    Are West Coast a premiership chance...

    I remember watching one of their games towards the end of the season and an interesting stat came up: the number of interchanges that had been made in the quarter. WCE were way way way down compared to the other team (like less than half). That made me wonder if WCE were at that point...

    Simmonds Stadium, Finals and Politics

    I have no beef with Geelong. My beef is with the AFL, who were the ones that made this decision and, by extension, are treating us unfairly.

    Simmonds Stadium, Finals and Politics

    This is exactly what we've been trying to get at. It has nothing to do with Geelong, it's more about how we are being treated relative to teams like Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, etc.

    Simmonds Stadium, Finals and Politics

    Did he address the double standards as pertaining to bigger Melbourne based clubs not having to play finals at KP? I'm guessing not .. Again, I have no problems with having to play at KP. I just think everyone should have to.

    Simmonds Stadium, Finals and Politics

    Why on earth would you do that? Wouldn't you be far more likely to win against, let's say, Richmond at KP than at the MCG? I'm genuinely interested to hear your answer because it seems to me like you would be giving up your advantage by playing at the MCG?

    Sure. I never said you guys weren't getting shafted as well. But put yourself in our position for a second. Why should we be treated differently to Collingwood, Richmond or Hawthorn?

    Or be a big Melbourne team like Collingwood, Richmond or Hawthorn, finish below Geelong, and play Geelong at the Melbourne club's home ground anyway.

    Simmonds Stadium, Finals and Politics

    It's unfair on us because if any one of the other Melbourne clubs were in this position (ie. 3rd), they would be playing against you in your home final on their home ground. Put yourself in our shoes for a minute, that is the very definition of double standards! Of course, the finals hosting...

    Simmonds Stadium, Finals and Politics

    You should care. You should be fighting like hell to have all of your home finals at Geelong because it's your home ground. If we lose you should be fighting to play your home prelim final in Geelong. If we win we sure as hell are not expecting to have to play our home final at the MCG. I...

    AFL announces finals week one schedule - Geelong final at Simonds

    No problem with playing at Skilled and am expecting the prelim to also be played there if Geelong win (which let's be honest they probably will).

    Could Naitanui still be the AA Ruckman

    For what it's worth he's probably the best ruckman in terms of impact that I've ever seen play and almost certain to be AA if he continues playing the way he is playing. Like someone else said, if picking a team to play for your life, he would be my pick #1.

    Do You know the rules?

    However even if you make that attempt, if your attempt is unsuccessful (and even impossible) you will be called for holding the ball. Which by the letter of the law is incorrect (if you have had no prior opportunity). Of course.

    What exactly is Ross Lyon's new game plan for Freo?

    If all the teams put numbers around the ball, where are those other bad ones that look horrible? Even in laughable defeats Melbourne haven't been involved in games that are as bad to watch as ours. GC and GWS are much more enjoyable to watch. You cannot possibly argue that there is no...

    Fremantle - Best Defence in the AFL. Freo fans - Are you happy?

    No. Game plan is horrible to watch, and I've gone completely away from watching them. In comparison, I love watching what the Eagles have become.

    Ross Lyon is a disgrace to football

    Incorrect. I hate watching this 2012 Freo play.
