Round 9 Preview

Thursday, 16th May 2013

After an extended break, we take on a very experienced and talent laden outfit in East Perth this weekend. Whilst they have started slowly, their side on paper looks extremely strong with senior bodies like Craig Wulff, Gary Moss and Brendan Lee forming the core of their midfield who receive great service from the premier ruckman in the competition in Paul Johnson. They are also strengthened by the AFL alignment system and we expect Adam Selwood, Scott Lycett, Jamie Cripps, Cale Mortin and Blaine Wilson to step out this week for the Royals. I am not a fan of the alignment system in any way and i'm so relieved that Swan Districts retained their long heritage by remaining a stand alone club. I think its fantastic that we get our home grown boys back when they are not involved in AFL footy and I think these players really benefit from playing footy in an environment they know and love, and also know they feel valued. We take absolutely no credit from the resurgence of a player like Michael Walters but "Son Son" loves the club and when he came back to do his time, he really played his heart out for us at a club that he has grown up with. I often wonder how that situation had have evolved in a alignment system? I think its sad for the supporters also. East Perth are a club that has a rich tradition that stretches back almost a hundred years and all of a sudden supporters have to embrace a group of players who for the majority, have had little association if at all with their footy club. That’s life though in the WAFL environment however for East Perth and Peel and only time will tell if the current set up proves successful. Our team for this week looks nice and strong with the return from injury of Tom Roach. We also look set to regain the services of Lachie Neale and possible Andrew Embley for the fixture which will really strengthen our running power. Jamie Bennell will also return for his first game in the reserves after 12 months out with a knee injury. We have some boys in great form and that was proven again with the exciting showing of our 4 representatives at State level against Vicotria last week. Kyle Hams, Tallan Ames and Tim Geappen all had a massive influence on the game and Wayde Twomey capped a stellar performance with 5 goals and subsequently the Simpson Medal for best afield.   We will need to be at our absolute best this week to secure the 4 points and if we can generate the intensity we showed against West Perth we will have a great day. See you at Steel Blue.
