My mistake DF. It is blue with a white v. So rest easy your ancestral home is not the dreaded colours

Don’t scare me like that OD. Your reminder me of my pre 1999 support for that turn coat club I vowed to never support again after  our loss in the 1998 WAFL Grand Final! That was to day I decided to support another team in the AFL. At the time I was thinking of supporting MessyDrugs because they had a few ex West Perth player. Thank the gods I decided to support another club that has the best team colours and song!

I see now why my Great Grandparents decided to move to Western Australia, their local soccer team colours. Who can blame them?

I doubt the soccer club existed then.

I would like 9-0 but prefer a flag. Hate to think we are undefeated all season but loss the grand final.

Looks like the Weid issue is solved, with Jackos busted finger, keeping him out for a week or two.

Whoever wants must provide a pick in the first five this year and their first round pick in 2022.

Lets all hope Weid plays well in a winning side and stays in from now on and signs a new contract extension fairly soon.

It would be nice for him to do well in a winning side and be part of it again. Will help with re signing him.

I am not holding my breath. But do have my fingers crossed.

It is a good feeling when players have to fight for a position in the senior side.

Now you are making me feel hungry Uncle Bitters!

The Big W was kept goalless so I guess size does not matter.

Well that’s a start. 

It’s Monday after a 9 zero start to the year. But after not attending a game since 2019 I am strangely blasé about the MFC and football. Watching on tv has always been secondary for me. Perhaps now my job is done. Paying memberships and attending games to support the team over 50 years is no longer required. 

We now seem to have a team that is A grade and will be power for some time, add we are looking good in the financial department and it appears my work is done. I can enjoy not being concerned  about it’s  survival and ignore the AFL in total. Enjoy everyone you deserve it.

That's quite a morbid take on things old dee.

You should be jumping for joy.

I have given him a pass for this week seeing as how he has not played a senior game for nine months but he will need to improve quite a bit next week.

I thought Weid was buffeted and had his arms chopped every time he went for a mark, same as BB, both without any free kicks while Blues got soft frees all game. That said it wasn’t a great game from Weid and BB was poor. It will take time.

Based on that game Jackson will have little trouble getting back into the side.

Yes definitely thought there were two sets of rules in play for the big forwards yesterday. McKay got 2 pretty soft ones awarded for chopping arms that ended in goals but up the other end Weid and Fritsch seemed get similar treatment but play on?
