WEST Perth took a leap of faith to start official pre-season training a little later in build-up for the 2015 WAFL season largely in order to keep the support staff fresh, and coach Bill Monaghan sees no reason to think it won't pay off.
Official pre-season training didn’t start for the whole West Perth senior group until late November in comparison to the customary late October or early November beginning.
However, that doesn’t mean the players were given the green light to not do any hard work during that period away from the club or that the same amount of work hasn’t still been put in.
