EP have fallen away since quarter time ... why is that? Anyone there for some feedback?
Peel look slicker . Ep trying hard fluffing opportunities in front of goal and coffing up a goal or 2 . Ep showing some good scrap for a late couple of goals that 1/4
 
Except for yesterday, Masto has been very good for us. Need another fallguy - not him.:rolleyes:

i'd agree with you but consistency has always been one of his big issues and in that regard 2015 is shaping up as little different.

started the year poorly - copped a heap of flak for it.
had a purple patch - everyone patted him on the back and believed he'd turned the corner.
last 2 weeks have again been quite poor...

who knows what comes next, but we know he won't be getting dropped.

And neither should he. He started poorly yesterday but worked into the game to be a servicable contributor. His "poor" games are still reasonable and is now a valuable part of that midfield. Along with Gaff, they line up on those wings at pretty much every centre bounce and the pair of them work harder than anyone else in terms of running.

Anyway, he's always going to be the whipping boy for some and I honestly don't think he cares.
 
Watching the Perth v Claremont game on CH7

Umpires giving Claremont players turns at having frees shots at goal.
Holding the ball free kick (was there) = goal
Scuffle after goal = free kick + 50m penalty = another goal without ball being bounced
Another scuffle after that goal = another free kick sans 50m penalty this time = another goal without the ball being bounced

Stupid umpiring of a stupid rule - the free kick to a forward without the ball being bounced is the dumbest rule in or game. Should be a free kick in the centre square not a shot at goal

Stopped watching, **** those umpires. It's hard enough to be Perth without those turds doing us in as well.

i agree he shouldn't be dropped for the reasons you mentioned (work rate, helps our rotations). also there's no one knocking on the door for his spot and dropping him to east perth doesn't help him or us.

i disagree that his poor games are reasonable though.

by now we have a pretty good picture of his strengths and limitations.
 
We could conceivably play our full list if we wanted to but obviously that would make the bye rather meaningless in terms of freshening players up

If Rosa doesn't get a game against the Tigers he'll definitely play for East Perth same as any fringe players that we want to get games into
I dont think this is true. Aflpa collective bargaining agreement would have something to say about that. Pretty sure they have to get certain days training and the weekend off. Must be a games played limit where u can apply to play like in the pre season
