  • Another great win in Vic by the WA Champ.
  • Gee JJ Microfiche was a very good pacer for Ray Duffy.Probably best remembered for beating Village Kid one night in a decent race (possibly a Pacing Cup heat or Interdominion heat) at GP at cricket score odds 100/1 or close to?
  • As FD posted that was great reading JJ.Gee there are some great names listed there both horse and human.
  • The likes of Jordan "PSA" McArdle and the types fascination with the afl draft is absolutely sickening and somewhat disturbing.He has been banging on about it for months already and the bloody draft isnt held until the end of November for gods sake.…

  • The Frog looked a bit scratchy to me in the bit heading back to scale. I think Barry had some foot issues with him or something for a while. He was retired not long after that too from memory Curmudgeon.
  • Another ripper thanks JJ.Gee what a super pacer he was Preux Chevalier.
  • Another flawless performance from Leo ...what a great horse he was He is so underrated Curmudgeon especially by the Eastern States mafia I mean media.I remember Bob Maumill years ago on 6pr had Adam Hamilton on previewing an Interdominion series (p…
  • Fantastic video JJ.Gee they were great days back then not only in the trots but WA sport full stop.
  • Haha yes JJ and John Armstong came in at very late notice too to replace the previous Colts coach.The WAFC would be happy though Claremont's Colts finished in the Top 5 for an unbelieveable 47th season in a row (and yet still wont dilute their zone …
  • The WAFL played a huge part in Ch7's dominance in the WA media market with its massive popularity through the 1960s, 70s & 80s of its coverage and shows like World Of Football with the Dad's Army lead by the late great Frank Sparrow and others l…
  • How pathetic and laughable was that absolute tripe on Ch7 last night.....WA Footys Top 10 Moments.For a start someone should point out to the numptys at Ch7 football in WA did NOT start in 1987 the WAFL actually commenced 102 years before that in 18…
  • I see Footscray have " won " the free kick count in their last 8 finals  Also 4 of the last 6 seasons - they have had the best free kick differential in their favour in the whole  competition  They are the statistics - every other team in the comp w…

  • Why would you have a five horse trotting race  as race 10 at  g.p. 15.13. primetime in pubs on friday afternoon for tradies-- and dish-up tripe for anyone on the way to the football.-surely  race 6  or even the york cup. should have been r.10 to pro…
  • Eddie Maguire and his two silverspoon sons not allowed in for GF. There is a god. The absolute gall of the bloke even trying to get himself and his 2 non essential sons here in WA for the GF is headshaking but not surprising! Wasnt it McGuire only…
  • Hutton joined up with the Eagles when John Todd was there but didnt go too flash and went back to the Swannies and i think he was in the 1990 GF. He certainly did play in our 1990 Premiership side OH, he even wore Brad Shine's number 2 jumper as a m…
  • Brent Hutton? VK will be onto this like a steward onto a crook drive! Spot on JJ, it was Brent Hutton.
  • I see Tom Morris has today again changed his opinion re Clarkson to Blues. Seriously the guy is lower than a snakes belly. All care and no responsibility. Hope Teague sues the **** off him when all this settles. The footy media are pretty much clu…
  • VK what is your connection to SD. Obviously by your comments on here it is very strong. Lifelong supporter/member FD.Have also had family and friends play at Swans.
  • VK, did Brad Shine come back from Carlton and play for the swannies again? i moved over east before that and WAFL is unheard of in the papers over there. Yes he did OH.Played at Swans from 1980-84, then went to Carlton and played there from 1985-88 …
  • VK would know for sure but I think Peter Hodyll is still the president at Swannies. Yes JJ Peter Hodyl has been our President since 2012/13.He was Captain of our Premiership team in 1990 with skipper Brad Shine out injured.
  • A mate of my late fathers in the years prior to his passing. Visited him every Friday no matter what time Friday always before midday they would down a couple of Stubbs. I always called him Watty Thought his first name was Keith . Was a good mate …
  • What was the go with Don Holmes ( very good player ) he was playing in a state of Origin game in WA - I think it was him  And he wore a protective  helmet  for the 1st time - and the commentators - George  and the TV - the whole lot of them mucked i…
  • Was a 16yo kid at school in Midland. Was the year Swans won there first final of the eighties. Bob Manning’s (think he was president) son whom I was in my year at school sold me a Swans flag for $15 bucks. Caught the 8.00 AM train from Midland with …
  • Seeing it is the Swan Districts glory days  reviewed  But  did  Swan Districts -  hammer absolute smash Sth Frem -was it the 2nd semi ( thats my 1st guess ) because i went - long time ago - Subiaco on the outer side towards the right hand end - re s…
  • Another couple of notable inclusions VK.Could have been M.Rance & D.Penny Yes SK they were rippers as well. You can also add Beasley, Mullooly, Hutton, G.Sidebottom, Fitzgerald, Johns, Casey, Gillespie, Cransberg, Marshall, Nowotny, Brenton, Het…
  • VK - you have named alot of Swan Districts players who played in that era - but you left the best one out - the best  one out by a mile  As for Fremantle - they have been in the competition for 27 seasons - mathematically - statistically speaking yo…
  • Ron the Roo dog didnt need much talent, just the sight of him had most players **** themselves. i remember when he grabbed that garlic muncher by the throat and lifted him up a foot off the ground and tossed him about ten feet away after he hit him …
