    I liked your post Hendo because I have managed to extract out of you humour, satire, even the Ostrich got a run. My work is done Haha. 
    Look I admit we have had a few hiccups and misdemeanours along the way. Haha. But hey who hasn’t. Haha.
    But 4 flags says it all. 
    And to beat your mob with nearly the last  kick of the game coming from 5 goals down is the icing on the premiership cake. Haha.
    4 all. Haha 


    :-h

    Watched Oscar Allen speaking on tv tonight. Talking about “Willie Nelson” and other things.
    I have to say I have a “man crush” on Oscar. He speaks and commands attention  like a leader and have no doubt he will be captain of West Coast by 2025.
    I never thought Nic would be in danger of not having 100% of my affinity but sorry Nic the percentage has dropped......only a smidgeon though.

    Well Det your at home this week against a half decent side.
    What’s your prediction, and don’t start on injuries cause everyone has them.

    I see you’ve bought back your saviour Yeo.
    Bit early if you ask me, sign of desperation ???

    I think adding Yeo to Hurn and Barrass puts the team a bit short to run the game out.

    The Bombers have Stringer coming in and ts easier for a forward to have an impact when coming back in than a mid or key defender

    Start of the season i thought both these teams would be in the bottom half of the 8. Hope the Eagles get home, but the Bombers will keep coming and may get on top of them in teh second half!!!!

    Eagles by 9 points

    Listening to Digby on racing radio on Tuesday scratching his head on why the Eagles went from $1.17 to $1.23. Reckon 30mm of rain might have put some punters off at the line hence the drift.
    The rain could be our achilles heal with our lack of pace. 
    The ball stays on the deck and skids along on a wet firm surface. Tippa may be more dangerous than usual.
    Yeo underdone. Shepherd proppy. 
    Not exuding confidence in this one. 
    Result......a draw.
    Go boys !!!!

    Det I am giving your team the benefit of doubt.
    Their form is very patchy whilst I think the Dons will turn up to play. Good luck you will need it, BTW if you lose your season is good as over.
    I have noticed though that despite all your earlier huffing and puffing about GFs this year, your latest comments have become quite the opposite.
    Starting to hit home is it.
    Whilst Freo are now getting up and about.
    I look forward to your banter over the next five years, if you are still around, like most Eagles supporters you will probably go into hiding.
    Ha Ha.

    I was listening to a bit of WAFL world on 91.3sport FM during the week. Not sure who the player was but they had 1 of Yeo’s WAFL opponents from the weekends game and he was very forthright in his opinion that at best Yeo was poor and very much undaunting, certainly not the return being described in some quarters and that he was well short of a run. I would have thought that level until after the bye would have been the way to go.

    Should have seen by our wonderful example set down at Freo rushing guys like Lobb (who finally found his timing after months) Sturt, Switowski, Tucker all being rushed back in when not fit and having no touch losing their confidence and just being passengers or getting reinjured

    Or could have used their own example with leaping Liam last week

    Lobb being ostracised unfairly I feel, has been playing well without luck, came into his own last week when Taberner went off.
    Others yeh, well, maybe.
    One thing the Dockers have improved on is taking there time with injured players, maybe a result of having some depth now in their squad,
    Time will tell.

    Freodockers. Did I read correctly ? “Freo are getting up and about” Haha
    Has success starvation tainted your view on where your team is at ?
    A narrow victory on your home deck against a very young Sydney team is not the sort of formline you want to be following. 
    Obviously your insipid derby performance is just a distant memory. But good luck this week against Port. I won’t be watching because.....Ummm I will think of something else to do.
    The huff and puff is about the end of the year. The 2 points we will get for the draw this week will be valuable in the finishing positions at the end of the year.
    Go boys !!!

    Two weeks ago Det it wasn’t a draw it was 10 goal victory onto GF.
    Can you tell me why you are predicting a draw on your home deck against a side out of the eight.
    Unthinkable two weeks ago.

    Haha. Oldhendo liking your post Freo. I love it  cause when I take you down I take both of you down.
    I appreciate both your teams are struggling at the moment so the only thing to keep you motivated is to try and match it with me. 
    Go your hardest. Haha.
    But whilst I support the Eagles and you guys support your teams there will always be only one winner. Haha.

    Det, you won’t be watching just like you were at a school reunion and “didn’t watch” when the cats bent you over?
    You got another reunion on?

    Gee thanks NSS. You have given me a great idea. 
    Because I chose not to watch that “snore fest” ie Port vs Dorkers I needed to find something else to do with the comparable excitement levels.
    So I will be doing some painting before the match. Come bounce down I am organising a school reunion for “one”. And for the comparable entertainment value I will sit and watch the paint dry. Haha.
    But.....I will tune in for the last 5 mins only to see how much Freo is getting their a*** kicked by and also how “brand Fyfe’s” poor mans Dusty hairdo impersonation is looking ? Haha
    :-B

    Fantastic coaching by “chisel face” Buckley. Reverting back to their DNA which served them well in 2018. Kept Geelong to 5 goals to 3 quarter time. Well done.....shame you have only kicked one yourself. Haha. More entertainment at the world knitting championships than watching that. Haha. #-o
