Matthew Lloyd was extremely complimentary about us, especially David Mundy, but he said we wouldn’t win the premiership this year. Kane Cornes was also pleasantly surprised at the fact that we are 4 and 2 after 6 rounds.

I'm not Peter K Johnson btw who has plagarised my previous comments and posted as a reply on this twitter feed.
I was only at that GF until half time and saw Jones getting possessions on the wing in front of where I was sitting.
The 3rd quarter of this game is up on youtube and Jones gets at least 4 possessions in that quarter.
As a sidenote, there were actually quite a few (at the time) Dockers and exDockers playing in this GF.
Most notable was Roger Hayden returning from the broken leg that caused him the miss the entire AFL 2005 season. Ryan Murphy played as a key position defender, and Paul Duffield was down there too, along with Daniel Gilmore.
I missed Brad Dodd getting red carded in the 3rd quarter. Freagles Trent Carroll and Anthony Jones also played for Claremont.
Other ex dockers in this GF were Matt Clucas, Keren Ugle, Tony Delaney and Michael Warren.

I think Hutchy is incredibly ackward to watch.
I found only official goal kickers from the 2005 WAFL GF and Clint wasn’t among them. I thought it was Commentator Glenn Mitchell that said he only had 4 possessions (prob being facetious). Toby McGrath won everything that year incl. the Sandover. Either way it was bloody funny.
Anthony Jones was never an eagle. Please god I hope you were not confusing him with rowan Jones?

From memory he worked for the eagles as a runner after he retired though.
I also can't find the stats, but Jones is listed as 5th best on the wikipedia entry for the game. This 4 touches stuff is nonsense.

Will a marquee game in Perth or Adelaide or elsewhere rate? That is the big question..
For instance, The Showdown rates better than the Derby. So the Showdown regularly gets Saturday night whereas the Derby gets whenever.
Are you sure?
In Adelaide, the citys ratings tanked in 2020, down 16% on 2019 to 80,000 viewers per game. AFL Minor Premiers Port Adelaide scored the bragging rights this year with an average audience of 101,000, while the Crows managed 86,000 on their home screens on Seven
In Perth, the ratings drop was less dramatic, down 5.2% to an average of just over 92,000. Fremantle averaged 108,000 viewers per match, while West Coast averaged 143,000 per game .
2019
In Adelaide, the highest rating game was Round 8s Showdown with 187,000 viewers. The second Showdown rated only 4th with 170,000 viewers.
Finally, to Perth, where the highest rating game was the Western Derby in Round 16 with 235,000 viewers. The first derby in round 4 was the second highest with 228,000.
Why a timely western derby could lay a path for Fremantle and West Coast's futures
The Fremantle Dockers and West Coast Eagles have been charting in different directions so far in 2021, and will cross paths this weekend in a western derby that could lay down a marker for their respective futures.
I feel the media coverage in this leadup is way off.
Eagles are not that bad and we are not that good. Reckon this should be 55-45 West Coast's way but it feels like everyone is pegging this 60-40 our way.

That is almost exactly what I think happens.
If we'd beat a couple of finals sides in the way we have won our games, I'd say the optimism was warranted. We didn't. All our wins are bottom 8 and possibly even bottom 6 clubs.
True, but the eye test on our best I don't think suggests a finals side.
The eye test on the Eagles best easily does (Port and Dogs).

I agree. We need a scalp to have any credentials. We are beating the teams we are expected to beat and haven't shown our method stands up against proven sides which puts us right in the middle of the pack.
We need a trophy kill or two. We have the chance in the next two weeks.
On reflection, round 1 could have been our statement game.
We battered Melbourne around the contest with Meek in the ruck. Of course, we couldn't kick or handball so it was all for nought.

I was at that 2005 WAFL GF and sitting at the fence, looking directly at the presentation. I remember being totally confused because I couldn't really hear what was being said, the PA wasn't that great. I had no clear idea what was going on, I wondered if maybe two medals had been awarded. I do remember having this awful feeling that I was watching amateur hour in full swing. Bad sound, presentation stuff ups, not a great look for the WAFL that day.
They always start fast. They kicked 3 of the first 4 against the Cats. If we get on top in the middle we could easily get it back on our terms
