I, for one, was ecstatic with the return from Rioli and Ryan from about midway through the season irrespective of the final result of the season. Rioli particularly surprised the absolute pants off me. I was optimistic that he'd be an enigmatic goalsneak - but from watching him each week, he is...

Such a sense of entitlement to try to dictate which barbs I can throw out in my own post. Pfft. I can't believe how arrogant you're being about this.

Great post. To add a bit in terms of challenges that West Coast face that I don't think you've touched on. I think we faced a bit of external controversy this year that really managed to galvanise the team with an us versus them mentality. From being largely written off at the start of the...

I think this is a fascinating topic. There are many ways to build a list and how each avenue is weighted by each club is really interesting to see. As you've noted, it has probably gotten off topic and turned into a pissing match to see whether Protestants can convince Catholics that they're...

Appreciate the considered response. I disagree with the perspective though (as might be expected when we’re both coming from a biased position). I think Geelong have been relatively heartless, but I can understand why. They’ve taken a ruthless, unemotional approach. Elite sport is an extremely...

Uh huh. They signed a contract on something therefore it must have been well considered and the right thing to do. Good one

As Yoda would say “Do, or do not... there is no try”. We don’t care whether it’s our game or not. We didn’t just try to take it. We did just take it on that glorious Saturday a few weeks ago.

Uh huh. It is how it is, therefore there’s no point considering whether it’s actually right. Good one!

I don’t see why returning to Perth for family reasons and choosing a single club in Perth are mutually exclusive. It’s quite obtuse to suggest that things are so black and white. Decisions are often made by weighing up multiple different factors. In this case, Kelly has legitimate Family...

That’s like me asking how many girls you’ve slept with and you tell me how many times you’ve had a wank.

I think culture made a huge difference to West Coast this year. I don’t think their list is as talented as previous previous premiership teams, but we came together with a clear genuine camaraderie between the group. There was a great shot of the team motto on a whiteboard, with Hurn ticking off...

I’m interested in your thoughts on development and where that fits in (perhaps you include that with the coaching role of Ross Lyon). Is it purely a problem with the cattle that Freo have? Or failure to get the most out of themselves and come together as a team.

I don’t think the hero worship was because of the drugs, but it also wasn’t diminished by the poor behaviour as I think it should have been. One of my lasting memories of the end of the Cousins era was his return game after the 16 game suspension. He started on the bench and when he started...
