Love it, thanks Jack. You've just got to get used to the feeling.
Used to it... it is dejavu! Hopefully we'll finish off strong but losses to Easts and Shark were unexcusable and unfortunately very Swan Districts like.
At least we are looking at a finals berth!
Just interested, who here is a member of the great club?
Well, hopefully we can put a dent in that this weekend
I'm going to try and head down, I think

I wasn't going to tell him Jack. Would have been amusing to see 1 lonely Lach at Freo oval, tapping his fingers in agitation waiting for the team and supporters to turn up. Well, that's what I had pictured anyway.

Sorry for taking the piss Lach, you are a genius at the end of the day, because we only have to head to the lounge room to watch this entertaining clash on Saturday.
It's supposed to be the broadcast match of the day. I've been asked to attend a function at East Perth so have to head down there, but that should be good.Yep, I've got my membership, plus 1 extra junior one. Funny story that, I wanted a junior Swans footy for my boys, but the club said they didn't have any. I could see over the counter and saw all these footballs in white bags and asked how I could get one of them. Anyway, my 8yo is now stoked because he has his own membership, just so I could get a Swans football

Very admirable, particulary as he gets in free but it's not the point is it. I'd encourage everyone to buy a membership, you don't get much for it but the pride you feel when you put that sticker on your car is immense. I've been dragging the old boy down there as he played Colts and seconds for Swannies and like to catch up with old mates. I've also dragged my Wife, she actually prefers WAFL atmosphere to the AFL game I took her to

Yeah, I'm sorry for having a chuckle at your expense, but stuff me if we can't beat Sowfs. Just don't have the mindset to do it.

Hey Chrsco, noticed that you are respected on this board, from that I guess you have a sound knowledge of WAFL footy.
What are your thoughts on potential WAFL rookies/ late pick-ups ala Clint Jones.
Has anyone stood out this year to the point where they cannot be ignored?
Personally being a souths fan I think Reece Adams and Nathan Phillips are doing alot of things right. Both 19/20 and playing some really good footy.
Broughton from Subi?
Liam Anthony and Wolfenden.
Richardson and Ballyntyne, even Triplett.
Are these blokes a genuine chance or are we just gunning for our local boys with Rose coloured glasses?
Richardson doesn;t do anything for me.
Too runty.
I like Phillips.

Anthony and Wolfenden are the most likely IMO. Followed by Ballantyne and Richardson. I'm with Lach on Richardson, can't see him being overly useful at the next level because there will be bigger more mobile defenders on him. Oliver from EP might have been a chance but I think he's been playing a bit of reserves so not likely now. Garlett from Swans is also being looked at and Adams I would think is more likely than Phillips, although I do like Phillips. Siekerka and Seamus Young are also rumoured to being scrutinised by the AFL clubs.
I don't see as many being taken as last year simply because it was a shallower draft and some of the 19/20 yo's that had missed out the year before just stood out.

Cheers. I know West Coast are looking at Wolfenden.

I was going to put something positive here Jack, but I see Notte is out so I'm in the depths of depression with you!
Was at the game...Good for 3 quarters then fell in a heap

Which is what I expected when you've got a large chunk of experience and your first 22 players out. Did a great job with what they had, I thought, couldn't run with Subi all day. Then when I saw Yarran at the ice cream truck with me, I thought, holy toledo, we'll be lucky to be within 120 points by the end of the day.
You reckon?...he makes Richardson look like an Iron man.
Jeffrey Garlett on the other hand

Well, with 7 Black Ducks players being invited to Draft Camp, out of 13 or so WA boys, not a bad effort. Most of them everyone knows, Naita, Yarran, Walters, Jetta, but congrats also to Jarrad Blight from the colts. Liked the look of him early in the season and have followed his form and will get to see him again tomorrow, so hopefully he has a good one.
Well done black ducks.

After 10 years (or so it feels) of not being able to beat the bulldogs I wouldn't be surprised, but I shall be there to witness it no matter what!
Maybe the tribunal will do us some favours, eh?
