TOPIC:

Well yesterdays results were very good for Perth. East Perth a much bigger threat to Perth's top 5 chances than Peel who have a terrible %. Subi have probably snuffed out any chance of Swan's making it now. Swans will hopefully do Perth a favour and beat Claremont in the last round. GO SWANS.

All that said - the ball in now in Perths court - Must beat Claremont this week.

Exactly TFF. Definitely the match of the week and Perth's final Home game for this season.
Perth play their last two fixtures Away, whilst Claremont's last 2 games is 1 at Home and one Away.
Claremont would be confident of winning their last two matches.
Whilst Perth's last 2 matches are considerably more difficult.

Fantastic finish to the season a heap of teams in the mix and if yesterday's game at Freo
Is anything to go by some real nail biters , the most important thing is East Perth and Peel
DONT make it hopefully Claremont and Perth make it.

Its not our fault you are utter crap, 3 derbies a year have been played for ever and a day.

Bazza very true mate.....never said SF don't deserve finals footy, just saying playing one side good or bad, 3 times instead of 2, shouldn't blatantly influence an 18 game season......SF are a good footy side, who clearly prove their worth for finals footy each and every year, regardless what the fixtures throw up......let's just hope they can get their act together in the finals, instead of bombing out before the big dance.....same as EF need to get their act together during the H&A season.....

interesting fact though Bazza, since the birth of WCE in 87, SF have won less GF than a crap EF side and only played in one more GF, in that time,than your utter crap neighbours....a stat I found to be amazing TBH....thought SF had done better TBH....but you are right tho, EF are crap.....and to win 3 flags in 31 years is appalling....not sure what to make of winning two though in 31 years?

We have one wooden spoon in that time,,,how many have you won?

How often have you played finals in last 20 years?

Freez….don't forget 7.26 mate...it could have been 2 GF's and 2 flags in the last 20 years

Bazza…..you and I know the answers to both those questions mate.....like I said SF are a great side, way more successful than EF over the past 20 years, not disputing that......though in that time you guys have won one more flag than EF....so true you guys are playing finals way more than EF, just really thought you guys had won more flags or even appeared in more GF in that time.....considering you have been a strong player wise I was just surprised that SF have only won 1 more flag in the last 20 years to EF one flag(be that 20 years ago...LOL) and appeared in 4 GF to EF 3........hardly earth shattering results, considering EF have been as you say utterly crap......yeah good on SF for making finals a lot....means fark all if you don't win a flag come end of the day...isn't that what all clubs strive/play for?....like I said not putting SF down, just thought considering how strong they have been over the past 20 years on the park, plus off the park by owning their ground, had Freo help improve their facilities, just surprised you haven't won more flags and even played in more big dances.......

true BC...plus that Foxtel GF loss to West Adelaide by a couple of points kicking just as poorly....but hey that's footy and sums up EF last 20 years......just not good enough

freezin specifically, unequivocally and unambiguously Gavin Taylor said the extra two games would be between traditional rivals and the other game would be between teams that finished in the same third. Subiaco finished first and Swans finished 4th. So that would not fit into what Gavin Taylor said would happen. So the only conclusions one could reasonably come up with is that either Gavin Taylor deliberately LIED or is completely INCOMPETENT.

42 are you also aware 5 of our last 7 games vs Subiaco have been at the Centre Of Effluent Leederville Oval?!
