Ah yes, what a significant year 1979 was. The year Perth went from a powerhouse to the whipping boys as evidenced by that Rnd 21 game against Claremont. It's been a nightmare we have never woken up from. Just 3 finals appearances since, what a disgrace!

I remember catching public transport to get to and from Tech school that year and thinking, we'll bounce back in a year or two looking at young players coming through like Len Gandini, Lyndsay Carter, Doug and Wayne Simms, Barry Kimberly etc..... Those players might have come a year or two later but I'm still waiting for the revival. :
