I was referring to our efforts off the field over the past 20 years.
Unlike some clubs we have been responsible and worked our own way back from the brink.
So much so we are now one of the strongest clubs financially.
Would have thought you have more chance of disappearing up your own arse.
So go away and grab a brain.
PFC can hold it’s head up high when it comes down to the fact that we were diabolically in debt once upon a time. No-one came to help us then. We dealt with it. No 4 cents in the dollars settlement just good old fashioned money management and fiscal responsibility. Fiscal? For the uneducated that means we lived within our limited means year by year. We are now a financially strong club that is the envy of most clubs yet we intend to remain fiscally responsible in the long term.
Off-field we still have big problems but are trying to work through those. The big thing is that we remain financially responsible and will not just throw big money away. We must remain astute yet prudent when it comes down to that.
I really believe that we are close to a return to form. We put together 5 good quarters and then fell over in second half today which was extremely disappointing but…I think that we are just taking some time to get our best team selected and gelling. I think that it’s great that Martin and zed had hauls in the 2s and Gordy got some good stats as did Horan and Hansen. The answers are in there, just got to get it right. Imagine Gordy getting 20 touches in a league game and someone will bob up with s 5 goal haul. Or a 4, ok I’ll take a three!!!

Im more than happy to stay off this thread with your miserable sorry arses always getting stuck into your players and coaches. You lot eat your own, thats something we never have done at WP, only where warranted
I’m still trying to work out how a team can drop off in intensity and effort over 20 minutes of half time. That third quarter was diabolical and it was just waves of WP running through the middle. Granted some smart moves by Valentine but our midfield work rate to pressure WP’s forward entry just dropped off and they just ran into that forward line without a much resistance in the third quarter and that’s concerning.
I thought Coniglio did another good job this time on Knott. All our best players behind the ball again. A worry.
Having said that they played some great footy in the first half and I fancy our chances against the SF slingshot brand.
Agree Daz Coniglio has been good in his 2 league appearances so far apart from the short pass on the kick out that was marked by a WP player who converted. There should be a rule at the club. No new recruits are allowed to do the kicking out duties, Chris Bryan has had some clangers also.
But seriously we need bigger bodies up front. Colledge is wasted camped up forward for mine, I suspect he might not be 100% fit but I think we need to roll the dice with Chris Martin who’s been brought in from Subi, booted 4 on the weekend and maybe Zareth Roe. Cody Ninyet will be lucky to hold his place IMO. He just doesn’t have an impact.
Bennell has lost his radar and needs to find it in a hurry but at least he’s having a crack.
Yep, why not, probably time to give skinny young Martin a go. This is when we needed Blake Johnson available.
It’s not like we struggle to get it in there. We won the inside 50s but it just turns to pus once it goes over the 50m line. Langdon looked our best forward all game.
Not helped by WP getting kissed on the bellend by the maggots. 24-6 frees. FMD. They hate us.
All I can suggest is you blokes stay in West Coasts arse and eat a shit load of Hungry Jacks or you will end up in our situation, 100%.

Lol we were never in debt prior to WC moving to Lathlain so we can hold our heads high we never had to bend our arse over to the administrators and beg for mercy for being irresponsible flogs. West Perth, Italy and Greece all financial basket cases we see the link. It’s in your DNA. :lol:

WTF is with the racial slur? WP won on the day and have had our number for many years. Saturday had nothing to do with their financial situation, they obviously have a better football department and flogged us on the day. Their footy department recruit Lourey, whilst ours recruit Spencer White - that is the difference. Not their financial wows or their ethnicity.

Well good on you for being sucked in to the PC ideology. Always a convenient way to side track a debate.
I agree the third quarter was terrible. Cary’s miss just before half time was crucial. It would have put us 4 goals plus up at half time. Instead of us getting the goal WP kick a morale booster right on half time.
Payne did a good job on Nelson but WP had plenty of others causing headaches. Black, Manzone and Riddoch all seemed to be running free.
And if you went into the game knowing Andrew Strijk will be held goalless you would think we are winning this game. I think it was Mathew Taylor who kept him quiet, correct me if I’m wrong.
Geez considering White came off an AFL list and Lourey came off a VFL list, pretty sure without a crystal ball most footy departments and fans,would be,saying recruit the ex AFL footballer…not sure that is the best example to use for Perth’s piss poor recruiting…
Heard a few people say he had no heart in the VFL comp as well. I think we saw stars re: tall target that made it onto a AFL list and we may not have done due diligence.
