Really need Scheider to step us this week as the crumbing forward.

What is your basis for this comment?

Just checked - Channel 7 in Perth showing Saints/Cats at 10.30 pm THAT NIGHT!!!!!!

I've noted that Fremantle's game is on the same afternoon as our game v Cats and that Fox are covering that game. That also means that the Freo game will also get free to air coverage. Given that the free-to-air carriers do not televise "live against the gate", does that mean that Channel ...

Also what's the weather like in July generally? I've been there in May and June and apart from a bit of rain, it wasn't too cold. Is July colder? It's either pissing rain or sunny in Winter - very rarely is it in between. Rain is almost always frontal - once front passes, it's sunny again. But if i...

Gram is really important to our structure. He gives us run and carry. We missed him last week and looked static at times. Raph Clarke plays a different role for mine, and I hope that the coaching team don't see them as interchangeable. Don't like Gram out of the team and hope there's a bloody good r...

Sorry Rog, can't make it this week.

You jest of course.

Bone dry over here, always has been.

You people are amusing. When is the best time to bring someone back? When they firckin deserve it. Why rush Max? Yup Brown / Bradshaw. So let's risk him and he goes down again for another 3 months. Goose? Well I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but the boy has to start his career allover again, ...

Overstating it a tad, isn't it?

Reckon if Lloyd was paid the mark, kicked straight, and put em within three kicks, things could have been interesting... Woulda coulda shoulda etc, I know... We didn't attack with any real fluency at all after quarter time. And I think they did threaten. Well and truly. I don't think we were flash ...

may be 10 mins late got my regular round of golf sunday may pick up a few demerit points cutting the 1/2 hr drive from the golf course to the pub down to 10 mins winning the footy will be worth blowing 1/2 doz points & a couple hundred bucks hope to christ easterns not reading this Great to see...

I have just heard that we will be wearing our clash strip on Sunday. We are the HOME team and should be wearing our HOME strip FFS! But apparently Essendon's clash strip clashes with our home strip... (get your head around that!!) If this is true, it's bloody ridiculous that the AFL signed off on E...

See ya there Rog.

The usual Roger?

Do you have to book the room?

Interesting video of Roo's kicking action.

Still drops it from too high - need to lower his hands and keep guiding the ball with his right hand lower onto his foot....still too much room for error in his kicking style.

I thought Ross said King won't play this week?

Must now be a chance to come up?

My only worry this week is us coming off a 6 day break to the Bombers coming off a 9 day break (rubbish fixturing in my opinion). I think there should be no form changes but if there are 1 or 2 players that are sore, they should be replaced. Both Raph and Eddy are fresh and I don't think we can aff...

Ross Lyon has already said King won't play becoz of hammy and Hudghton will play in the magoos.

Doubt Maguire will come in unless other injuries are sustained.

Therefore, no change.

Yeah, I wonder what that's like, living in Perth and not barracking for the Eagles?

Six day turnaround versus 8 days - could be a factor?

Probably to give us some comfort that we are not going to repeat 2004!

very interesting to see how confident you guys are. "Confident", eh? You called us "arrogant" over at your forum. Obviously a bit more careful with your wording on this forum, eh? Mate, let me explain something to you. This is a club which has won one Premiership in 140 years, w...

Anyone who thinks the pies will be easy are IMO badly misguided. They have a history of winning games that they shouldnt. I think we will win but it will be a very tough game. Malthouse has a habit of lifting them and is a great tactical coach. They also can on occasions be a very good tackling sid...

Clash strips suck big time, with the exception of the candy stripes of course and the only reason the AFL claims we need to wear a clash jumper against Collingwood is because Eddy changed their traditional jumper that they wore for over 90 years about 8 years ago. Collingwood are the club that shou...
