Probably yes ,got it wrong as usual ,as my statement was referring to a much earlier period - Commonwealth Games ,Subiaco three tier stand and major upgrade and WACA as a football ground .



I only mentioned the indoor arena as an example of sports being gifted a $500 million facility without the public batting an eyelid .




Not really .Otherwise we might have had more action .




Didn't it die down because they resolved the issue in SA and here in WA we've finally been promised a new football stadium .

This is what happened in the 2011 finals series.

Collingwood beat West Coast, Geelong beat Hawthorn. West Coast won their second round final and a whole bunch of nonces started crapping on about how Perth was taking over the world via Singapore because it was cheaper that way, then they all shut up when they lost the prelim. Sydney choked the life out of the game against St Kilda and Nick Riewoldt tear'd it up after the siren. Geelong beat Hawthorn in the grand final.

Where were you on 9/11........it's like the JFK question. I was in Melbourne then & had just finished watching my favorite footy programme. Can't remember what it was called, but think it was on HSV7

Probably Talking Footy. I would have been watching that as well, when I should have been studying more than likely. Final year of uni.

Good win by the Baggers today, although getting up at 4:25 am for the rugby, then having that on the TV whilst streaming the footy has left me in need of a nap.

Ah, yes, Talking Footy. Gr8 show.
I tipped all 4 winners this w/e, but didn't expect the games to be like they were.
And excellent crowds..........how about that 90,000 today!

Just want to get a post from add0001

There has been a lot of comment from Gallop about NRL attendances & TV ratings, with an oblique ref to the AFL. Just to put it into perspective - not only was Sunday's final a record attendance, but 1.5 mill watched Friday night's game.....the highest for the season. And the W/E total viewing was 5.1 mill.

Maverick? FMD

Conceived while watching Top Gun?

Harvey sacked, Lyon to the Dockers.......wow that was sudden! Even I did not see this coming

Just wanted to say a big thank you to West Coast for making my night last night. I never get tired of seeing Carltank lose a close and tense final and seeing their fans in tears. This was their third close loss in a final under Ratten and it just gets better and better. The look on the faces of that collective group of scum at Whore Park last night was awesome to see. The look on Judd's face when he turned the ball over and it resulted in a goal made me want to take my wife upstairs and shag her. The look of distraught on the Carltank players' faces after the final siren had me skipping around my living room. Now I'm not a sadistic person, but I do enjoy seeing fail delivered to those who have it coming to them. And nobody deserves continued failure more than that salary cap rorting, tanking, piece of sh*t club. 16 years without a flag and counting. f**k you Carltank, f**k you very much.

I continue to be surprised by the coaching appointments. Now McCartney to Bulldogs.

What a stunning game tonight. The atmosphere & crowd was amazing.

I hope she had a headache. The world doesn't need a mini-you.
