    List Mgmt. Welcome Jack Petruccelle (Pick 38, 2017 National Draft)

    In his interview, said he wants to work on his skills. Not sure if others agree, but I have the impression that he is a very good user of the ball by foot?

    4 Rounds in, everyone's lost.

    This season is the most open and confusing season yet... ...they said at the start of every season since the bronze age

    Toast Mark Hutchings -100 games

    Will go down in the annals of blue and gold history for playing his part in bringing the cup home, Critically, restricting Steele Sidebottom's influence to 14 disposals in the Grand Final. Bravo!

    To boo or to not boo: Scott Lycett

    Alas, he chose riches, over loyalty. Not admirable, but then again, I have no ill feeling towards him. He has done what many have done before him, and made a sterling contribution to the blue and gold. As such, would disapprove of any motions to boo him.

    intro for west coast song

    I'm a man of antiquity, so would have preferred the traditional rendition. However, I must say, I like the combative words of this new ballad!

    Resource 2018 Financial statement

    The near 30 per cent increase in revenue over the year is staggering. What is also impressive is the near $40m in cash, quite impressive considering the club is in the midst of constructing a new training facility.

    Preview How will we line up in R1 v Brisbane Lions?

    My sense is that if we want to go back-to-back, having a strong and stable group is critical. So I think we need to make changes where absolutely necessary or warranted. For instance, I think there were only three new players in the 2014 Hawks premiership team, compared to the 2013 Hawks...

    Analysis The 2018 premiership is the high point of WC's history

    It is quite laughable that they are "united" by a colour, rather than an aspiration or values, say... WINNING A GOD FORSAKEN FLAG?

    Up the Coasters Eagles are the 2018 premiers!!!!

    I second this motion. Would be tremendous to have compilation of the post-siren jubilation of the West Coast players, coach, staff, and supporters.

    Adam Simpson meets with AFL to discuss the inequalities that interstate teams put up with

    Posters who argue "well that's the way its always been", you are lazy and clearly unconcerned about your team receiving an advantage from the league. You know the league fails every season to make very achievable adjustments to the competition [many of which have been outlined in this thread]...

    Dom Sheeds goal

    Generally, I think set shots on goal after the siren to win the game are quintessentially more "clutch". However, given the context, the game up until that point, the time left, the preceding passage of play, the angle and the drop punt, and premiership on the line, it has to be arguably one...

    MCG to host GF through to 2057

    Yeah because it's all about money and not about fairness? I suppose then if Clive Palmer offered the AFL a billion dollars for the Tigers to play all their games in in some bogan town in Queensland you wouldn't have a problem with it.

    MCG to host GF through to 2057

    "National competition" is a misnomer. There is no other national sporting code on planet earth that does this. Even worse are those that believe that it doesn't place any teams in a disadvantage...

    MVP John Worsfold Medal 2017

    Does anybody have the complete list of votes for each player for the 2017 John Worsfold medal? I understand that this is included in the annual magazine, but I don't have a copy.

    Who will be the last team to be beaten by GC and GWS?

    Being the only team that has not lost to an expansion club is a humble but freakin' awesome achievement. Stop being party poopers and let us drink from the cup of immortality!!!

    Think Tank Fremantle 100 point watch: Season 2016 edition.

    Mr Ahmadinejad is soooo last presidential term buddy. If you like to label people by the name of their elected leaders, then you can call me Mr Rouhani. Though, technically that is also incorrect because I live in Australia and I have never visited the glorious mother land.

    Think Tank Fremantle 100 point watch: Season 2016 edition.

    Asking Fremantle to kick more than 100 points, is like asking a cat to take a swim in the ocean, it is completely against its inherent nature. Ross Lyon is essentially that dude throwing the screaming feline into the tide and thinking that he somehow convinced the little wet hairball.

    2016 - Best 22

    When I was doing this exercise I liked how we have two new players that are certainly in the best 22 (Jetta and Redden), and we lost two players that were borderline best 22 (Rosa and Selwood). The odd one out was Sinclair, who was best 22 but would eventually make way for Lycett.

    How bizarre is this t-shirt selling on the Eagles website? Mind you, there is something weirdly cool seeing the ninja turtles don the wings.

    We were getting a vehicle freighted over from the east coast and that has been delayed, even though it was not on the derailed train. So pretty much anything on rail from East to West has been delayed.

    Certified Legendary Thread Winged Guernsey Petition/Letter - #ReturnTheWings: WINGS RETURNED, PERIL RETURNED - JOB DONE!

    Trivia: Adidas and Puma were founded by two German brothers, who were previously partners in a sports shoe company, until a feud divided them and resulted in the two large companies we see today.
