Correct....count the number of country clubs that have folded or had to merge, tally up there "traveling players" (come paid) mercenary's that often make up half the towns league side, tell me which country leagues still have a colts competition, co…

I can categorically say football has never been in a worse state than currently in WA.Teams folding both juniors & seniors, junior competitions at all time lows, blokes my age in their 40s & 50s still playing so teams can get numbers on the …

Great race and what a tough win by Minstrel, Magnificent Storm was very gallant in defeat.

Guys I am a self confessed cricket tragic.I have been to at least 1 day of every Test played in Perth since the 1980s.The reality is the WACA pitch of now is nowhere near the one with the pace and bounce from the 1970s & early 80s.The complete o…

JJ I remember when Kernutt Thorne arrived at Swans in the pre season of 1988. He kicked a bag of 10 goals or more in our last scratch match the week before Rd1 and I was thinking we might have found our next gun Full Forward here but after getting s…

Kudos to Matt Young for the very clever call in the first race- "Write Rite Right is doing things Wrong Wrong Wrong" ;)) =D>

Cox pulls out, or just gone soft on the job?

I must admit I have little interest in the afl outside of how the Swan Districts lads are going.A lot of it is due to the total mismanagement of the game by sickeningly paid executives.Give me a day at Bassendean Oval or any amateur/country ground a…

A truly sad day with the passing of the great man John Todd.Sadly I never got to see him play but he was the greatest coach of all time imho.We have lost a WA icon.RIP JT
