    Game Day Round 9, 2026: Melbourne vs. West Coast

    Can anyone discern a game plan or identity for this team? Seems we’ve given up on run and carry in the corridor and now it’s “hold possession on the wings and lose by less”. If I hear another inside 50 stat from Mini or the players after the game I’m going to lose my shit. We’re not showing...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Elijah Hewett (Pick 14, 2022 National Draft)

    I think a few weeks dominating WAFL will do him good. He’s been a victim of circumstance this year. Kelly’s surprising resurgence in form and Duursma’s remarkable start has pushed him out of serious midfield minutes, as has his lack of fitness. He’s not a natural forward or pressure player so...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    This is a fantastic summary of where things stand. I was pulling my hair out watching multiple forwards aimlessly chase the same player, leaving others free for the inevitable handball. Champion, Shanahan and CDT were particular culprits, but it was happening in the D50 too, resulting in...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Tylar Young seems like he hates physical contact. Brock is the same. No body work to stop his opponent from having an easy run at it and no real desperation in his game. The antithesis of Ginbey. Hough has regressed into a genuinely poor footballer. Always a step behind his opponent and offers...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Trawling new depths, looking for rock bottom. In awe of their ability to find new ways to disappoint. Have been a member for 25 years but this one has finally broken me. Not going to turn up until the tolerance of mediocrity and apathy goes away. Mini can f*** off. Duggan can join him. Not...

    Prediction Round 8, 2026: Changes vs Richmond

    Strikes me that they’ve picked the team to try and win this week - knowing that it is our best chance for a win for the rest of the year and we are in desperate need of a morale boost. I don’t like it. I’d rather see Bo Allan and Tom Gross learn how to win, rather than playing Tom Cole and Matt...

    2nds WAFL Watch - 2026 Edition

    Remember to go to Mineral Resources Park tomorrow in your vomit covered shirt to show the Eagles what they have done to you, just like Jackie Kennedy.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Draftee/NGA/FS Discussion

    Butler is my early favourite. Desperately need talent and creativity in the forward half.

    Autopsy Round 4, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Sydney

    Calling Matt Flynn “Silver Chain” the way that someone new comes to give him a bath every week.

    List Mgmt. Welcome Tyler Brockman (Traded for Picks 44 and 63 in 2023)

    What does firsthand mean? Are you a lawyer? Police officer? Victim? I’ve been a criminal defence lawyer since 2016 and I’ve dealt with more wounding/GBH/assault matters than I can count. I’ve never encountered a prosecution proceeding to trial for a wounding without the cooperation of the...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Tyler Brockman (Traded for Picks 44 and 63 in 2023)

    The charge may occasionally be downgraded but to say that a broken jaw is AOBH is plainly untrue. One of the first things WAPOL will do is get the treating doctor to tick the “GBH box”. Please explain why, at law, there is a distinction between AOBH or GBH and wounding in terms of requiring a...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Tyler Brockman (Traded for Picks 44 and 63 in 2023)

    Broken jaw is usually GBH. The test is whether, without treatment, the injury would be likely to endanger life or cause permanent injury to health. If the broken jaw requires surgery (as most do), it will usually constitute GBH because without surgery there can be permanent issues with eating or...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Tyler Brockman (Traded for Picks 44 and 63 in 2023)

    An assault does require a complainant because otherwise defences like self-defence or provocation cannot be negated by the prosecution. Identity and causation of injuries are also issues. The State will not, under any circumstances that I’ve encountered, present an indictment for a GBH without...

    Prediction Best 23 - 2026 edition

    I think we’ll probably see something like this to start: F: Owies, Waterman, Reid HF: Brockman, Shanahan, Cripps C: Maric, Reid, Duursma HB: Baker, Young, McCarthy B: Starcevich, Edwards, Ginbey R: Flynn, Yeo, Graham INT: Robertson, Hewett, Hough, Kelly, Duggan Players in bold don’t or...
