West Perth V Claremont @ 11.15 am
Head to head:
Played 245 WP 145 CL 99 D 1
@ Steel Blue
Zip
However ....Claremont have won 102 games at Steel Blue at 56%, West Perth have won 104 games at 50.96% (?).
Last time Cl 17.9 (111) d WP 6.10 (46) up at Joondy.
West Perth sit in 4th spot with East Perth and Subiaco breathing down their necks.....so they’ll be fired up. They’ve got a game up their sleaves on 3rd placed East Freo.....so if they finish strongly they may get a home final. Claremont come off a big win against 2nd placed Swans......hopefully they didn’t celebrate too hard and are fired up to continue their strong season.
Claremont’s reserves side had a huge win, players will be pushing hard for selection ( a no-go-zone of 20km has been placed on Balla ) Young Murphy has to come in after his 45 plus touches. Thomson is fit and Laurie must be close.
Only Wilkes and young Neates were available from the AFL listed players against Swans....not too sure what will happen there.
It’s @ 11.15am.....full radio coverage and a full delayed telecast from 1pm on ABC TV.
The Monts by 30 points

1 Brent Dawkins will be a very interested on-looker at the WP v CL ressies game, that I can guarantee…I’m sure the cheque book will get a work-out after the game
I’m sure the WAFC will have all patrons entering Steel Blue searched for contraband .....cheque books top of the list .....developing quite the “penchant” for Chardonnay down at the port

How will the change rooms work for this one? I presume two teams will share? jeez I hope our boys dont have the home teams rooms! imagine them having to walk amongst the Swanny faithful! a few cans and buckets of spit later and barrages of verbals!
I agree S and S wont work and just gives both SD and Claremont coaching staff a look at the other side. How are players used to playing at 2.05pm meant to adjust to all of a sudden playing 3hrs earlier??? at least the players can finish at 2pm and have the rest of the day off.
How about being positive about it! At least Swans are on the front foot in promotion of the game, and a step ahead of the rest of the comp, and that is echoing Bill Monaghans sentiments about the weekend.
West Perth played Claremont in the 2nd leg of the first dble header April 25th 1988 at the WACA and won by 30 points. In a similar twist to the Centenary test of 1977 im tipping WP in an upset by 30 points!
Mate just hard to be positive about this one. We never play well out there and I mean it doesnt matter as we have top spot swen up but 11am!!! come onnnnnnnnnnnnnn a lot of the Claremont folk are pissed off coz they cant go, Mr T for example has kids sport in the morning.
Wow cant wait for the big double header this weekend! what a great initiative by the WAFC and thanks to the SD Footy Club for putting it on. Should be 18,000 there I reckon.

Thats better mate! I actually think the WAFL is doing well since the inception of the AFL sides to keep getting 2-4000 (depending on the sides playing), considering 35000 plus go to AFL every week.
I dont know if there are many that go to AFL and also WAFL if they dont clash, but you couldnt pay me to go to AFL ahead of WAFL.
But then again im stuck in the old days (even tho im only 36), and wish it could be like it was no mobile phones, computers, relaxed atmosphere, great pub rock bands, more character in architecture, cars, clothes etc, no AIDS etc etc etc im off on a tangent now! LOL

That big one will attract at least 15 ,000 just think how many Perth fans will flood into Bassendean.

Then how come SANFL does so much better than WAFL???
Anyway......back to the game.....Ruck and Derickx could have their work cut out for them this game....Andrews had 43 hitouts against South on Friday night......not too sure who he was up against. Salecic and Pearce had 30 plus touches so they’ll have to be watched, and the Bewicks had plenty of the ball. Chambers.....has he been out for awhile?....Any West Perth supporters out there???????

Considering that they only beat the 7th placed side by 26pts who had half a side on the track, coming up against the league leaders, not surprising the WP crew are quite Mr T…wouldn’t surprise me if this turns very, very ugly for WP on Saturday…
Sure are Mr T.. will be expecting a great game on Sat.. WP have more to play for then C so i think WP by 21 points.. C are good but WP on their day can beat anyone.. come with the same attitude against that rabble called SF & we will win.
Your cricket season will be starting early too SFFC4ever wont it?
