Lets just stack the Ressies and try and a get a flag of some description. Hard to find positives after qtr time.
So the club went with the kids after winning seven games last year and have gone backwards at a rapid rate, what do these floggings do to the confidence of the young kids ,some A grade amateur sides would beat Perth at the minute.

Mate your side deserves a bit of credit in that first quarter and a bit - it was a gutsy display and for me I reckon Earl Spalding deserves some time
Not naming your young’uns hoping they’'ll be overlooked for next years Demons
How long has Papertalk been at Perth?
Papertalk was at Perth early last year and then went away. He came back for preseason this year, put in the hard yards and has played some good football at ressies level and league level this season.
I was expecting a response this week after the East Fremantle game and after watching that first quarter I was pleasantly surprised at the level they were playing to.
I didn’t expect it to last though as I thought the class of South Fremantle would shine through in the end. What I did expect to last though was the basic dedication and application to the footy that after qrt time seemed non existent. I’m not accusing anyone of not trying but how can they play like they did in the first quarter and then dish up what they did for the other three.
In the last 8 quarters of footy we have played 3 good ones and 5 of the worst ever seen. Got to be above the shoulders - we crumble mentally under any sort of pressure and fall apart totally.
But I was still shocked to see we only touched the footy 256 times as a side - an average of what 13 per player!!! We went into game with an average of 327 so it was a shocker. Surely it has been a while since a team had such a low disposal count…

Zero pressure from South in the 1st buddy, that was the fact.
Fresh off my 2 week spell here,but not the football,the last 2 weeks for the League Team,have been Deadset SHAMEFULL,APPALLING,DISGRACFULL!
You name it,every bleeding adjective in the negative you can say about our mob should have been said.
DIABOLICAL was one word used by Percy on Monday Morning,amongst a few other things.If I didn’t have Match Day Duties,I probably would have given the players an Almighty Burst on Sunday,after holding my tongue at Moss St!
If anyone within the playing group and Football Department(including the President,CEO and Directo of Football))can figure out what the Hell is wrong with the League Team and Club,please act with Absolute Urgency will yers?
Because after the past 38 years,the Club can only take a little while longer,suffering this Terrible MEDIOCRITY!
Do something for Pity’s sake will you?
Try 39 years Grassy. Next years 40.
Not really counting '78 friend.
As lousy as that day was,that Team had Heart and Busted their Arse to bring home the Hat-trick.
It really started going Pearshaped since '79 on,with Thrashings and Turnarounds that weren’t happening the previous 3 years,told us that things were Rotten
The Club has singled out that angry supporter on Tuesday,getting a player,which didn’t matter who,to do their Dirty work for them.
But in reality,The Club should be Singled Out by the Supporters Big Time and Often until things Improve,Rapidly!
DO SOMETHING!!!
Welcome back Grassy
I’ll try to be a good boy,Mike.
Hang on,not when I’m watching the Goodies,watching Helga from Sweden,who has “not got a funny voice”.:lol: :silly:
That was 1982 by the way.Anything to keep us Poor Demons sane.:pinch: :silly:
What angry supporter would that be Grassy? Is this from last weekends game? Have I missed something here because I would have thought there was a lot more than one angry supporter.
Well from where I sat,there was an Almighty Outburst coming from within our 3/4 Time Huddle.
The Ground Announcer thought our Coach was going Ballistic and really,who could blame him.But I found out later,an angry chap went Berko at Earl.
Understandable Frustration,but wrong Target.
Before we move on from last week,I can’t let things pass without giving the Ressies a Salute for their TOP EFFORT in Winning by 8 Goals.
People can say what they want about Reserves Footy.
But No one can deny that the 22 who pulled on the Demons Guernsey with this TEAM deserve a Ton of Accolades for their All Round Great Footy.
I could name a few players,but for now,WELL DONE to ALL of you!
You did yourselves and The Club Proud last week against the Top of The Ladder Doggies!
Keep it going Fellas!:cheer:
