that year if we got a shot at East Freo, unfortunately were never going to be able to match it with Subi, ultimately limped into the finals and got belted by Swans.

86 maybe, Leederville v Claremont, late in the game West Perth roughly 40 points down. George Michalczyk poleaxed by Owen at the Tech school end. George stretchered off, West Perth turn it on for the next 12 minutes or so and come away with the win.

Vaguely recall some epic encounters against Swans at Subi oval, one when so called tough man Boucher took to Michalczyk, wasn't so keen when Ben Jager had a crack at him

Duckworth was the offending player with regard to the free kick that gave Mainwaring the shot on goal. It was a clothesline not out of place in the WWF. The umpiring too was also out of the wrestling. West Perth players were allowed to wander across the mark without risk of penalty and as the umpire had his back turned stole quite a few metres. Don't know who the umpire was but he certainly showed his colours that day.

Remember that game.Did a big West Perth ruckman called Rodjers take the mark.In all the Kaos.He was about 7 foot tall

The first quarter of the 1984 Grand Final was the closest thing to football heaven that I have experienced as a Swans supporter. You always dream about your team kicking 10 goals to nothing in a Grand Final but the fact that it actually happened made it my most memorable moment. Credit to EF for coming back and making a game of it after that as well. I'm sure that would have helped them 12 months later.

That was a memorable match. I will never forget sitting at home listening to the match on the radio completely stunned at quarter time. I was 10 years old at the time and had not even known of a side scoring 10 goals in a quarter - it seemed inconceivable to be happening at that moment in a GF of all matches. Quite incredibly East Freo responded with 9 goals 5 to 1.1 in the 2nd.

I can't confirm if it is true or not but i once heard that Toddy had told his players at 3 quarter time that they had blown it and the young Sharks having had a weeks rest and use of the breeze would over run them in the last.

Yeah mate they are from the Tammin-Cunderdin area.

Very good ruckman for us, only had a couple of seasons though, back problems if i recall correctly

2013, Grand Final- WP VS EP @Subiaco
This automatically comes to mind after ending the drought between premierships & belting the flogs from loton park in the process.

I also recall the draw the year before on foundation day and the day when east perth couldnt kick a major.
