Sydney will be dangerous if they make the top 4, especially for sides that love an expansive, high possession game, as Sydney will lock them down and strangle them. Even if they do finish outside the 4, they could cause some serious headaches for a side like the Bulldogs or Hawthorn due...

Wow, short memory you have. Shall we refresh? WA, since entering the Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup, has won 6 more titles in the period than Victoria has. We've also won 11 one day domestic titles (the most of any of the states), in comparison with Victoria's 4 titles, sitting in 4th position...

Is religion not a personal thing? Yet you want to judge someone based upon their faith and dictate to them the way they should exercise their faith and the way they should be perceived to act.

All of this media hype has also drawn attention away from the fact that India were in a good position to draw the test and that that's where the game looked to be headed, yet they choked and lost. India need to take a good look at themselves before blaming anyone else, at it seems to me to...

This is one of the most turgid, vile and toxic pieces of journalism I have ever read, maybe even eclipsing the Robert Walls 'evil' article at the start of the 2007 AFL season. It smacks of hyperbole and broad, sweeping tabloidesque statements that fail to hit their target, unless of course...

For all future allegations of 'feralness' levelled at West Coast by C*ocker supporters, please refer to Street Talk in Freo. A picture tells 1000 words; more in this case, and it has audio

Why must useless posts such as this always be made by Fremantle fans? Ask yourself when you entered the league who controlled your merchandising and intellectual property rights and still does etc... Fremantle is a franchise of the AFL (like West Coast and technically every other 14 clubs...

I completely agree. If we, West Coast, get our best team on the park and the players in form, we'll win the Premiership. At the moment though it's looking like a dogfight to just finish in the Top 4. Assuming we do however, which most likely means we'd have won a few good away victories...

What's wrong with Connections?

A night out in Perth with Pav... it's almost enough to make me homesick, thinking about sitting here in Copenhagen missing such a monumental event

He did such a good job that Selwood was able to continue playing, racking up touches, and then wind Headland up a little more after the game, intentionally or not.

You seem to be pushing your own agenda and using the system to justify it. Firstly in relation to the groundshare issue, did you think outside of the Premier League to the Serie A, where Inter and AC share the San Siro and Roma and Lazio share the Olimpico Stadium. It really doesn't matter...

Re: Fremantle...the most pathetic club in the AFL That proves my point. I'm not the one trying to espouse the great Fremantle footballing tradition myth. The difference between the other sides is that they've been established for many years and prior to the AFL, all played at grounds that...

Re: Fremantle...the most pathetic club in the AFL It's a complete myth that the Dockers are representative of Fremantle football, and certainly can't lay claim to any of the premierships that East or South Fremantle have won in a competition completely separate from a competition the Dockers...

Re: Fremantle...the most pathetic club in the AFL Larry I don't know why you even bothered raising any of those points... I just thought it was a given :D

The problem with building a new stadium in Perth is also where to build it. There seems to be a consensus among the public that there are 3 main areas of the city to build it: 1. Cockburn 2. Joondalup/Northern Suburbs 3. Entertainment Centre Therefore whoever said that it's a political...

Any player in the Embley and Goodes mould Athletic big men capable of going back or forward destroy sides. Best example would be someone like Koutafides (sp?) in his prime Hird is also so dangerous, as he not only plays like a chameleon, but even when tackled etc, still manages to kick goals...

Dan, you also haven't seemed to consider that perhaps we are 'that good', by virtue of the fact that we managed to beat quality sides week in week out, regardless of whether it was by 1 point or 100 points. Essendon cakewalked the GF by 60 points because they were that good, but also Melbourne...

Pretty silly to compare money and results in a system where players can't be bought or sold due to the draft system, unlike other sports such as soccer. You may be able to provide better facilities, but financial muscle isn't a decisive factor in who you're able to draft. Pointless thread...

There's gotta be more of that somewhere. Classic

You're missing the point. Racial discrimination is something completely different from being disadvantaged. Discrimination implies that there are particular policies aimed at a certain group or race of people, intended to disadvantage them. You can be disadvantaged through your own actions...

Wow, you're really clever, considering we're talking about discrimination in a racial context, not factors such as age and financial situation, which apply to everyone in society regardless of race

'Positive-discrimination' is a flawed concept Any way you look at it, it's discrimination, which is inherently negative

I wouldn't object to him playing for us for a season or two, rebounding off half back with Wirra etc He's always been a player I've admired and to me his performance hasn't dropped significantly with age. The only problem would be fitting him in under the salary cap and also hampering the...

When I read that I assumed Michael Gardner must have crasher another car on his way to pick up something to eat somewhere

Don Pike - great footballer, originally from Illinois I think, works as a lawyer/business oriented

I still maintain that Worsfold, although not the most skilled footballer, was the heart and soul of West Coast under Malthouse, and still is the heart and soul of the club. Peter Matera lit things up with 5 goals in a Grand Final the biggest highlight I didn't include Judd for the sheer fact...

By giving concessions and recognising divisions based on race, although perhaps in a well meaning way, aren't you reinforcing divisions within Australian society? ie are they Aboriginal first and then Australian, or just not Australian at all?

My West Coast 3 (although it's impossible) 1. Peter Matera 2. John Worsfold 3. Glen Jakovich I think that the above three have contributed the most to West Coast in terms of success through their on field actions. Some very, very notable exceptions, and could be substituted in for just about...

Why must everyone try and lump blame onto someone in a game such as the Grand Final, a game so tight that the margins for error are so minimal that someone could have gone from zero to hero in a split second. Embley wins the Norm Smith but should've perhaps put the game beyond doubt in the...
