Looking at some old Who's Who In WA Footy magazines from the 1980s it has the following MW- Kevin Bryant - Dianella Ross Glendinning - Floreat Park/Scotch College (went to EP under Father/Son rule) Wayne Loxley - ? John McGuire - Northam/Guildford Grammar

I must admit EB I have no recollection whatsoever of Lance Durack ever coming to or attempting to come to Swans in 1991??? We already had a plethora of big men/key positions at the club at that time- Travis Edmonds, Jason Ball, Stephen O'Reilly, Steven Handley, Rod O'Neill, Ken Bell, Brent...

Scoring some runs would help......... When was the last time Turner did anything with the bat in the Shield (or Marsh Cup for that matter)???

Have followed the Black Ducks since I was born- at none other than Swan Districts Hospital funnily enough! With both sides of the family Black & White and a relative playing there at the time (late 70s/early80s) there was no other choice.

A good SD boy mate. ;)

What would Dixon's points value be boys as he was worth 10 points in 2021? With him going to WCER late in the pre season EF then recruited Goddard (5 points- ex CL & VFL) & later Simpson (7 points- ex CL & EP) who would have taken up some points in the cap as well, then you also have multiple...

Tony Micale Boogyman?

Hmmm Boogyman there seems to be this theory WP are largely home grown WP zone lads but in reality it is not quite that way. On Saturday they had 12 locals playing with 10 sourced from other WAFL clubs, zones and or Interstate. And that was with the likes of other imports in Hutchings, Manzone &...

Unfortunately TIF most of those who work both in the WAFC and the WAFL clubs themselves were either not even born pre 1987 when the WAFL was king in this state or are originally from Interstate and dont know or care! As one who goes back and watches a lot of our old WAFL footy pre 1987 on video...

Thanks Boogyman :thumbsu:

Matt I think every club has had a drop off in attendances this season. Covid no doubt has played a part in that but definitely being able to watch the live stream would be another factor. Still for me you cant beat being at the game live and especially at Basso when the boys are up and about...

Bonomelli has played the last few games at Carey Park in the SWFL.

Another close game and yet another close loss for SD in Rd1. Hit the front at the 25min mark of the last qtr and similar to the last few years we coughed up a goal straight away after losing the centre clearance and the opposition goal. If Swans ever want to be this Top 3 side they aspire too...

Or John Inverarity, Terry Jenner, Ashley Mallett, Kevin Wright, James Brayshaw, David Fitzgerald......

Totally agree Freeze. After the afl draft in November that should be it no more poaching of WAFL, SANFL players pre season, mid season etc. If you get an injury too bad that is football! All it shows is that these clubs have no faith in their own recruiting staff!

Percy was one of the most knowledgeable football people I have ever had the pleasure to meet and listen too. His commentary on the radio and TV with his great mate the late Frank Sparrow was unsurpassed as far as knowledge and class not too mention enthralling listening. His coaching work with...

Adam Simpson's comment mid year obviously has some element of truth about it!

The Colts is a better standard. It also contains players up to 19yo whilst school footy would be 16, 17 & some 18yo's. The Worst led by Jordan McArdle are really pushing the psa comp like never before seen, one wonders if a sponsorship is at play?

With SD playing in the Colts, Perth playing in the Reserves & SF playing in the League well and truly helped to reach that figure.

And finally the Colts end 2021 on a high with a 8 point win vs Claremont at Optus Stadium in the GF. As with most SD vs CL Colts clashes it was another tightly contested affair in which all 4 games played between the 2 teams this season were all under 10 point margins with SD coming out with a...

Well that was a tough loss to take. Lead for most of the first 3 qtrs then came the predictable WP comeback when they surged to a 3 goal lead early in the last before we fought back again to regain the lead and ascendancy just going into red time of the last qtr before unfortunately Frank...

Daniher Dynasty that WP vs EP game in 1987 was played straight after the WCE vs Richmond game at Subiaco Oval (the WCE's fist ever game in the vfl) hence the crowd of approx 30,000. Sadly many left before it started.

Well that wasnt quite the side I had envisaged we would have take the park last week as a number of sore and injured boys were not selected against Claremont. By my reckoning 12 of our best 25 were missing so not a bad effort to take it up to Claremont on their home deck for 3 of the 4 qtrs with...

That was an interesting game vs SF to say the least. On disposal count, inside 50s & scoring shots we should have been beaten by 10+ goals but somehow we found ourselves in front in red time of the last qtr only to then miss 2 more chances to steal it before SF took it the length of the ground...

Cracking day of footy on Saturday at Bassendean Oval with the 60 year anniversary of our 1961 Premiership team. The retro 60s feel with the old 1961 jumpers, the 1960s music playing, the dressing up in 60s gear of many of the fans all made for a great atmosphere on the day with a good crowd in...

It wasnt pretty for 3 qtrs before we played a far more long and direct brand in the last qtr and ran away with the win in the end. Tony's hanger in the last qtr worth the price of admission alone. The Colts & Reserves also had good wins to make it a win for all 3 grades on the day. This week we...

Came up short again despite having 17 more Inside 50s and more scoring shots. EF just wanted it more in the end. I really wonder whether I will ever again see a SD side play with that 4 qtr determination, killer instinct, give the opposition nothing type that I grew up with in the 1980s...

Good to get the 4 points (in all 3 grades) against Perth on the weekend. We started well but like pretty much every game had our flat patches and some easy misses on goal that left the door open for the opposition who hovered around the 2-3 goal margin for most of the game but never really got...

And another huge test it was and we failed dismally again against one of the top sides. SF pretty much did as they pleased right from the start as we seemed totally disinterested or incapable of manning up on the likes of Schloithe, Suban, Dragovich etc allowing Shaw, Schlensog & Miller to have...
