TOPIC:

Wrensted 1985 GF 30plus disposals and 3 goals playing as a centre man and the umpires give it to one of the back pockets from the losing side.

every time South went the knucle, or should I say Malcolm Brown instructed them to go the biff, they lost. IN 1980, what a difference.

Keene dominatted that much in 1988 that he brought other players into the game, including Cocker and Jones; the other two ruckmen, in the side, they kicked three or four goals between them because the Tigers were trying to control Keene.

Looking at it from a different perspective.
The Team.

I've always thought that one of the most resilient teams of the modern era were denied a hat trick in 1978.
The Perth side a of 1970's were so resilient with their never say lost attitude.
Winning many games from a long way back.

But on Grand Final day 1978 they were up against 2 gods.
One pissing down with rain at the wrong time.
The other playing and coaching EP.

I think the last quarter exemplified their resilience despite the torrential rain to fight back like they did was outstanding.
They were a great side.

Where did it all get lost for the Demons DF?
Was it when Ken Armstrong stopped coaching or certain players leaving?

9 retirements didn't help.

Peter Boustow should have won the simpson there is no about it.

They had lost quite a few players even before Ken Armstrong was sacked mainly to Victoria; generally, Armstrong, appraently tried to prevent such loses beecause it drainned the club of talent; Others, at the club, felt differently, it seems, and preferred to take the money in trasfer fees.

Peter's effort particularly in the last quarter was one the great individual efforts.
I think he kicked 7 that day.

It was a great GF but unfortunately we were on the wrong side of God.

The one great disappointment for me was 1970.

We were 100/1 on favourites.

And got done.

Shit poop etc etc etc ........

Life can really be a bitch .......
