I arrived in Subiaco obscenely early. It had been a long day - a dawn service, a big breakfast, a train trip to Mandurah for an Italian family lunch - and I was tired. I had waved goodbye to my girlfriend at Perth station: "I'll sleep in the park

Round 6 - Point of Difference
Right. I'm not about to sit here and pretend that last night's loss against Geelong was anything other than heartbreaking and devastating. To have the reigning premiers on toast not once, but twice, and still lose the game is a very bitter pill to
AFL Power Rankings Week 5
Are we back here already? Honorable losses and feeling happy with a good effort and some good performances from the kids?
Sure looks like it. I was at any rate.
Before I start I'd like to provide another example of why we mourn the loss of
Happy with Gilmore or not?

Doesn't footy just give you the irrates sometimes? I mean really, how hard was it to watch on Sunday? Hard to keep the faith. Hard to stomach the lack of effort from people you expect so much from. Hard to take the Tigers seriously even though
Well that was...unexpected.
Having read many of the angry and disappointed posts on here, well, that wasn't.
That was the worst I remember Freo playing since Drum. We might have played a similar game under CC at one time, but I don't remember it (well, there was that 100
Round 4 - Sleeping Sickness
And no, I am not referring to my fervent wish that I could somehow wake up from this horrible dream and find it's Sunday morning again.
I had a feeling in my water the entire week that Richmond would come out swinging in their match against
