    Game Day Round 2: West Coast VS Hawthorn - Sunday 3rd @ the 'G

    Agreed - There is no way 22 African swallows carrying balls the size of coconuts could so easily outdistance an opposition consisting of 22 European Swallows carrying balls that would barely qualify to sit on a tee at Royal Wembley, even if they were strung on lines between them, by such a...

    Nice Bump. $500k plus whatever in marketing? Tickle me with a feather. Nic's manager's phone has just burnt a hole in his bespoke suit pocket.

    Analysis Yes, we get a lot of frees, but ...

    I miss the X-files. Ducking, chucking, sucking. So many sins, so many disaffected opposition supporters. No chance the umps just call them as they see them? Over eleventy seven games officiated by twixty seven individuals, where no meaningful analysis of each decision has been made, I will...

    Game Day Round 1- West Coast v Western Bulldogs at Docklands- The Beginning of All Things

    Apart from the stupid sexy Brereton earworm you have left me with, that is some lovely work Quinz. I really hope I'm wrong but this might be a season where a touch of self-deprecating humour will be the balm that again soothes the misery of meh. As an aside, did you once use an avatar of R...

    Strategy How can we improve in 2015?

    This makes me very, very happy indeed Mr Bond. While I don't discount the benefits a few big bodies and a bit of pace bring to the table, I'll back in players that can kick every day of the week. I'm hopeful that elite disposal and decision making ability drive our drafting over the next few...

    How much longer can Priddis be debated?

    Priddis must be played every week. He draws the attention of the posters with bees in their mouths, who when they post, shoot bees from their mouths. If not for Matt, our entire midfield might get the unfortunate reputation of "absolute trash tonight and you all knew it".

    Game Day Rd 17 vs Brisbane Lions Preview/Gameday

    absolute trash tonight and you all know it I rarely post, but a glittering gem like this simply cannot be ignored. I'm finding it hard to recall a sentence where, in it's simplicity, has been better able to capture both the reality and the gravity of a contextual situation than this one...

    Positives and Negatives v Collingwood

    Our mids stepped up. +1 Our key forwards were mixed. Marking an issue. -1 Backs got a +1, but we still leak the sneaky one. Hoo Hah and umpires aside, today tells us we are not serious finals contenders. We had them so far over a barrel that even Eddie called for a Banjo embargo. If you are...

    Game Day The Rot In The Middle

    It's taken a while. While I haven't busted the chops of too many here, being only a recent visitor, elsewhere ears continue to bleed. It appears that my "can't kick, can't play" mantra is finally getting traction.

    Toast Chris Masten

    I'm not comfortable with any mid who can't win a bit of the footy. Complicate the game as much as you like, but sooner or later they will all find themselves surrounded. The good ones find a way out.

    Does anyone actually like Ken Judge?

    2001 - how quickly we forget. I'm still sitting in the same seats, waiting for another Merenda moment. Has footy got boring or have I just got old?

    Past player - Joe Cormack (1988-1990)

    Much appreciated. I understand most won't care but down there in the badlands, geography is important.

    Past player - Joe Cormack (1988-1990)

    No need for apologies. Back then we weren't bogans - I think we came under the tag of "Ockers". Singlets, BBQ's with red meat and Swan beer. I'd like to think we were salt of the earth types who, whether by design or choice, had bad haircuts.

    Past player - Joe Cormack (1988-1990)

    We all had them. Joey's was OK, but by no means one of the finest. Again, (and I apologise for being pedantic) Joe, together with his mullet, represented Harvey-Brunswick and the Swannies with aplomb. Good news is you can still see them down our way. Short on top, clip the sides and leave the...

    Sound advice Sey - nothing like a good nights sleep to get the synapses exchanging the few neurons still lurking in Maxxy's brain. I still have no idea about a Shuey though. Andrew, Alec, Abercrombie (my zombie) - possibly a cousin? I agree, drafting an unknown is fraught with danger. But you...

    Posted early there - my much better half cried "typical", rolled over and got the snoring thing happening. Still, enough of my Jet-Setting life, I think we were discussing Luke Shuey. Without subtitles I confess to having no idea what sey666 is talking about. As far as I can ascertain...

    Apologies EH, posted and then saw your contribution. Absolutely correct - Luke is possibly our best mid, but a long way from good. Cant beat a tag, cant turn a game. But he's still young.

    Please don't quote disposals. Matty gets heaps and there's one or two on here that suggest his numbers flatter. Did I expect him to dominate the league? Not really. Did I expect him to be be just a bit better. yes, yes I did. "Exactly where he should be at this stage of his career" I think...

    Everything is Awesome!

    Positives. Hmm, tough ask. Weather was cooler and skinny jeans are back in vogue for the ladies. Umpires had little to no impact on the result. Nobody stacked up choc milks. I'm a simple fellow and easily pleased.

    Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - It's Never Too Soon edition

    So now that I've had three really hot showers and finally cast off the stench that lingered after sitting through the putrescence that masqueraded as a game of Australian Rules Football yesterday, I've taken a moment to evaluate our list. Whilst depressing, it is not as bad as yesterday's result...

    Positive/Negative Vs Dockers

    Champ - I got back from the game and posted some rubbish on another thread. Here's the thing. We aren't very good. Have a crack at Matt Priddis, tell Coxy to stop flapping, ask why our No. 14 trade is playing in the seconds. Won't make a bee's dick of difference. I sat through that today...

    Sorely lacking in class and deplorable skills team wide

    I'll post here because it's the only thread that actually addresses our malaise. We can't kick. We make poor decisions in traffic. Our collective skill level is poor. It has nothing to do with pace. It has everything to do with execution. Adam is now coming to terms with the fact this bunch...

    Preview West Coast Eagles Vs. Fremantle Dockers 04/05 2.40PM (Banter Thread)

    So here we are - game day. The derby, the bigg-ish dance, the Monday morning hangover. Looking beyond today's result, I couldn't help but notice the parallels between Pav and Nick Riewoldt. Heaps of AA, heaps of games, heaps of goals. But no flags. I would be the last to denigrate Ross Lyon...
