You're entitled to your opinion. Perth won 10 out of 20 last year and the squad is in better nick this year than last, so I'm optimistic. Yeah maybe Ali will be at Swans. Good call.
Sketcher was a bit underdone when he arrived and I think the big grounds took some getting used to but he was a every consistent performer and probably came top 10 in the Butcher. He was very well liked too and was disciplined. He would have been even better this year with a full pre-season...
In the case of both Kyle Reimers and Jack Sketcher, their long term girlfriends elected to stay in Victoria throughout last year. In hindsight that was never going to work and in future, I don't think the club would recruit interstate players who have long term partners unless the partners also...
Perth won 10 out of 20 last year. We've lost McInnes, Tunbridge, Colledge, Butler, Ash Smith (all West Coast Eagles AFL or reserves), Ali Smith, Kyle Reimers, Jack Sketcher, Michael Mather and maybe Matthew Tedesco. We've gained all three Morton brothers and a few more recruits who will be...
Agree with Flood and Thorne. Overall a very positive day for Perth. The reserves beat last years premiers very comfortably. We matched Claremont until we were down to 16 players versus 22. And we have players like Leon Davis, Simon Tunbridge, Daniel O'Sullivan, Haydn Busher, Julian Jacobs, Rob...
Just read on the net that Brian Leys is leaving the club and going back to Port Adelaide where he played a few seasons and won premierships. Seems like he's put Perth in a good position for 2012. Shame he can't hang around to see if we deliver on-field. I hope we can find someone else who can...
Ross young captain. Neon Leon and Paul Bevan vice captains. The club must be very impressed by Paul Bevan in such a short time. Great sign. I guess JKT will get his chance in a year or two.
I think the Eagles were scared to take on the mighty demons at the House of Pain (Lathlain). Don't blame them. I guess all the other WAFL teams already have something organized, so I guess another intra-club game is on the cards
I'd love to see Leon take on the captaincy. Jared K-T would be another option as he's regarded as super-professional.
Dockersman dead right about Dean Dick. Don't think he'll be seen again. What a shame.
I heard that Leon Davis is doing all the right things in terms of training etc. He looks like he would have the propensity to pork up if he stopped training. So that's good news
His old man had a huge heart when he played for Perth. When the chips were down he would be the guy who would find something extra. He didn't seem to have the desire for AFL but he played his heart out for Perth. IMO he was in the top 3 players to pull on the guernsey since the last premiership.
That's great news. I went to a function at the club at the end of the season and Jarrod Kayler Thomson said the players were trying to talk Siekerka into playing. Do you ever hear anything about Dean Dick? His dad was a gun.
All Perth supporters, get on board this year.
Demons have recruited the following AFL players for this year: Leon Davis (all Australian 2011 Collingwood), Paul Bevan (Sydney Swans premiership player, left end of 2011), Alistair Smith (St Kilda 2011), Simon Tunbridge (GWS 2011, now West Coast...
