Agreed Too - you can continue to beat us in the qualifying rounds and we will continue to beat you in the GFs.

Had a beer with a Swan supporter and he had great pleasure in reminding me of 82,83,90 and 10 at the final siren. Asked him where his Rolf Harris T-shirt was, apparently burnt it during a chemical accident, crystal something he said?
Great game. Blackwell's form has been outstanding 38 touches I think, we missed him against FART last game.
All 3 sides had a win. Holt Yu & Starcevich were best for the Magoos, good to see.
The Swan supporter, get this, has been collecting football budgets since 1963! He had the 65 & 68 budgets with him, like small novels,30 cents back then. The 68 budget had the WAFL GF played at night at the showgrounds, was that right?
We've got 5 games and a bye, 3 games at home and 2 games at Leederville, 3 wins are very possible, 5 not out of the question.

one thing Claremont have is a massive home ground advantage on the bog heap as the ground is pretty short..Seaby to Blackwell/Murphy and then in the goal square virtually..
Seaby/Blackell combo was impossible for Swans to stop

Hi Jiimmy.

The budgets that bloke had would have been for the night series 'pre-season' competition held at the Showgrounds in March 1968 won by East Fremantle against West Perth. In 1967 there was a similar series played by the bottom 4 sides which was run in conjunction with the final series. That series was won by Swans.

MO ground is the same size/shape as the MCG.
Thanks waflfootyfacts.
Tiger of Old, think Broadbridge was given a 2 year contract, would be extending that ASAP, can't believe Perth FC let him slip through their hands....then again.

it would be shorter than other wafl grounds and suited to a team like Claremont that has a good ruck and stoppage players.
wouldnt be getting excited about Broadbridge just yet, percentage of 77 and 6 and 9 wouldnt indicate they are flying..

MCG bulldust!
It's the shape of a circle designed for speedway.
Come this Sat with all this rain it will be a bog patch good for farmers.

You obviously haven't been to the MCG and have you ever seen medibank when it is wet!

Agree with the Tigers boys, very similar to MCG except for the smell of horse shit on the outer side
