Perth will be looking to put last week’s dismal display behind them when they take on East Perth this weekend.
The Demons were outclassed all over the ground against the Bulldogs, losing by 98-points in a game where the club honoured the 50th anniversary of the 1966 premiership team. That followed a 50-point defeat the week before against the Lions.
Remarkably Perth had more inside 50’s than South Fremantle, 48 to 47. It was a similar case the week before with the Demons only narrowly having less inside 50’s against Subiaco, 56 to 53.
The Royals have started to show over the last two weeks the form that had many tipsters predicting them to finish high up the ladder. They have beaten Peel Thunder by five goals and easily accounted for rivals West Perth by 60-points. If East Perth 14.16 (100) had kicked straight against the Falcons 6.4 (40) they could have won by more.
