West Coast had 11 home games, 2 of which were neutral games against Fremantle. So already your calculations are incorrect. That means 9 games against non WA reams at home. Trust me when I say, our club would prefer not to play at random grounds every year. So the deals that Victorian teams have...

they may have only had a few early picks in that time, but they had a group of fairly impressive father-son picks that no other team had access to.

The Freo skills are terrible, but GWS are putting on absolutely zero pressure so it doesn’t matter.

There are a few factors at play here. Firstly, opposition teams do not leave Nic on his own. Any Mark is going to be in a contest. Second he is a contested beast, not an aerobic beast. He is at the contest, not running into space. Third (more about marking numbers in general) since his knee...

Who the **** would know? We will never get the GF.

Because I am dirty that the AFL gave the only GF in my lifetime not at the MCG to a non football state and I hate Richmond?

Lol, I hope the next few weeks are full of these kind of headlines. Well done Gil, and well done Queensland. The AFL had better come down on Richmond like a ton of bricks.

Well if you ask Gil, it’s running out on an almost full, dilapidated GABBA at night. I guess not everyone’s dreams are the same?

MCC members? Not sure they should have access to tickets over the competing teams actual fans.

How many seats are MCC?

Absolutely. The top qualifying team should have the right to hold the GF.

I would like to see WA and SA share the entire finals series. SA numbers are low, if they have the usual week off before finals (may not happen this year?) that would take care of half the quarantine period. I want to see football passionate states get the one grand final that will not be...

I hope so, it’s the only reason I will be watching TBH.

Although I don’t disagree, pretty sure we were saying the exact same thing this time last year. You campaigners know what happened next....

I think what most are unhappy about is that a high profile player/ club has a whinge about a free kick that was correct at the time, then the AFL change the rule! Kennedy got done for studs up about a month ago, was much more subtle than Jack’s, not one thing said. West Coast nor Kennedy...

I actually thought this “ heavy training block” theory went out around that era? Haven’t heard any sides talking about it for years.

You could say the same about every list except Gold Coast. This year has shown there is not much between teams, 5% off mentally and you are in real trouble. A couple of injuries to key players and you are in real trouble. Is being a finals list when fully fit really the goal here?

Surely the goal is to win a flag, not get to a grand final?

Yes, we kicked 19 goals from your inside 50. That’s how I interpreted it. While you had all your possessions on a wing. Good game, was fun. See you next year.

Possesion heat map.

Just on the umpiring, Freo’s Defence and West Coast’s attack are the same area of the ground. The area most of the match was played in. Kind of makes sense really doesn’t it??

True. I think two previous games in wet conditions, plus losing Cripps early, Nic on limited mins and Ryan obviously sore meant we just ran out of legs in the last. Collingwood never gave up and deserved the win. Hope we can return the favour sometime in the finals.

Exactly, if they had have said Darling, I would have agreed. Even Shuey, although he seems to have stopped doing it like he did a couple of years ago. Cripps? Never noticed it.

Only one of those teams has to travel across the country every other week and played the grand final at the home ground of their opponent.

Well, they did say quality mid.

Just on Freo being one quality mid away from being a good team, they had that last year. He plays for Brisbane now. And they were still shit back then.

Loved- The MCG no longer has a hold over us Learnt- That West Coast CAN get better this year Hated- The Fyfe head clash. I’ll be honest, can’t stand the guy, but no one wants to see serious head injuries in our game

Of course there will be. The point is when we do it it is racist / bad sportsmanship / unsafe to take your kids to the game stuff. When Collingwood do it, it’s out of respect. 🙄

Lol, they will never out boo us. Dom laughs in your face at your booing!

I fully expect Collingwood to win this game. And I don’t even care.😊
