Garlic munchers crushed

[anchor man]

The mighty Red And White Bulldogs crushed the garlic munchers on the weekend. You beauty.The Doggys are travelling really well and should account for the Horrors from the other side of Freo.
It is good to see Peel going so well lets hope they can continue with the good run.My tip is for Peel to survive and Perth and Swans to merge.
Oh for those of you who do not know who the garlic munchers are it is West Perth.

I've always wondered why they were called the garlic munchers. My first inroduction to this term was when we were talking about East Perth playing at Leederville and someone said about the Royals playing on the "garlic patch".

So where does it come from?

It came about when coaches had personalities and Colin Beard was coaching The mighty fighting red and white bulldogs.As you may know there is nearly as much rivalary between thw munchers and south as there is between us and th mob from the wrong side of freo.

It seems that the Falcons are the Western Bulldogs of the WAFL, everyone has a rivalry with them.

When I first moved here someone I knew is a fellow EP supporter and I asked who the most hateable side are and she replied with a resounding "WEST PERTH".

BTW who is Colin Beard?

He played for South [The Mighty Red and Whites}in the60s and 70s.Went and played for Richmond.as a full back>Good honest player.The garlic bit came from the arguement as to who had the most player ofItalian descent at the club.We always reckoned West Perth had the most.As i say those were the times when players and coaches were allowed to have personalities.
