Love the arrogance from Dimma in that article dear me
Thought they were reasonable comments TBF.Love the arrogance from Dimma in that article dear me
Back page of today's West is pretty bad. Full page graphic of a time bomb with an Essendon logo on it all because Ross Lyon said that 'some Victorian teams haven't won a final for 15 years' in response to some more of the usual baiting. If the West and Channel 7 were really just media arms of WC wouldn't they be pro-Lyon? When the back page reads 'Freo must re-sign Lyon long term!' then the PPE can worry.
I just think they're pro page views. They've got an ex-Murdoch-rag editor now and his papers love a bit of regime change. It sells papers and provides material to write about.
Freo are an omnishambles, what the hell else are they going to write about?
Lyon said Willie Rioli’s skills were elite, giving four-time Hawthorn premiership forward Cyril and Essendon great Maurice a “run for their money”, just a day after he had a career-high 21 disposals.
Hardwick knows the secret to beating Eagles
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick believes the Tigers will have the wood over West Coast when the ball hits the ground at the MCG this Sunday.thewest.com.au
Didn’t Maurice play for Richmond? Anyway, good to seeBiggie’sFKASC’sour Willie get the recognition he deserves from the media.
That article is one of the reasons we don't get anything from coaches or players.If it's reciting his words from AFL 360 he actually came across really well on the show I thought. It's about the longest I'd ever listened to him speak.
The OTC guys grabbed his comment about the Tigers having the better ground ball game, pointed out that we're 18th in post clearance contested possession, showed an example of us executing it well and then said we effectively flicked a switch coming into finals last year and went from worst to best in stats like loose ball gets.
I think with Richmond it'll be a case of not getting beaten by what we know. Port did it best but that wasn't their bread and butter game plan. The Tigers aren't necessarily deviating from how they normally play to counter us, which makes scouting them a bit easier.
Mongrel Punt gearing up for the finals with a copy and paste job on the drugs thing. Offers literally nothing new.
Really disappointing from a source I've come to enjoy reading.
Still timely. Still relevant.
1) As finals approach, good context to note that with all their advantages it took West Coast 24 years to win a drug-free (so far as we know) premiership.
2) This is still playing out. Lives are still being ruined by this mess.
3) Cover-up culture still alive and well at West Coast. When Andrew Gaff assaulted Andrew Brayshaw, Nisbet’s first response was to deny anything went wrong and make up fibbers about a golf game.
4) Relevant to all the fake sentiment around the Chris Mainwairing wing, and Eagles supporters getting misty eyed every time someone handballs a footy to his kids in a charity match, while ignoring the club’s spectacular blind eye to what was going on.
All in all, extremely well timed piece.
I was going to have a crack at part 1 last night because it was nothing more than a rehash of what’s been widely known for over a decade without offering any fresh perspective.Apparently the Part 2 version is much friendlier and the admin is using the comments section to poke fun at WC supporters who chucked a wobbly at Part 1.

Decided to wait until part 2 to see if the writer came up with either new information or a different perspective. I have some hope that there might be a point to the article because the mongrel punt is normally a very good site but part 1 was below their usual high standard
The mongrel punt is the best site for AFL. Their post game reviews are streets ahead of anything you’ll find elsewhereA s**t site even less relevant than the roar.
And then attributes our 2018 flag (at least in part) to the lack of sanctions we received.The mongrel punt is the best site for AFL. Their post game reviews are streets ahead of anything you’ll find elsewhere
This particular article isn’t their best work admittedly but even then it’s balanced and gives the club credit for turning around and learning from a dark period of our history that can’t be denied.
It also ignores the fact other clubs had drug problems in that era. Injunction club for one.And then attributes our 2018 flag (at least in part) to the lack of sanctions we received.
