    Luke Webster gone

    Announced to his team mates this morning. No big surprise. Other than not a retirement, but he's acknowledged the club is going in a different direction. Anyway, career killed by injury. But a really nice bloke and great clubman. All the best in the future Luke...

    Port Power : 20500 crowd???? :)

    What's with Port 'supporters'? Just when you think they've sunk as low as they could go, they get a 'crowd' of 20,000 tonight :eek:. This Power team made the GF last year. Imagine if they had a few lean years? Possible to see sub 10,000 crowds. They crap on about tradition and passion and...

    Well done Freo's BigFooty members!

    I'm proud of our team and proud of you lot too. All class in accepting our loss with grace, and congratulating Sydney for being the better team on the night. There's many anti-Sydney threads around but we haven't got sucked into them. We have a passionate, loud and gracious supporter base...

    The best of hometown umpiring..

    Wouldn't you love this type of advantage? "The Eagles are +51 for frees in 11 home games against interstate opponents. They have won the free-kick count eight times, drawn level once and lost it twice. In two matches against Sydney at home this year, the Eagles are +24 for frees. Away...

    Midfield exposed v Bulldogs????

    Haselby just not right. Bell out. No Headland. Matthew Carr in poor form, Josh struggling a bit. Who'll come in? I think Peakey, Macca and Walker will have to step up again and maybe Schammer (still lacking confidence in disposal) will play in the midfield. Can we afford to play...

    A nice story....

    Half time on Saturday night at Subi when a stranger comes up to me and says "Great game!" I looked at him blankly and replied "You're kidding me right?" "No. Not this game. Your kids yesterday." I was amazed. He wasn't a parent of kids at school, but just a local. Turns out he recognised...

    Rangers

    0 - 3 to Hibs. :D I love it when arrogance becomes a team's downfall. A draw or 1 goal loss to Hibernian fair enough, but 0 -3?? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Well done

    Congratulations Sydney-siders! You were too good for us today. BTW, I wouldn't give a toss about the critics that question your style of play. As long as you're winning, who cares how the game is played.

    Sampi

    Really admire this guy. Has taken his game up a few notches I reckon. Every time I see the Eagles on TV, I see this black flash on the screen, chasing, tackling, smothering. His defensive skills have been a highlight to watch.

    Ticket question ???

    I have 4 Freo season tickets (2 adult and 2 child) Often the kids can't make it to the footy as they are country based. Does anyone know if I can pay a bit more and upgrade the kids tickets and have another couple of adults attend. Or should I just try and get the extra adults through on...

    Haddrill

    Didn't train tonight... Does anyone know anything ? I'm assuming he will still be OK to play on Saturday. It appears CC may have been giving 3 or 4 a rest tonight to aid recovery. I don't think J Lo or Walker trained either. Still another couple of training sessions this week and I expect...

    Sad realisation - I'M OLD !!!

    You finally know you're an old fart when.... 1. Backpacker joints and youth hostels gross you out. I've done my fair share of backpacking around, eating from my Frisbee, sleeping rough. Used to love youth hostels - something quite exciting about that nice Scandanavian couple bonking in the...

    middle class welfare for singles ?

    OK. Get the violins out. Without wanting to sound too greedy and middle-class, it's about time something was done in Australia for single people - and those who choose to stay single. I pay taxes like anyone. One of those people who wouldn't describe themselves as rich, but I am in the top...

    A Speech to Scotch College - Melbourne

    OK, I know I went to a private school, but I just loved the "balls" of this guy. Victorian crime writer Shane Moloney was asked to hold workshops and then address a large gathering at Scotch College. This is his speech.. "When I first received an enquiry about my availability to come and...

    What's wrong with the world - pt 1

    According to the enlightened posters of BF, what is currently wrong with the world?? For me ....... LITIGATION (aka not taking responsibility for your actions) Why is our world so bloody crazy ???? Examples: - bloke goes swimming at local beach and gets hurt - sues local...

    question about surfing ????

    I'm not into surfing, but was wondering why when you hear surfing results on TV, or read results in the paper they have some surfers listed as Hawaian and others as USA. Aren't Hawaiin surfers American???

    Donating Blood ?

    Who on BF donates blood? Very worthy cause IMO, and although I've wanted to do it, I'm not allowed to cause they think I might have Mad Cows disease (yes, that explains a lot!) :o If you lived in the UK when CJD was rife, then they won't let you donate. I've met backpackers in Europe...

    At least when Akermanis speaks........

    ........... he usually backs it up with actions. Fevola on the other hand, loves dishing it out but often appears the the slackest, most dispirited footballer in the AFL. It must be really disheartening for his team-mates when they see him drop his head, refuse to chase and give away silly...

    OFFAL - just awful ???

    I have friends that eat all sorts of weird offal ie heart, brains, tongue etc. I enjoy the occasional steak and kidney pie or lambs fry but that's about it. I did try haggis and black pudding when working in Scotland..not too bad! Anyway, for offal lovers - what's your favourite?

    islamo-facism ????

    Islamo-facism Firstly, let me say I don't think I have 10% of the knowledge of world politics, religion, terrorism etc that most of the posters on this board have. I do however enjoy reading all the "to-ing and fro-ing", and then forming my own balanced (so I think) opinions. I'm not...

    Australia - Holier than thou????

    I reckon Australia (over the last 10 years) has lost it's purer than pure image regarding drugs in sport. I'm not talking Warnie's diuretic or Alex Watson's coffee - these are minor (like Andrea Raducan's lost gold medal in Sydney...ridiculous). I'm talking the big stuff - steroids, human...
