Choking on my own rage here!

Just take a bite
This is why Im fine with starting the mob now.
Or the 2006 prelims.
In this day and age I'd fully expect a legal challenge. West Coast is a very big club these days, our revenue base is pretty important to ensuring s**t clubs like bullflogs and norf stay alive, so theAFL cant just ignore us.
Then again, I expect they'd screw over the poor club or the AFL owned one and not us (eg Brisbane or GWS).
TBH I wish we'd throw our weight around as a big club a bit more anyway. The Vics wont help us out of their own free will - anything we want we should be taking from them by legal force: umpiring reviews, MRP reviews, fixtures, etc.
I am all for some weight throwing - need to be smart though. For one thing I dont think the club's PR is strong enough re support for the WAFL, paid for their own facilities (not tax payers), no pokies - the list goes on.
The Sleepy Hollow move to send a non-Victorian team to Geelong for a final this year is the bigger risk, noting of course that any Melbourne based away team will have the disadvantage of having to wear their white shorts at the MCG if they come up against Geelong. I haven't heard that threat being completely extinguished yet.
How can we ever forget.
The amount of hand wringing and gnashing of teeth that went on in Victoria that week!
There must have been a bit the week before too. No finals in Melbourne week 2 in 2006 either. And I had forgotten we lost the first final to Sydney by a point.
I think there is little chance the AFL will allow this.
Big Vic clubs like Essendon and Carlton could legitimately expect to host finals at Docklands if this happened. There's no way the AFL will want to open this can of worms.
I was living in Melbourne at the time and everyone suddenly was a long lost dogs supporter. The Mrs and I were the only eagles watching the game in a very vocal throng of VFL supporters at the London in Richmond. Ahh the memories!
The week after everyone was a long lost SMFC fan.

What angers me is that they keep talking about how Carlton made the GF that year, when they should have had their finals ended in Perth with a fair system.
To be fair to Robbo, he’s talked up Yeo as one of the best players in the game for quite a while now.

Martin one of the best kicks in the comp. Kicking it as far as you can every time is a top five trait is it?
If someone could legitimately find five better kicks than Jetta and Hurn I’d be seriously impressed.
If they found 5 better kicks than Hunt and Jetta, that would be considered great research and journalism. Reaching.
Can’t believe Tex Walker has been named in the team of the week.
I was at the game and he was genuinely very ordinary.
12 touches, 4 clangers. 0 tackles, 6 marks (1 contested)
sure he kicked 4 goals. 2 of them were lucky joe the gooses from the goal square though.

I don't want to finish 1st. 2nd will do nicely. Who was the last team to finish as Minor Premiers, to win the flag?
Hawks 2013 I think
