They beat The Eagles at Optus a couple of weeks ago and looked the goods to me even then.
Bulldogs are nearly done. I guess Subiaco want their monies worth when they buy a team. Bit like Harvey Brunswick back in the 90s.

Great player. Loved his celebrations. Not a fan of his dummy spits where he would consistenly give away frees or get himself suspended. Some of his off field stuff was also a bit average. Bit of a wasted tallent in the end. For every game he won off his own back he would lose 1 due to his stupidity.

I think the clown in the eagles get up with grey hair played cricket with me at Willo. Could be wrong as he has his face covered
I suppose AFL is locked in at the SCG for the foreseeable future but it is a crappy game to watch these days it's always greasy and slippery even on fine nights and that missing 15m in length really affects the way the game is played these days more so than the narrower grounds
I never used to dislike watching games there as much 4-5 years ago not sure why it bothers me now , the Swans have never been the entertainers of the comp so I doubt it is just them

Farmer had a better career at Melbourne, more career achievements, highlights and a better coach. As much as I enjoyed his time at Freo, I don't think any less of him if he now prefers the Demons.

I used to love WAFL footy but it’s very difficult to muster much enthusiasm these days. Subiaco has such a massive advantage over the other clubs, that it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that they’re going to win it unless one of the host clubs makes he finals and has an influx of AFL talent available. Though at least Schofield’s dummy spit last year was amusing.
$ubi have played in 12 of the past 16 Grand Finals, have not lost a game in 2018, finished with a percentage of 220, can recruit just about any player they want with their bags of money but the WAFL is stuffed because Peel managed to beat them in the past two Grand Finals.
West Perth went broke this season and most of the other WAFL clubs are operating on a shoestring while Subi are rolling in money. The WAFL needs a major adjustment to even up the competition to enable sides like Perth some chance of competing on an even level.

What's the collective noun for a group of west coast fans?
A boo?
A clusterfukk?
I think I'll vote for a thicket as that is the term for a collection of idiots
A discard of fans

Exactly! It’s so far from an even playing field that it’s not funny.
It’s because of this that I’m sceptical about Schofield being a super coach (like some on the Port Adelaide discussion board seem to think he is).
I heard recently Subiaco have an operating capital of around 4 million, next best is half that and the bottom dwellers are less than a million.
How did Subi get that much? Was it stadium benefits at Subi Oval?
Subi got pushed out of Subiaco Oval in stages from 1987 when the Eagles joined the then VFL. They extracted a very high price from their "misfortune" to the point they now have enough money to do as they wish against clubs with very very little money. This situation is a blight on the WAFL and has been pushed to the back burner in recent years with Peel beating them in the past two Grand Finals. The West Australian Football Commission lack the means and desire to do something about the situation unfortunately.
For many years prior to 1987 Subi were one of the poor relations of the WAFL and only won 1 flag in 50 odd years and almost went belly up at one stage. They were so stuffed that at WAFL games people used to carry a blanket around inside the boundary and you could throw coins into the blanket to help them out. It was called SOS (Save our Subi) A classic example of careful what you wish for in hindsight

Bloody hell. I thought that might have ended with the new stadium.
