Stop it. The WACA was a solid venue.
There wasn’t any lights at Subi at the time, so the WACA did all the night games in WA.

The first 6 rounds of WCE/Freo home games in 1995 were done at the WACA as Subiaco was under construction, Rd 7 was the first derby (WC home game).
Honestly I'd now drop Fyfe purely based off the changes they just announced to the holding the ball call.
What's the record for most HTB calls against a player?

Does anyone have Nic Suban's email.

I don't think it'll happen, but I'd be giving Fyfe a spell until our next home game. Play Erasmus against Melbourne and the Dogs.

Best victories in 98 were Norths and Saints at the WACA. Winnie's hang was at the WACA. The Flying Egg's soccer from the boundary was at the WACA.

Agree. Used to love some of those WACA night games, 20000-25000 fans, nip over to Gloucester Park afterwards or sometimes at half-time. Remember some games when it absolutely pissed down.

Went to one of those games and there was a willy wagtail displaying on the boundary in front of us all game. Real commitment from the little dude at night in pissing rain.
The rain coming down from those WACA lights looked really cool.
Kind of wish I went to at least one footy game at the WACA.

I reckon I never saw a Freo game at the WACA. Dirty birds yes*, Olyroos yes, Western Reds yes, Perth Glory yes. Us no. Would have been something to dine out on even 25 years later if I'd been there when Wills kicked that goal.
*Pre Freo in my defense. Was the game Lamb swallowed his mouthgaurd so what 1991? Was in a private box too in the Prinderville (I have no idea how).

You might have a chance if Gather Round ever comes here, since they are renovating it for football atm.
Fyfe's problem is he is strong enough to sort of get free and look like he has a chance to dispose of the ball. But he has lost the pure power to bust the tackle completely, and ends up incorrectly disposing the ball.
It annoys me how it gets adjudicated ... when you have no prior and make an attempt and only partially break free, then you get pinged. But if you are weaker and/or just let the tackle swallow you with no genuine attempt, then it is a ball up. Some of our players could be smarter in just letting themselves get wrapped up.
Doesn't help when teams like Sydney and Collingwood are allowed to routinely throw the ball after getting tackled.
If he can't find any space in our forwardline, it might be a good idea. He is getting buried atm. Jackson and Treacy need to demand more attention so they can't as easily double team Amiss all the time.

Couple of changes flagged. Interesting. Thought maybe it would have just been Fred in Emmett/Wags out.
