Fremantle have the best looking home strip in the competition.

There are two issues with the original post. 1. Every team is an "interstate" team, depending on where you are. 2. The time frame is very selective. If you make it thirty years instead of fifteen, non-Victorian teams have won twelve premierships. That's forty percent of the flags shared by...

He's not even the greatest coach of the last decade. Clarkson is/was the best this century. I'm not stupid enough to start comparing with coaches from 100 years ago.

Yes, that was a brilliant piece of coaching by West Perth. That year Heatley had kicked 123 goals for Subiaco. First move in the GF? Physically attack him off the play.

Darling's biggest problem is that he plays for the same team as JK, who is probably the most consistently good FF of the last few years. I'm really enjoying this thread, good balanced contributions from supporters of most clubs. Except for Fremantle. The hate runs deep.

Actually the title is a bit harsh. Heatley was far from a one season wonder. He starred in the WAFL for several years, while struggling to get a game with the Eagles. Then after his "wonder year", the next season he was still the Saints top goalkicker. Even after that he averaged something like...

Perhaps being a little cynical, but my guess is that Cotchin (and Lynch) will both play next week. Past experience shows that big name players do not get suspended during finals.

If you guys have half a brain, he won't be available for them to pick.

Last night at Optus. Halfway through the first quarter, the security guys did a unified slow motion walk down the aisles to the fence and back, for absolutely no reason. Nobody was causing any trouble at all, but I guess they wanted to make their presence felt. As the guy in our aisle walked as...

Shhhhh. It's only the beginning of July. Let's not get arrogant about this. (But our flights are booked.)

That's OK. We're quite happy if you never visit our fair city again. Not that you care, but I can enjoy almost any city I visit. It makes life so much more pleasant.

Can you have two favourite moments? 1. Daniel Chick. 2006 GF. Tackle. Smother. Pick up. Handball to Hunter. Shepherd while Hunter kicks the goal. 2. Dom Sheed. 2019 GF. Sitting directly behind him in the third tier as he kicked that wonderful goal.

Yeah, sorry about that. I must have misplaced my glasses. ;)

I'm pretty sure that the AFL has decreed that the roof shall remain closed for all daytime matches for the remainder of the season. EDIT: One day I must learn how to read the fixture. Of course it's at the 'G.

Yes, I know about the news, but I would have expected an earlier start allowing for some post-match guff. It's not a split round. It's a bye round, and either way, that has no bearing on match times.

This should be a flogging. Pies by mobs. (30+). Why is the game so late?

I haven't been on BigFooty for a few weeks, so I'm a little late on the reading. You brought an emotional tear to my eye. I love you Macpotata.

Hickey is a pretty good ruckman. I have been impressed with his efforts, he's been much better than I expected. Sadly for him, Vardy's a better option switching into the forward line. I tend to agree with others, if Nic stays fit it will be him and Allen. If not, then Hickey and Vardy will fill...

The problem with this thread is that very few of us have experienced enough grounds to make any sort of rational comparison. Most grounds are great if full. I haven't been to Adelaide, which is supposed to be wonderful. Of the grounds I have attended, 1. Optus 2. MCG 3. GMBHLQIT 4. SCG...

You are 100% correct. Our seats are slightly west of the wing on the southern side, so the sun's not too bad, but I went to a couple of cricket games when the stadium first opened and sat at the eastern end. That Perth sun on a 40° day is a killer. Even in winter, I think the glare of the...

If our boys are at their best we can beat anybody. Unfortunately, when we lose we're getting flogged which means our percentage is awful. I certainly wouldn't want to be playing the Cats in Geelong in the first week of the finals.

Let's get past the Bullies first.

2015 was the first GF I actually attended. It was obvious from the start that the boys were overawed by the occasion and we just enjoyed the day, as much as you can when your team is losing. I was over losing well before the end of the game. The Hawthorn supporters surrounding us were reasonably...

No, I watched the West Coast team destroy Peel in the WAFL this afternoon. I think I'd go so far as to say it was a higher standard game than the AFL match. The beauty is, we won both of them.

I think if you go back and listen to the original interview, you'll find that Kennedy was asked by a "journalist" if the West Coast supporters would boo Brayshaw. He responded that it would not happen, which it didn't. A journo raised the subject, JK put it down, the West Australian made it a...

Well, having just got home from the game, I reckon that was a pretty ordinary performance by the Eagles. Still if we can play that badly and still get the points, we'll take them every time.

Please, define "popular". I don't think it means what you think it means. If they same number of people attend, and the same number of people watch on TV, then the popularity is the same. One becomes more popular when one is more watched.

As a West Coast supporter I'm going to choose the first. But honestly, if my team is not involved I'll just as happily watch whichever two teams are involved. I don't have a second team, all others are equal.
