Back by popular demand. However...

There has been some aggro from publishers of articles in recent months about sites that copypasta their content onto other sites, particularly the paywalled ones, which could lead to fines and whanot for those that do it. Apparently there are copywrite laws for these things. As a result we can no longer have full articles reposted here, so if you come across something then please refrain from nabbing the whole thing and just post the link. Quoting a paragraph or two and linking the source is fine however, just don't get greedy.

Here's the updated site-wide rule: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/please-read-re-copyright-posting-newspaper-articles.1389553/

Here's an example of what you can do:

"If West Coast was the gold standard for how to operate, then Fremantle's arrival into the AFL in 1995 could be viewed as a series of cautionary tales.

Despite eight wins in that debut season, a series of poor recruiting choices meant they didn't play their first final until 2003."

If they believe that us not making finals until 2003 was solely due to "a series of poor recruiting choices" then I have a bridge to sell them.


Thanks for your understanding.
 
Yeah West Coast winning the flag in 2018.

Came 2nd and didnt have to travel to Melbourne until GF week.

They also got Collingwood who they beat in week 1 so in essence they had 4 x finals in a row & was it a small factor maybe that 1 or 2 % that made the difference as West Coast finished that GF over the top of the Pies with fresher legs.

Unfortunately for us winning the Flag from outside the top 4 is close to impossible.

Pulling it off would be the greatest triumph in AFL history and overtake the Dogs of 2016.

Pies playing the game of their lives against Richmond in the preliminary final, with Mason Cox playing like the best player in the league for 3 hours, helped too.

Thankfully we don't have to beat all seven other finalists to win the flag. Just four of them. And the other sides will smash each other on the reef for us for the rest.

Sounds like it's worth giving a crack.

Let's ****ing go.

Everyone should be very cautious about what they're putting out into the universe this week, GC are not to be trifled with.

Remember how people were talking up the dogs when they had a 2-8 record (both wins against the same team GWS) against top 9 teams and we had a 6-3 record? Remember how most of the asshat journos picked dogs when we already beat them earlier in the year? More importantly, do we remember who won?

Yeah. Me too.

Same situation here.

We’ve beat GC at their ground. Gold Coast have won ZERO away games against top 8 teams. 0-5 to be exact.

Believe.

Great article. Hits home how important the journey is, and how character-forming following Freo is! Winning is almost secondary. Love the article strapline/subheading paragraph about grief.

Amazing to have met your childhood hero many times and to like then even more as a result. We’ve been lucky to have him!
