Think we lost Robbie Grey in the second qtr in that game last year.It was a wet and windy day and Robbie was BOG before he was injured.
Robbie got smashed into the turf early. We played that game like we played the Hawks a couple weeks back...it was putrid. Was the beginning of the end of 2018.
 
Our next game is huge 8th vs 9th away to Freo.It appears Freo have already lost Alex Pearce and now Rory Lobb for a month with a foot injury. The star of there last two wins Walters is still battling knee soreness.We might get Freo at the right time.
I’m sure we had Freo in Perth last year at The Right Time as we put in a horrible performance.
You are correct in saying it’s a big game for our season.
Let’s hope the players understand that also.

Yep I remember it well for all the wrong reasons. I had a wedding to go to that day and got home half way through, I couldn't believe what I was watching.
 
Anyone give the $wan$ a chance today? After all they haven’t lost to wet toast at the scg since 1999
I did just need pies to win 2morrow to finish i nice little multi payday tempted do cash out because if melb had the same ins last wk they win.

Yes it was a real season ending performance.
Freo kicking away in the last on a shocking weather day like we are getting now in Perth.
Be interesting to see just how we go this week with selections with a lot of players pushing to come back.
Would love a fit and ready Dixon just not sure if they will risk him on the Perth track.

I must have missed the conversation on this. Who is Adam Goodes?

Goodes is one of the greatest players of the modern era. Dual Brownlow medallist who played over 300 games for Sydney. In his final year of football in 2015, he took a stand against racism which sparked a fair bit of controversy. Wikipedia should have a chronicle of events. It wasn't a great few months for the competition.

Somehow, I expect that he did something wrong in behalf of a good cause, and AFL, with this announcement, would NOT help fixing the issue.
 
It was an ugly period but there are matters of context that get lost in history and a little more grey area than most will admit to. Goodes was never in the wrong but he was never perfect.

Things just got way out of control.

Hee hee you do like to stir things up in a slow week ;)

And in the interests of full disclosure, I have booed Adam Goodes, when he was lining up a kick against us at the SCG in 2006. I think it worked, as it seems he didn't score that week. I might add I would have done the same to Barry Hall, who was nowhere near the player Goodes was.
 
With the team Freo had out there we should have won anyway. It was a terrible team performance.
It was the game that broke me last year
Can the game on Saturday at least be better than that game last year? Worst game I've ever seen.
 
If J Martin gets games for collecting Ziebell high the league may as well re name the league VFL.
