West Perth v Perth

WAFL Perth
41

I reckon the Perth coaches dream run has come to a grinding halt. Not good signs today, it was only my second game for the year and it is hard to imagine how we’ve won 5 out of 7 before today and come within a kick of beating Claremont.

The midfield got absolutely creamed, O’Sullivan and Bateman didn’t play but bloody hell there isn’t much depth in the reserves either who were on top before today and lost to bottom of the ladder WP today.

Don’t understand the big wraps some have put on Kierian Hug on here, doesn’t look anywhere near ready for league football. What’s happened to Daniel Murray? Didn’t play in the two’s either today.

From what you are saying Johnno it was a disappointing day at the office. Should be back in the winners circle next week against the ducks at home.

1 Loss isnt a season.. Maybe it was just a bad hair day :frowning: Sure Perth got some positives out of this one and sure the coach will analyze where you went wrong..
WP certainly clicked to day and it would of been the same with any team we played. Except maybe CLA - But lets not go there :ohmy: You certainly got to within 5 points of them.
Long way to go.. I thought it was going to be a lot closer myself.
Next meet with us will be in Moora I think Perth home game.. Glad its not at Lathlain… B)

Good to see Stacky kick another bag. Shocked at the reserves result but maybe a good reality check for the 1’sts. Looking forward to next weeks game against Swans which hopefully confirm today was just a glitch.

FFS your effen quick to sink the slipper in
West Perth aren’t second on the table for no reason
On their home deck, they were always going to be hard to beat
Every team has their off days
They won 5 from 7 because they are hard it and have a belief in one another

Terrible outcome today. Not a great crowd either.

Bevan, Jacobs, Hodge, Risol - Great.

Florio, White, Sketcher, Eyres, Boyle - Solid.

Ali Smith clearly injured.

Ransted, must be on his last legs. Houghton to replace him.

Reimers had a day to forget, could not play that bad again. But he must start getting a hard ball instead of running off his opponent.

Hug found out the difference between league and Resies. He looked timid as well. May deserve another chance.

Ash Smith had a great running ball but has absolutely no presence or pressure on the field.

Busher beaten and I would be majorly concerned if he is not happy (and therefore dropping his head) that he is not center half forward.

McInnes down today after 3 or 4 good games.

Stack. - Well it would be nice if he could switch on from the start of a game.

Tedesco. (one of my favorites) down today. Looked to be short of breath. Flu?

Sinclair did some ok things but turned it over too often.

Johnston did not impress but it was his first.

Moody failed to follow up on last week.

More talk needed from all. Maybe a good wake up call for the Ressies.

Saw Florio being carried off after the game with what was said an ankle. He looked in a lot of pain.

Umpires favored WP but who cares.

47

Followed the results online. Promising start with Colts winning. Reserves dropping another game to a lowly placed team. Seem to make a habit of it now. First Peel now WP. League obviously outplayed on the day by a better side who deserve 2nd spot. Trick is now to turn it around next week and get back to what we accustomed to. The sides chasing us all dropped their game today as well so no real harm done to staying entrenched in the 4. Good teams bounce back so the opportunity awaits to rectify next week at home.

48

Perth looked great last week against Subi (I know we’re struggling and not up to the WP standard) but they applied pressure all day. Surely WP aren’t that much better than Perth and it’s more a matter of playing good footy for a while and having a bad hair day ?

Riemers was hard at it against Subi and played realy well I thought so surprised he wasn’t committed today. I was impresed with Busher last week and he was in the backline for a while I thought ? Stack only turned it on for half a game last week and still got 6 of the best and was the match winner but if he does that every week you gotta be happy ??? He may be the sort of player that’s only going to have a few touches here and there but a major influence on games ? Looks like Moody was shut out of it against the Cardies or was he injured ?

I wouldn’t going making too many changes if I was Perth - You can’t loose form from one bad game - there’s still a lot of footy to go this season.
Was surprised that bottom beat top in the ressies - That doesn’t happen very often

49

Well said. Btw. I hope it doesn’t sound like I don’t like the Bush as a player but some one close to him intimated that he would prefer to be playing Forward. This person could be guessing, bullshitting or misinterpreting. Go Bush.

Were you even there? I suspect not! Secondly we were equal second and not far behind on percentage. We were about 9 goals down at one stage and they were toying with us, think it was something like 13.12 to 5.7. They obviously took a breather when they knew they had the game sewn up and Stacky was able to find some space and make the scoreboard look respectable. WP haven’t been going that great, their supporters weren’t exactly cock-a-hoop going into the game.

FFS Swedgen you are becoming one of the sensitive ones, you haven’t joined like the purple circle have you?

51

Never seen a Perth supporter happier with a loss. Is this you Demons Den? If so why the name Derek? But hey no hard feelings please com to more games than two from eight.

52

Gee I didn’t know it was a crime to have a different username when joining a different forum? How many former usernames did you have TFAF? I reckon this is about your 4th in 2 years, nice going. Another weirdo. I don’t have to explain my reasons for not attending more games, I thought you would be happy? Some people aren’t happy because you don’t go, others say stay away. I would say this, some Perth supporters have too much to say about others and get very defensible about any criticism, regardless whether it is accurate or warranted or not. There wasn’t a lot to be positive about today as your previous post highlights. LACK OF EFFORT from a number of players today. Mind you after listening to the 3qtr time speech I thought about going home and mowing the lawn. Bring back Stan Magro!

Umpires favored WP but who cares? You do or you wouldn’t have mentioned it. By the way the demons won the free kick count once again. I would assume they missed a lot to the demons.

56

Jonno,
I was 1977 and Lathlain 1977 both cancelled with footygoss or lost to WAFL online/
Btb. I had the unfortunate experience of having to tell a Perth supporter to pull his head in today in regard calling the umpire/umpires maggot/maggots.
In the first instance he did not hear me as I called his name incorrectly. In the second instance he just appeared perplexed that I should mention it. I will add I have mentioned it socially and in person to this same person that it is not appropriate.
Both were in the first half. I mention it on this forum in the faint hope he will see my post and understand it.
Umpires do not matter if one is better, harder , fairer and more disciplined than the opponent.

Wow, fair reality check there yesterday. Blown off the park for the majority of that game by a WP outfit that was really impressive with their hard running and precision by foot. Best performance I’ve seen from a WAFL team this season. Our mob just never had any space to get clear possession and they consistently made us over use the handball trying to set up the loose man. Lost count of the number of times WP had players free ahead of the play. Forward line looked impotent for the first time this year.

Be interesting to see how they back up after that.

58

Handball Happy is the way I would describe Perth’s performance yesterday Dazz and there is no reason why the forward line should have been impotent. McInness, Busher, 2 ruckmen who spent time up forward, talls down back, Bevan and Stack in great form. That should have been a game where we really made a statement but the reality was we were blown off the park. Too many players not committed to the contest and WP ran harder all day and were able to find a lose player every time they had the football.

59

Dazzler i reckon if our forward line fails and McInnes has an off day effictively we dont have anymore tall KPs that are genuine type forwards that can fill that role.
Hopefully we are not expecting Stack and Bevan to kick the winning score each week.

When the game was shot to pieces yesterday and it was early on i would have swung McInnes to the backline and thrown Risol up forward just after half time just to mix things up.

Good teams bounce back after a horror game and i like many other supporters will be curious to see how the players respond next week.

Is Murray injured as i believe he is our number one ruckman,his size and bulk gives us an onfield presence!!

Purple circle?
No chance of that for me
I’m sure you get a warped satisfaction when Perth get beaten.
Myself and others here have had a go at the players and the coach the past, but unlike you are prepared to acknowledge the improvement.
Anyways didn’t you jump off while McMahon’s in charge?
Peel is more your go, given your interest in Fremantle
:lol:
