George was remarkable.... in lots of ways.....at those aforementioned "Sportsmans Nights"....No script, no notes, no nothing, all off the cuff. Sadly, he wasn't that well....and in between the stories and the Auctions (best fundraiser I have ever se…

Certainly do remember that show Marko I used to look forward to it every friday night back in the 80s.

So Gareth Parker (whoever he is) and Doctor Fong pull out of the so called WAFC Elections for Commissioners. Dorrington, however, remains on the list of nominees.....his price is shortening simply by elimination. Surely he can read the Parliamentary…

They were moved to the interdominion time when the inters were cancelled. Thanks Tony, I guess that sort of makes sense albeit was probably made before Covid restrictions hit Oz?

Sorry, is the Fremantle Cup and Pacing Cup on soon?. Must have missed the promotion, I must become more attentive and start reading all the public relations work going on. Spot on JJ there has been absolutely nothing by way of promotion.I am still…

Gee that is sad news.RJG always had a handy pacer or 2 when I started following the trots in the 1980s one of his pacers that hasnt been mentioned yet that I can remember as a young bloke was Smokey Future who was a handy free for all pacer.Had the …

RB possibly had a bet on him Marko but alternatively maybe he was genuinely excited at watching a very promising, exciting horse back racing after a let up?TFTS's stablemate MS is another very, very exciting young pacer who should make his presence …

The way they play they wouldn't be too concerned about being penalised points!!! One particular incident I highlighted what I thought was an error in a financial record. They responded with it was included on a certain line and balanced out on a ce…

After my experience none of that surprises me Village Kid. After what I've seen i doubt they could find a root in a Old Growth Forrest. I seriously didn't think those management practices survived the 80's!!!! I doubt they will get better any time s…

Is there a more vastly improved pacer in WA currently racing than Jesse Allwood?Has improved out of sight this time in for new trainer Phil Duggan.

And more recently EF should have taken over Freo's facilities at Freo Oval when they vacated, but instead have spent a fortune upgrading their separate facility, leaving both under utilised. They are now pushing for government funding for a redevelo…

I've recently been involved - for a very short time - in a project that saw me working closely with the Peel Thunder. I'm surprised that they actually have the ability to open the gates on game day, let alone run a semi-professional sporting club. A…

1965 state sprint championship winner Bin Oro with the Woodworth family Great pic GTC.Those were the days...when you would get daily trots stories in the paper and even a photo or 10 as well!

In a word, No. And as a current commissioner, he gets to vote for himself under their very democratic election process. Wasn't he going to be under threat of a charge of parliamentary contempt for urging Swans NOT to make a submission to the inquiry…

I am sure Grant Dorrington will consider himself a perfect fit for Claremont.....he could apply his vast set of self centred narcissistic skills that have been on display through his marvelous tenure as a WAFC commisioner. Can you believe he is st…

Gee Claremont have shown an unfamiliar ruthless side by not renewing coach Darren Harris contract despite taking them to their first GF since 2012 and having a formidable 67% winning record in his 4 years at the helm. With that sort of coaching reco…

That naughty Lindsay Harper is at it again, actually making the races well, races. You could almost see the look of disdain through the tv as the two drivers took him in and he didn’t hand up The way Eldaytona went (and is going) he had every right…

Is there a fire in the vicinity of Pinjarra? As it is looking rather smokey/hazey in this last race there today.

The AFL would love a Brisbane Port GF.Get some marketing and TV revenue back into the game. As much as I would like to see that GF take place, I am sure the afl would prefer a Richmond vs Brisbane GF actually.Brisbane in to make sure the Gabba is s…

I am showing my age but I do remember John Caldow coming to Perth possibly in the mid-late 80s for a junior drivers series where he was representing VIC.Showed promise as a driver back then and has had a good 30+ year career in the sulky since. I am…

Spot on TheDiva. Does anyone know when the next event Optus Stadium will host will actually be?No International cricket for Perth this Summer, the Eastcoast holding all of the domestic cricket in hubs over there, no big concerts for the near future?…

How good the drive Lochinvar Art 10/10. It was a brilliant drive by Moran - which won him the race- and all credit to him However in my opinion - John Caldow ( who drove one of the Craig Cross stablemates - the 1 trailing the leader at the bell ) w…

Tivers how could you possibly expect to hold a WAFL GF contested by SD, EP, WP or Perth at the prehistoric Fremantle Oval?It would not hold enough for a start.It is a mile away for those supporters to travel too.There is no seating whatsoever other …
