    @CazCat How are Dockers and Eagles doing in AFL? I know eagles won a year or two back. I think my first or second year in Aus, Freemantle came runners up, but not followed the sport much since.

    I don’t follow the teams that play outside of Melbourne, it’s a Victorian game you know.

    You put the shit truck team before the mighty Weagles… But then the shit goes before the shovel!

    Fremantle is just a place that homes the bogans and a town that keeps the foul wind of the WACA, only medical staff allowed when bowling from the Lillee Marsh.

    One round was played and the Weagles won... Fremantle lost, as expected. Carlton will prop them up or be propped up, like we care.

    We're doing okay 2018 wasn't as sweet as 2006 as being there in the city was being part of it, here I had a dopey husband who needs teaching in the ways of footie.

    I'm sure your mother had plans to bring you up proper... ?

    We have a Good team but a bit unsure with the new stadium.

    yeah, I moved to Footscray three years too late as I doubt the Bulldogs will win it again.

    It’s a family thing here isn’t it? If your dad follows Carlton you have to suffer as well. It is written..

    As a City fan this sounds like my childhood. At least we got some good times. I am guessing he is destined to live a life of misery?

    Yes, I have never been to the second best city but it is somewhat that way the same with Port and the cats... Just loyal idiots. Not brainer in Perth, you're either blessed like me or retarded.

    They all hoped to have success in the draft as the draft class from the VFL was good but they pick lemons and trade away their decent players.

    Man City can just buy success, would love to see the trade and draft system in England?

    I lived in Perth for a year as a kid too and of course, I always went to the Dockers games. I remember walking out as a kid and letting the Police officers outside know that I had spotted Ben Cousins inside playing :laugh:

    Ben Cousins is a great bloke... If you're looking to score not if you need a lift home.

    I did have a poster of him on my wall and I... Private sorry.

    Travelled further, found the WACA and my seat in the Barmy Army end. Stayed two days, met with friends in Rockingham and then drove about 2,500kms north and back. I liked WA but it’s not Victoria is it?
