2nds WAFL Watch 2014 - Peel Thunder

[Seppo]

Appologies to Dudley Leopard who usually starts the WAFL watch threads, but the WAFL fixture has been released and our newly aligned club kicks off 22nd March with a game against our WAFL rivals East Perth.

Looks like their website hasn't updated the senior squad. I was hoping to see the players that will make up the side amongst the Freo players. I think they had an intra club game the other day, but can't find anything on the site. Might have been from FB or twitter...

The first time they have a game on the same day as Freo is the 17th of May so we should all be able to get down and see some games.

Last year there were so many games that I couldn't get to because they were either on at the same time or the same day and I couldn't get back home in time to watch the Freo game.

It should be a really cool atmosphere this year I think. I have been to a few VFL games in the past and it was great to be watching the footy a few seats away from guys like Tom Hawkins and Jarryd Roughead etc. I think you'll find that a lot of the team will go down to support the boys not playing AFL.

I'm really looking forward to watching a few Peel games this year. Normally I read the squads and go to the game with the most Freo players featuring but now, happy days, its always Peel.

I was in that boat last year too. I found myself not wanting to go all the way down to Mandurah to watch 2 or 3 players.

Get yourselves a Peel membership,its good value

I will be. After 12 years away from Perth, I'm finally moving home in a month. A long time Shark fan, I wonder if it's breaking any unspoken moral football code to have 2 memberships? While I still think of myself as an Easts supporter and will be supporting them in any game they play against Peel, I do want to get behind Peel now they're aligned with Freo. Plus, I'll be living just outside of Ravenswood so I might get to more Peel games than EF games.

I have been Souths supporter for all my life and its a pretty long life but I joined PEEL last year after moving to Mandurah and have found them a great club with magnificent facilitys.Members bar is a great place for a cheap beer and a good spot to watch the game

Hopefully ABC broadcasts more Peel games this year . Forget East Perth

WAFL has never been more exciting

 

[Nickos66]

It should be a pretty interesting state competition this year, that's for sure.

I wonder if it would be hard to just broadcast Peel and EP games every week, surely two games a week isn't much considering they have ABC2&3.

Would be brilliant if they did

But I'm not gonna get my hopes up. They couldn't even broadcast the Grand Final in HD last year.

I have myself given this important moral issue due consideration, and determined that the way is clear for me to purchase a GWS membership

I owe you a scotch and dry or two.

I think there will be a big turn out for Morra if he starts out for Peel. Can't wait.

 

[stax on the mull]

There's supposed to be 3 rounds of WAFL pre season games this year. Peel play in Rounds 2 and 3.

I know Round 3 is vs South Fremantle at Bendigo Bank Stadium on Saturday March 15. Not sure who they play on the 8th

Mini eagles I believe

 

[stax on the mull]

No, its not them, its Perth. Round 1 of the real season on the 22nd of March Peel play East Perth in Mandurah ( EP having a week off before that fixture)

I have a GWS membership and I have purple blood !! I love going to watch live footy and it's cheaper to have a membership than buy a ticket each week.

Plus I love AFL and want to support expansion of the game. So it's great watching the kids develop.

Plus..................

I passionately hate The swans

All of the above applies to me

Mentioned in the Freo members pack. WAFL round one, next Saturday (22nd) Peel vs East Perth. Show your Freo membership and entry is $10, kids free

 

[Okinakashi]

Apparently (according to Nick Rynne) Apeness is playing for Peel tomorrow. Would be good to get down to see the show...

I'm looking forward to seeing the Apeman play. Could be something good.

 

[Wigarus]

 

[Nickos66]

Subes apparently allowed to play even though he's on suspension..?

I wonder if Col or Zarke will be home in time? They'd give the side a real shot in the arm seeing as they'll have something to prove in order to break into the side.

 

[democritus]

Ape-man!

 

[Dockernut]

Whoop whoop! Looks like I'm going to this.
