Any Cardies supporters here? I’d be interested in how you see your team. Seems to me they just on the edge of something good.
The off-season?

They’ll be having a Testimonial Day for Aaron Black on August 22nd and rightly so,be it Game 300,301,304 or 305.
Aaron deserves EVERY Falcon and Cardie at Heart to be there and whilst that spells trouble for my Demons,at the very least there should be a BUMPER CROWD at Arena Joondalup,regardless of what’s happening in the AFL.
Take your devices with you please folks,if you must watch AFL that Saturday.
Perth supporters should get there as well for Corey Byrne’s 150th and Salute another Club Legend,who stuck with his Club when things were tough.
They both have,so Roll Up for this Big Day Cardies,Falcons,Redlegs and Demons!
I reckon John Townsend has spent more time on air talking about how many games Aaron Black has played than any other media has spent talking about Harley Reid. Unfortunately Matt you allow it to continue no wonder you’re always saying sorry for those who tried to get through and those text messages I couldn’t read out we’ve run out of time.
Yeah,he has.
But that’s hardly Aaron Black’s fault,it’s Football Bureacracy who Won’t come out in Public and explain why those 4 Foxtel Cup Games shouldn’t count.
That responsibility falls mainly on the Football Commission,which unfortunately West Perth’s Suits seem duty bound to toe the line on that score.
West Perth have a history of doing this.
With an allmost identical squad.They will probably make finals in 2027.
The best example of this was 1974-75
Bottom in 1974.And won the Grand Final in 1975 by 104 ,points.
Don’t forget that WP finished 2nd in 1973 losing the GF to Subi.
Hardly a similar comparison to WP from ‘23 onwards

Good pick-up with 1973
1981-82
1978-79
TT WP’s zone is almost as strong as Claremonts
They will be back in 2027
Daylight still second to Claremont but yes WP next best metro zone apparently though maybe EF making a comeback with their U16 representation absolutely dominant.

1980 WP just missed the Top 4 by 2% winning 11 games.
1977 WP finished 3rd with 14 wins and lost the prelim final narrowly to EF.
Strong team with a 1 year drop off before rebounding the next year.
This is different for WP it’s a complete rebuild with a good young list (under 23) a definite gap in their 25-28 year old talent that should be the backbone of your squad and too many over 30s trying to hold on
They recruited in depth players over the last few seasons not A Graders, they’ve also struggled to keep key players on the field since 2023 and the results or lack of have followed.
Some big decisions to be made at seasons end for WP. Hopefully Sanzone gets better support from the CEO and Board than Salecic did.
You reap what you sow!

Claremont, East Freo, Subiaco, West Perth probably top 4 metro zones
WP Posters seem to have completely gone from this site.
Leedy, Cardie, few others all gone.
Winger puts up the occasional post and there was a guy called the Feds who posted regularly last year but everyone else has gone it seems
Told by the WAFC chair WP is now the second best metro zone then EF.
Would be close - love to know what he bases that on though
Sharks supporters few and far between here nowadays as well.
Has Freeze pulled the plug?
He pops in here now and then.
Yes i’ve noticed a decline in postings. Not having a dig at anyone, far from it. There are knowledgable people around.
It does seem to be the same few members, ommenting on various subjects.
Yes, SFFC seems to be just down to me and Southy now.
