Said f*** knuckle remanded and venue banned him for life (hopefully the new venue and WACA too). AFL have a chance to make a positive statement about violence at sport and violence against women. I hope they take it.

They didn't in the Dogs v Collingwood game earlier this year. In fact, you couldn't have swept that incident under the carpet any better.

Norf need to top up with another couple of old farts - come on Brad, you know what to do

Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread

Norf are a very slow team, and move the ball too slowly. They also rely too much on a big mark in the forward line, constantly bombing to Petrie, Waite and Brown, Last night WCoast were on to this and didn't let them mark much in the forward 50.

Talk about game plans, Brad needs to change quickly and get the right players in the team. However, having one of the oldest playing lists, this will take time.

They give away so many stupid free kicks for head high tackles. A sneaky bastard like Milne would have kicked 10 from free kicks alone.

I noticed it against us too.

Jeezus I detest Scott Thompson.

And Firrito.

And Waite.

And Harvey (though he's still bloody good!).

Full of ****heads.

You've forgotten to add in a leader in the category - Lindsay Thomas.

And Nahas.

And Brad Scott.

They're not a great tackling team generally. Watching Shuey break a string of tackles to kick a pivotal goal last night reminded me of Bont & Stringer when we played them. Was hoping for the shot of BS in the coaches box mouthing 'that was embarassing'.

Unless its caught on camera the AFL are very happy to say it doesn't happen in their game.

Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread

What can we learn from the finals series in regards to our team?

* In another thread, suggestion of the interest in seeing how far WC can go with an undersized defence.
* Even though they got one week deeper, I think our team balance is better than North.
* Some recycled players doing pretty well. Schoenmaker, Higgins, Wellingham all doing well in finals. Who is out of contract we might be able to turn around?
* Watching how Hawthorn move it, some similarities to us. Heartening, and not surprising, given the coach's lineage.

Schoenmaker is not recycled, he was draft by the Hawks

Sorry, I should have added 'second tier'. He was woeful a year or so ago.The whipping boy of Hawthorn supporters.

Just reading about how Nathan Fyfe was the leading clearance player (9) on Friday night despite playing nearly the entire match with a broken leg (fractured fibula). Fair effort. Fair player.

Wow, talk about determination.

Re: AFL Finals 2015 Discussion Thread

Has Barrett had a go at Freo for playing Fyfe with a fractured leg?

As many of you are aware I have not regularly posted on here for 4 years due to my role with the AFL.
I have been lucky enough to be appointed to timekeep the Grand Final. Looking forward to the big day.

Well done, that is a real honour for you.
