Wasn't sure where to put this one so I'll whack it in here. A friend of mine (Tara) was involved in producing the movie Pineville Heist http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125663/ which was shot in Canada.

Long story short, the lead actor (Presley Massara) is a Perth boy who is a mad Dockers fan. He and Tara got together to sneak a Dockers sticker into one of the scenes where he opens his school locker

Very cool trick and proud of them both!

AFL.com's Freo mid season review: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-06-16/2017-midseason-review-fremantle

Kinda agree with it, fair call on the pass mark (play the kids, 2-4 more wins). Plus a chance to vote on some stuff. Yay democracy!

Hi Fremantle Fans, I have a question regarding ticket sales. I am not able to post on the regular forum so that's why I am posting here. My apologies if that is not how it should be. I am from the Netherlands and not known to the AFL and its ticket procedures but I want to buy 2 tickets for the Fremantle VS Hawthorn game (July 22, 2017). I am only able to buy ticketmaster resale tickets but they are pretty expensive. Is there any other way for me to buy tickets or will the regular ticketsale be reopened someday? Thank you for your help!

There'll be extra tickets released the Monday before the game. You should be able to get some then at a reasonable price without too much trouble

Great, thank you!

No mention that the injury list has not been updated since last week. Grrrrrr

Meanwhile, injury-prone recruit Harley Bennell remains listed as 3-4 weeks away – the same estimate as last week – as he eyes his first senior clash for Fremantle later this season.

“He’ll join in the early parts of (training) tomorrow,” Lyon said.

“We’re building, and we’re aiming to see him play at Peel in the near future.”

Freo's been dragging their feet lately with the Jason Weber injury updates, they've been coming out on wednesdays as of late, so the AFL updated injury list is always outdated for freo when it comes out on tuesdays.

3x HB.

We are normally late Tuesday. I believe the time zone difference works against us.

 

[scon]

AFL Clubs should all operate on AEST.

 

[M_rash]

3x HB.

Bunch of pencil necks

One is old and doesn't want to be at our club. Another is young and doesn't want to be at our club (reportedly). The other came to our club because his club didn't want him. The misfits. Can't f**king wait til they all play together and run amok up forward!

Anything suss about 10 of the 18 coaches having dinner at Gil's place tonight, in particular 9 of the 10 attending being coaches of Victorian sides?

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-06-27/whats-on-chef-mclachlans-menu-10-coaches-to-find-out

TEN OF the AFL's 18 coaches will gather for dinner on Tuesday night with League chief executive Gillon McLachlan and football operations boss Simon Lethlean.

While the menu remains the domain of McLachlan, the conversation will be steered by the coaches themselves.

Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan will represent the interstate contingent, flying in for the evening, while nine Victorian-based coaches will attend.

 

[Big Animal]

I'm sure Fagan will have our best interests at heart

Nothing suss. Just inappropriate. Interstate coaches could attend but are too busy to. Ridiculous way to run an organisation.

Happens every year and every year it pisses me off.

 

[Deveraux]

Honestly do we really care? I'm sure they're not all colluding against us

 

[Outshined]

Kind of understandable though. I can't see the value in a 7.5 hr round trip for Lyon and Simpson just to have Gil pretend to listen to their gripes.

Plus who really wants to eat overcooked pheasant with Lord McLachlan?

Not colluding. Just schmoozing.

 

[Sully90]

Not colluding. Just schmoozing.

I doubt that guys like Clarkson and (in the past) Malthouse are the schmoozing type.

The whole session will likely be everyone listening to the Scotts complain about umpires and open roofs and other such nonsense.

What need had they to schmooze? Malthouse had Eddie at the height of his Presidential powers telling the AFL what to do and Clarkson was the coach of a club that was already the beneficiary of every advantage.

On the plus side, while they're both complaining they'll also double as entertainment for the night...

Not if you're running the VFL.

I normally change the Channel before Basil comes on for Seven Sport, but Ross basically spent a minute and a half ******* with him and it was absolutely glorious.

Just came here to make the same comment. Couldn't have treated him with any more contempt and it was incredibly satisfying.
