Beating every other team in the same year
Just doing a few checks and just wondering if there is an easy way to work this out. In 2009 the saints lost 3 games for the year, essendon/north during the regular season, geelong in the GF. all three teams they beat the first time they met them during the season - there by beating every team...- Belnakor

Fastest goal on debut
Now that Stephen Hill has retired, i have seen a statistic saying he had the 3rd fastest goal on debut. His goal was about 40 seconds from bounce off, it seems improbable for me that there are two people who beat that. *Paul* any viewpoint?- Belnakor

Umpiring Dom Sheed
Surely that act of driving his opponents head into the ground and putting his weight onto gets looked at. intentional high and medium would be my read on it. it’s also a terrible look for the game which the AFL is very concerned about. Straight to the tribunal ?- Belnakor

Cricket Australia - Wrong Priorities
It appears the most pressing concern for Cricket Australia was not that we lost the first test at the GABBA since 1988. It is not that we lost to an Indian C team It is not that we have massive problems with the quality of cricket in the Big Bash It is not that we have a T20 captain who can't... -
Four day tests - why the push?
Why is there a push from “company men” like Mark Taylor to talk about moving to 4 day tests? I don’t think I have spoken to a single legitimate cricket fan who wants 4 day tests instead of 5. are aca against it because the gate is lower on the 5th day? Save costs on booking the venues... -

Preview Round 6: Fremantle vs West Coast (The Dale Kickett Cup)
Round 6: Fremantle v West Coast (The Dale Kickett Cup) The first derby at the new Perth Stadium promises to be one of the better quality contests in recent years. Both teams come into the game with a bit of momentum behind them with decent wins last week. The new stadium has proven to suit... -
Cricket Australia - Incompetent Clowns
How are these guys still in a job? - Totally mismanage the Player payments. Sutherland didn't even get involved until the last minute because he was doing... things... - Totally mismanage the recent punishments. Go way overboard when public outcry is at it's peak, show zero regard for... -
Darren Lehmann - flog
Lehmann has come out and slammed KP on twitter last night (since deleted the post it seems). Yet another example of the guy carrying a personal grudge from years back. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-25/move-him-on-lehmann-sprays-pietersen-after-stars-elimination/8210166 Really getting the... -
Pup Clarke's new book
anyone picked it up? Looks like it would be an interesting read. Was not surprised on his mental state post Hughes death. He looked mentally cooked and was never the same afterwards. -
Autopsy TNT after games has run its course
Guys, Thinking today - post season - i'm really over them playing TNT after games. It was reasonable idea to begin with but i think it has well and truly run its course. Like Mzungu its time for the glue factory. What does everyone else think? -
Kumble takes over as Indian Coach
http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/1028683.html I reckon this is going to end in tears :) Looking forward to it. Kumble has managed to do what i thought was impossible in Indian cricket - have more conflicts of interest than anyone before him. -
New Perth Stadium - Prepare to be gouged
Guys, Survey been sent around by the club, one interesting question came up. How likely are you to purchase the option to pick your reserved seat first at the new Perth Stadium for the one-off price of $3000 plus the annual price of your membership? Now i'm not saying this will happen - but... -
Analysis The Preseason - What went wrong?
Guys, Hoping to get some thoughts from the training watchers and other interested observers about what went wrong in the preseason to leave us in the situation we are in. I have gone through and read the preseason reports and there are some interesting posts - was the writing on the wall? Key... -
Universal Love Barlow is cooked, Barlow Rises, Revenge of the Barlow
There does seem to be one sacred cow in the Fremantle world at the moment. One M.Barlow. Unfortunately he is too slow, has poor skills. Top bloke but not a great footballer any more. Will finish the year in the WAFL. -
SA Xenophon
With the prospect of a DD coming this guy could be a serious force in the next parliament with potential for him to get seats in states outside SA. Is this guy purely a populist? Or does he represent something deeper? Why is he so popular in SA? Two senate seats isn't something to sneeze about...- Belnakor

I see Ross is suddenly sporting a new look up top. Suspiciously full. I think Ross the Boss may need to change to Ross the Rug http://www.watoday.com.au/afl/fremantle-dockers/fremantle-dockers-2016-whats-going-on-with-ross-lyons-hair-20160217-gmwuyh.html -
Toast Pav on Harvey Sacking
https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/29708513/pavlich-the-day-the-dockers-sacked-mark-harvey/ Pav's book has an extract on the Harvey sacking which is very interesting i must say. - Harvey was going to be sacked in 2010 since his coaching was so bad (shows how much talent he was wasting...) and... -
Steve Smith as Captain
Guys, now Steve Smith is captain, what are we expecting from him? When Clarke came in, there was a "punter was too defensive" school of thought (didn't agree with it)... but we really don't know anything about Smith as a captain, aside from his spells at shield level. sure he pummeled India... -
Roast Umpires
Guys, Just how badly did everyone think we got done in by the umpires? when the game becomes available online, i'm going to go through and document every free kick, get an idea around how many were legit, how many were 50/50 and how many were the standard WCE advantage. the free kick count... -
RIP Canning MP Don Randall
Don Randall the Liberal Canning MP in WA has had a heart attack and thats all she wrote. Will be an interesting test for the Abbott government as Canning is quite an interesting seat that was really only held by Randall on personal vote. I reckon this will put Abbott's leadership under...- Belnakor

Prediction Sending the B-Team to Tassie vs Hawks
Guys, I know it is 2 weeks away but i think it is worth discussing. In previous years we have sent the B team since the travel factor is huge. Pros 1. Fresher list 2. Sends a message to the AFL that Tassie games are too far for Freo 3. We are two games clear, dropping one won't hurt that much... -
Opinion Brandon Matera
We should be interested. Now he is having trouble at Gold Coast, and could potentially be moved on. Obviously has some discipline issues. I've always liked the look of Brandon, Fremantle blood lines and really should have been available as a father son to us. Getting him cheap would be worth... -
Best Australian World Cup Team (99, 03, 07, 15)
Guys, Just thinking today around now our 4th World Cup winning team in 5 years, in terms of ability/skill and where they would rank, and strength wise. 1. 2007 - This team was one of the strongest we have fielded, no real weaknesses. Hussey in the middle order gives it the edge for mine. 2... -
Sangakarra - Minnow basher extraordinaire
Been following Sri Lanka's latest feeding frenzy against Bangladesh. Not enough to be playing a sub standard attack they also played the games on absolute roads. Sri Lanka know how to smash sub standard opposition better than any team in world cricket. Was just looking at Sanga's record. The... -
Changes for the 3rd Test
any suggestions for changes for the next test? Out: Watson, Smith In: Warner, ???? Out of ideas. Bowling attack is fine, Agar obviously struggling a bit but overall our attack has been passable. -
Universal Love Ross Lyonisms
Love the way Ross goes about his interviews. The guy has a cliche for everything. Weekly phrases - We'll bank the four points - We'll move on really quickly - Our intensity was X - Reward for effort - Good moments - Players stood up - We want to be a good football team - Will to win... -
Toast Spurr's Courage
This guy doesn't get enough credit. Two or three times this week alone he backed into a pack and got absolutely crunched. Loving the way he is going about it. -
Roast Freo's Sacred Cow - M.Barlow
This viewpoint has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks, and the game on Friday night cemented it. Barlow gets alot of the ball - no doubt. But he absolutely butchers the ball. He just doesn't hit targets. He conservatively cost us 3 goals in a low scoring game with simply, poor... -
