The Perth Thread - Part 4

[Spirit Level]

Hope most of this rain is refilling the aquifers. We are so lucky to have clean drinking water from the tap in Perth, it was a real eye opener when I realised that's not the norm (looking at you USA)

I have no problem with Margetts. Except when he is umpiring Derbys.

I'm going to the game just so I boo this campaigner one more time, I'll be spitting like a Alpaca.

 

[JackOutback]

Interesting spin from AFL as always. He "informed the AFL Umpiring Group he would be retiring". Which is true, after they told him they wouldn't be giving him a contract.

1 extra free kick a match?

They are rookie numbers compared to West Coast

1 extra free kick a match?

They are rookie numbers compared to West Coast

Guaranteed they would be mostly
-In the backline
-Once we were unwinnablely behind
-In the last quarter

Freo fans really are just St Kilda fans that haven't been cellared long enough.

Anyone know if Mazenod College is a good footy school?Rank jr landed a scholarship to go there.

Can't be that good if you've never heard BT state "Player X from the Mazenod footy factory over there in WA."

I don't realise how much of an impact this weather has had on my mood and mental health the last few months until we have half a day of sunlight

I usually don't mind the winter months and its weather but this year's been pretty shit with so much cloud and rain

My dad made a similar statement yesterday. I love it but I can see where you are coming from.

Decent school that has produced some AFL players but it is an ACC school so it's not like they have endless resources at their disposal.

Had some friends back in the day that played Colts at Swan Districts and there was a pretty even mix of players from Mazenod, Guildford Grammar, La Salle etc. as well as the public schools in the area.

He just missed out on Aquinas last year,that joint is a footy factory.

 

[estibador]

The WAFL Colts system does more to develop the players than the PSA schools. They spend all summer doing their preseasons with their WAFL clubs then go back and dominate the lower standard PSA comp.

Going a bit too far here IMO, given that many aren’t eligible yet and others waitlisted

Seriously looking forward to watching the smölboi's game tomorrow (U13's), will be the first game in what feels like the whole season so far without rain.

Friends last weekend said similar, and called it Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Have been finding it hard to work up much enthusiasm lately. I'd be seriously stuffed if I lived somewhere that actually has cold wet winters or even snow.
