So, you're an alien, recently arrived in Perth to study us humans. Firstly, welcome, secondly, congrats on being smart enough to avoid landing in South Australia, good forward intel I would assume.
Anyway, now you're hear, you'll need to

Description: I am supposed to write something about my blog here. It should be something pithy with perhaps a sage piece of advice or some compelling reason to read what I write. The truth is I really don\'t know what my blog will be. I will promise a couple of things; 1 - I won\'t spend any time bagging coaches/administrators. We have the WA media for that. 2 - I\'ll try to maintain your interest. Now, lets see what happens from here... |

AFL Teams for Aliens...
Our Rookies - Whats In Store
I apologise for my poor planning and the subsequent premature elaboration of whats in store of our list before we'd even finalised it.
Obviously I should have waited until after the rookie draft and spared you both an appendix. In reality I wasn't
Our List - Whats In Store?
Barring rookies, we now know what our list will be for he coming season. So what, in as realistic terms as possible, can we expect from our guys. Where will the required improvement come from? Who is going to break out?
Who is going to slide? Below is our current list of players and what I am forecasting they'll be doing for us next year. We both know how useless my forecasts are, but you've made it this far, you may as well keep reading.
So, How DID We Draft?
First, my usual disclaimer. This is not a grading of our draft. No matter what you say, you simply can't grade a draft for at LEAST 12 months.
Remember last year? Everyone was saying how well the Cheats drafted. 12 months on, who honestly thinks
How Will We Draft?
OK, this is not a mock draft...I hate them. Noone can know what 1 club is thinking with ANY degree of certainty, so to guess on all 16? Just too hard.
Instead, I thought I would look at what we at Freo will possibly be faced with when each of our
AFL Power Rankings Week 22
Well there it is, another year, another season of the Freo enigma wrapped in a bow and delivered neatly to history's door step. Now things start to get very interesting don't they.
Wednesday's Wiz Watch has officially begun. Will they or won't
AFL Power Rankings Week 21
Second last round of rankings folks, and both of you who have lasted this long should be congratulated.
Some will see this season as a cause for mass sackings and the joining together in groups of 30 odd idiots and campaigning to the Premier for
AFL Power Rankings Week 20
I know losses like that don't REALLY matter at this time of year, but some of the efforts in the second half were pretty hard to swallow. Having said that, this is what really sucks about supporting a bottom team at this time of year, losses help
AFL Power Rankings Week 19
A few quick hit points before I rank...
i) I'm glad that game didn't matter to us on the weekend or I would have probably carved Adam Goodes' likeness in to my leg with a fork out of sheer annoyance. As it is, we didn't win but it kind of felt like
AFL Power Rankings Week 18
"Easy beats, easily beaten." I loved that headline from Mr. Richmond after the first Derby this year, and I like it even more as a way of summing up the game on the weekend.
What has interested me in recent weeks is how some of the more
