Get Fremantle right first.
One of the most profitable clubs in the AFL and has one of the highest memberships.

They are right. The Dockers may not win anything in my lifetime. Fruitless to wait for the Dockers to get right...

Port Adelaide signs its 1st international rookie! Daniel Bass is playing basketball in Denver. He's actually an Aussie, but because he has not been on any football club's list for 4 years he qualifies as a rookie :wink:

Don't worry, Rob - it's just a soccer ploy to bring AFL attendances down to A-league level. Then they can justify govt spending $3 bill on new soccer stadiums for their WC bid :roll:

A couple of young fellas playing in the WAFL, and who are lined up to play with the new Gold Coast team, have been suspended from their respective high schools.
In the West Australian today,Jack Darling (West Perth) was suspended for drinking at a high school camp (FFS, who didn't?) and David Swallow (East Freo)was caught breaking windows,graffiti and spilling paint.It was a prank gone wrong he states.I remember a high school prank used to be some broken eggs and a couple of potatoes shoved up your teachers exhaust pipe.
Couple of ready made AFL players there.

Pretty bog standard muck-up day.

More pressure are put on the private/catholic schools, especially by The Age here. For good reason too IMO.


Edit: Overlooked the breaking windows. Other than that its run o' the mill.

All we did back in the late 60's was tip a bottle of detergent in the fountain inside Roselands shopping centre. Made quite a sight before they turned it off.
