We have played Freo over there EVERY year. From 96 to 2007 12 times. In that same period we played WCE over there 10 times. The years we missed out on were 2002 and 2004 Of more interest is that we didn't have a HOME (incl Yoork Park Tasmania) game against Freo in 96, 98, 99, 200, 01, 03. Similarly ...

Yes we have played WCE 21 times
9 home
12 away

So as per Dimwits "level playing field" policy it would make more sense to get it out to 9-13.

That would be consistent with the 7-12 Home-Away Freo "level playing field" draw.

My point behind this thread is that it is pleasing to see that we are no longer being dictated to by "false" economic models. So what if we make a loss on the gate receipts today. It is far more important to get the 4 points. The lesson is we must not give away HOME games. It has cost us ...

Is this right - Do we want WEstern Bulldogs to win in a tight one ???? Yes But it won't happen. But Adel then have to face Brisbane and Collingwood. So they will most likely drop one of them. And Brisbane play Geelong in R22 And Ess play Rich, then WCE in R22 So chances are Adel, Brisb and Ess will...

Milney played well against the Dockers ... kicked 2.3 and created a few opportunities. Since the break, he has scored: 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2 and 2 goals ... Nice to see him consistently bagging a couple ... but even a 3-goal effort would be nice!! I don't so much have a problem with his 16 goals i...

The most likely scenario is that (after Adel win tomorrow) Brisbane, Adelaide and Essendon will each drop one of their last two tough games. This would mean that one more win would be just enough to secure 8th spot for us. So we can afford to lose to WCE. But it is basically in our hands now. If we ...

Actually some good news from the concourse.

The Classical Gas man seems to have learnt a new song.

I didn't quite catch what it was.
But it definitely WASN'T Classical Gas

Im glad someone started a thread on this..was gonna emntion it in the Member Services thread Those raffle ticket sellers are without doubt THE most irritating aspect of a day at the footy. They raise stuff all money for the COub and are intrusive and perstering to the point of extreme annoyance. Th...

Any X tickets ?

Yes agree RISKS AND PRESSURE At the Bulldogs game 2 weeks ago, once we lost possession we literally had players just turn their back on the play and run back to form a wall at the defensive 50. Today we manned up a lot more and had players harrass and pressure the ball carrier . My favourite was X m...

Well done cheer squad - and Riccardo

One of our better banners.

I posted this on BigFooty: There are: 1. No eyewitnesses except members of the general public. Those officials who can make admissable statements did not see the incident. 2. No conclusive video evidence. 3. No physical evidence of Baker's guilt - the only physical evidence is of Farmer being assau...

Totally agree Dan.

Vossy ALWAYS gives 100%.
And some of his inspirational one percenters set the tone for the more skilled players.

He will never be a key forward.
But there is always room for a 3rd or 4th decoy forward with a fanatical defensive side who can kick a goal.

It is players like NDS that can weave some magic to break the floods. Look no further than his carry from a centre clearance to goal from 48m in the second quarter. Forget Milne's pot shot, the NDS special was the goal of the day. A gamebreaking goal. Players with his skills don't have to be super d...

After four successive losses we have finally beaten the Dockers. Reason ? Whilst I believe we are a better team. The real reason is that we have now played them 19 times. BUT ONLY FOUR TIMES AT OUR "HOME" GROUNDS - twice at Waverley in 95 & 97 - twice at Docklands in 2004 and today The...

The Wife Basher is the most contemptible player in the entire competition. Just hate his guts. He is a piece of excrement with limbs. A wife bashing, mirror breaking, drunken, selfish, self-centred, edited by mod , overweight, brain-dead, whingeing, stool on legs. If, and it is only supposition beca...

Let him have a full pre-season.
Then watch him go.

Worst one was when The Wife Basher marked in the Social Club pocket in the 2nd qtr just outside 50 - he definitely played on - was then tackled.
It was either a free to us for holding the ball or a free to him for a tackle that slipped below the knee.

Instead the Maggot paid a 50m penalty.

Actually a shame it wasn't Byron on the receiving end.
That would have been poetic justice.

Disgraceful.
Could have been Neil Sachse Mark 2.

It inspired Melb to come from 42 points down to within a goal.

Lets play Collylotto
- I'll nominate 8 weeks

I was looking forward to booing and abusing that drug taking p1sshead.

Will just have to make do with abusing the wife-basher tomorrow.

Clasping at straws.

Voss played his first game against a Fitzroy side with Lyon in it.
Lyon played his last game for Brisbane in a side with Voss in it.
They are the same height.
Their surnames are both 4 letters.

Is that unique enough ?

Thommo deserves a better farewell for his loyal service. A bit biased as our family business (in Brisvegas) sponsors him through the club's player sponsorship programme. Agree he'd be great in a media role as he is well spoken, knowledgable (can roll out lines from Matt Hardy's teriffic "Satud...
