Obviously I would like EF to break their drought This year Smokes, but it ain’t happening. If Perth were to do it, it would be a huge boost for the WAFL as well. I think it would also inject a bit of credibility into the WAFL.

Since we seem to be indulging in some wishful thinking: a Swans Perth GF played at the premier Aussie Rules stadium in Perth in 2021.
In the Reserves competition, West Perth won the 1960 premiership then had to wait until 2014 to win their next one.
It also took Claremont 31 years to win their first flag in 1977. The Reserves began in 1946. Prior to 1977, Claremont had never played in a Grand Final, finishing third 4 times in 1951, 53, 57 and 70.

That is more likely than my wish, but EF v PFC would be a lot more “romantic”.

I suppose that is a matter of one’s perspective?
[quote=“royallucky post=206470”]and the heavily outnumbered ancient greek naval fleet defeated the might of the Persian King Xerxes in the famous 480bc Battle of Salamis sea battle,if we really want to go back in time,but i promise you this we’ll win our next flag before you do.

you just research how many times you have aligned with the eagles to get yourselves out of the $hit…pathetic!!!
and by the way dont make promises ya cant keep
The first alignment was a partial alignment Strongbow after Claremont ditched the first one,but you wouldn’t know that,but if you like bring your wallet the next time we play you at leederville and we’ll see who’s talking shit you dribbler.
Subi’s 49 year drought record still stands, 1924 to 1973, only the D’s are within spitting distance.
A sober reminder of what we once were and hopefully will never be again.

Only being able to win at home - is that something picked up from the Eagles?
It looks as if Swans and Perth have spent their recruiting cash and points well Tim Tam unlike your mob who don’t seem to be doing as well and it doesn’t appear as if your getting as much bang for your buck which is very bad news considering you’ve maxed out your points cap,but your quite welcome to get your wallet emptied out as well.

Hell RL, I don’t normally stick my nose into a one on one argument , nor do I get personally abusive like you, but it still remains that your earlier flags belong to the EPEFC.
Bet Abba"s “Money Money Money” was EP theme song back in those alignment premiership winning days RL…liked it so much they dipped their snouts in the WCE trough a second time…with less premiership success sadly…but still plenty of Abba being played on match day…
I’m going over old ground Mr Freeze but as iv’e said before local AFL listed players were still tied to their original WAFL club like an Andrew Embley was still playing with Swans if he ever got dropped,and i believe we were still in the red when we came out of the first alignment and if we weren’t why didn’t we recruit strongly after the Barnards,Wheatleys,Devon Perrys,Turnbulls,Aaron Marley’s,David Swan,Holman retired and state utility player Troy Butcher,went to Port Adelaide,Paul Ridley went back to Subi,why did’nt we recruit strongly after the list was decimated in 2004 if we had bucketloads of cash???anyway this argument is getting very stale just like your decrepit facillities,and next time before you get a budding recruit in the boardroom to sign on the dotted line,put a blindfold on him or a Balaclava over his head before he signs on the dotted line,because no one in their right mind would want to play at that eyesore.

i found the word shit abusive ''58 and responded with dribbler which to me is a lot milder.
More than a few people have told me a third alignment is being negotiated at the moment. More on East Perth’s terms but obviously the death of the EPFC. And the WAFL without EP is crap anyway.

a third alignment…gotta laugh
as royal 2019 rightly puts it…the death of EPFC!
goin dribble on that
The death of the the WAFL too.
To pinch a line from the U.S.orange man, ‘‘Fake News’’
No definitely not CNN it’s been discussed at the highest levels of both clubs. What stage it’s at now I have no idea. Obviously the Eagles are super keen but I think Bronte will struggle to get the numbers on this one.
Theres no justification for it,you can’t manage 12 to 14 mediocre AFL listed players without tearing the fabric of the club,especially when you’ve got money sitting in the bank,and i would rather see the club fold than go down that path again,and i can’t see Barney Kowtowing to anyone.
RL think you need to speak to Bronte why EP had no cash after the WCE parachute payments ended post alignment one…I guess that’s why Bronte headed back into another alignment a decade later…but yeah mate happy to move on argument wise…come end of the day it’s only money…hopefully when EF gets it new build in a few years, you will give it your seal of approval…hopefully EPFC will be alive and kicking then as well to pop down and use the new digs on a Saturday arvo…I guess the former is a given, the latter not so…
