pineapple dee

Just remind me again how many games we've lost when this kid is in the side. I would suggest it's smallish percentage. Keep him in. He is our talisman.

Why are people disparaging the Village People ?? If we have to meet the West Coast in the prelim, I will do what the Village People suggest and ' Go West ' (

What exactly was wrong with the Spice Girls ???

Jetta though

Jane, you seem to have too much cash. You can give some to me if you like. I'm a bit skint at the moment and the Salvos are doing well.

It's possible. Wet Toast in Perth is no one's idea of fun though we managed to knock them over. Question is, does the AFL deem it more important to get the filth into a prelim over the West Australian team ???

Let's give Goody 3 more years and be done with it !! All those in favour say aye.

Could we get Brendon Goddard to the deees for a specific role ?? We don't currently have a leader type to point and yell at teammates. Goddard could fill that role....and he's good at it.

Noice !!!!

I think it's fairly clear that Olivers falling over ploy was a plan to get the ball to Harmes via 3 Melbourne players because he knew Harmes would kick the goal. Talk about forward planning!!!! Whose mind works like that?? I'll tell you. No otherAFL player at all.

And you're saying it's not rigged and the coaches and umpires are not in on it ?? Amazing claim

This is arrant nonsense. The are plenty of conspiracies in the AFL . None of them involve the Deeees being favoured by umpires to enable us to win a football match. Your conspiracy theory has no legs.

The only time Jack Dyer was suspended was when my grandfather, a goal umpire, reported him. Quite proud of that.

Darling wasn't concussed. Even the usually dull West Coast supporters have noted Darling, feigning concussion, caused the West Coasts doctors to take the cautious approach and prevent him returning to the game. They rightly said he was milking it for a free, which Was what I thought at the time. It was virtually the perfect tackle. There will be no action taken against McDonald.

And when Nev comprehensively outmarked him, that was the biggest sulk by a beaten player ever in the history of Aussie rules in Perth. Beautiful to watch.

My abiding memory of last year's game was the soft response of the West coast players when Viney knocked Hurn on his arzzz. Who is going to be our Jack Viney today. Goodness knows we need one. The role is open to anyone in the red and blue.

A stadium the profligate State government handed over 10s of millions of dollars to build, at the expense of so many worthy causes. The stench of government waste is all over that stadium and these filthy mange infested cats have the effrontery to claim credit for its construction. Disgraceful !!!

The umpires are doing a job. Mostly they're doing a job on the dees. The AFL brook no criticism of umpires, not to protect themselves per se, but so that no connection is made between AFL manipulation of games and the performance of umpires. I accept that no umpire is perfect and it's a tough job, but there can be no explanation for some decisions or non decisions in games except intentional manipulation of results.( To the detriment of teams like Melbourne)

I blame Branko Buljevic.

Is this a pre-emptive ' blame the umpire ' thread ??? Suits me ! Those umpires will crucify us. Weakest umpires in the AFL. Should be umpiring in Eucla two weeks from now. How can the AFL serve up these biased Victoria hating umpires every time we go to Purff ???

This is not a growth mindset. He is right but he should have said " The dees cannot perform on the big stage ....... yet."

Me too London. You and I are equally responsible for our decline. Keep up the good work.

I didn't watch the game today. I was playing golf. I don't know anything except that we were inaccurate. All I want to really know is ' which of our players is going to stand up and say" enough is enough !! I'm not putting up with this anymore. I'm going to pick this club up by the bootstraps and make a stand.' We can't keep rolling over like this, there must be someone who gives a flying f.....

Let's just say Matthews was a thug and a coward who preferred to hit people who weren't looking at him and who had no idea what was about to happen to them. It takes no courage to do that. Let's have no more talk about Leigh Matthews.
