  • Well that was significantly better. An irrespective of the score it was good to watch them play 4 quarters in the one game

  • Flax. How can you have a decent conversation on AFL when Collingwood are winning and both state teams are playing well below expectations?? I’ve planned my afternoon based on forcing myself to watch the weegirls up to half time!!! Can’t even book …

  • After the attitude displayed against Sydney, Simmo won’t be feeling as safe as he was. As long as whoever gave NicNat the extra 2 years is sacked first, it’d be hard for Simmo to survive another performance like that, this year. Sheed, Duggan, Wit…

  • Tried watching Swans v Brisbane. And just had to give up….tackling and sling tackles I seriously have no idea how any of it is interpreted. But I do know it makes for very ugly viewing. Turned over to nothing. The but I seen, just isn’t AFL

  • Staggered he was allowed to play. They wanted to give Degoey weeks for a video, this bloke planned and stole 3-400.0k but play your game of footy first then we’ll arrest you. Go figure. Geez Freo Dockers. Making the statement on a public commen…

  • Trembles would've got a free ride with the apprentices and guaranteed a full book. So a day at Roebourne and $1200 for the day is an attractive day for him.. Without any commission or slings. He'd need to ride 4 Saturday Perth meets to get that many…

  • Never write off a champion boys. The “human highlight reel” will return to once again terrorise the opposition.  [-X As much as I'm on your side Deto, the man needs to let go and enjoy a relatively healthy life with his family. He's done as much…

  • At what stage are they going to start playing touch footy??? The game is getting harder and harder to watch with the current rules. A player grabs an arm so that the ball can’t be handballed or kicked. No whistle so the tackler brings the player t…

  • Oh yeah. But to have kept Mitchell, they would've had to of got rid of Simpson the year he won the premiership. Probably didn't make my comment clear initially

  • ^^ hope not. He definitely doesn’t fit the Chardonnay sipping Eagles fans expectations. We need good coaches on their way up. Not good coaches who have been really successful and are looking for a soft ride to retirement With the benefit of hinds…

  • We're on the same page Spink......Its now at the point of anyone who isn't going to be as good or better than they are now needs to be moved on Gaff, Duggan, Petro, Waterman, Yeo Nic Nat, Cripps, McGovern, Rotham Everyone of these players could go t…

  • Simpson out of players out of excuses. Another horrible watch That is as bad as it gets. Against a team that is in those around you on the ladder. They have no option now but to do a significant clean out of players young or old that won’t be …

  • Fir point gilga, but i do still to this day know Dockers supporters who only focus is on beating the Eagles., Whereas that has rarely been the focus of the Eagles supporters. Although i agree over the past 5-10 years that fire for the clash has less…

  • Industry can’t live without them now. Not necessarily the size of the ones above, but similar. I know a syndicate that has 20 mates in $50 a week every week of the year for 10% Not for me, but they are loving it. Imagine the trainer is too!!!!

  • I think this weekend will be the defining test for where we are at.  If they get thrashed by Hawks, then the new kids aren't able to do the job for them - Probably too few, trying to do too much. If they are within 4 or 5 goals....or give us eagles …

  • Has all the makings of a day of blowouts with Pike on so many favourites Knot Secret appeals So often on day 1 or 2 you see the pilots go early and then don't get to the line. Shouldn't happen this year with the summer racing they had there. Will b…

  • An no 1000 or 1100m races.  Have i missed something. Is there something wrong with the chute??? For me one of the best thing about going back to Belmont is to see the sprinters in action over a full race length, rather than 350m like at Ascot!!!

  • Cmon Rio Surely there were a  few hesitations about venturing into the Eastern suburbs of Bassendean. Its alright  you can tell us I grew up in York, so from a very early age the Basso Bogans v The Bulldogs were the only games i went to!!! So I sup…

  • Looks like the picture was from the old Perth Oval (Home of the East Perth Royals) before it was sadly turned into a soccer/rugby ground. As a devout Bulldogs supporter i was only sad to see they didn't blow up the grandstand, the gates and every ot…

  • That was the reasoning behind Fremantle being granted a licence to join the AFL. To weaken The Eagles influence over the competition Exactly. An the below quote is not aimed at you spink. Just can’t be bothered doing another post for The 3 Day …

  • Cant wait for that Tassie to come in - because L Mathews said and i agree they will want a 20th team - and you would think if it went on being financially viable WA would be a great chance - because as it is the Eagles with 100 k members is the fina…

  • In relation to the 20th team here. I think it’d be best suited as an eastern suburbs team. Bassendean brawlers. Or Midland Maulers. As that taps into a lot of borgans and country people. The same a GWS fan base. An let’s not forget. The AFL would …
