Why was it changed anyway?
Did someone on the planet complain. That's normally all it takes for the political correct dummies to change something, even though it marks our own W.A. history.

No idea mate, I know there were rumours of it a few years ago and they were quashed by Barnett as nobody liked it, and then just as it went cold a couple of years later - he just came out and did it, apparently its more and I quote "inclusive".

Well done Sharks far too good for the dogs today.

Good crowd of just over 5000 especially given the weather.

I thought the weather would keep a few away so 5,000 was a good result.

Great solid team effort with no passengers.
Wont see too many players feature in the best with only 3 disposals but Jesse Crichton was superb on Hams who always seems to kill us.

Well done Old Easts, Wiley has obviously got everyone on his page and East Fremantle would have to be flag favourites along with Peel at this very early stage, West Perth v East Fremantle in a few weeks will be a cracker and should tell who is more likely out of you two.

Yes mate a real pity about the weather good turn out regardless I thought a good day we could of got another 3000 more , no junior day anymore for some reason as well now.

Anyway well done EF and a real buzz around with talk of a possible Derby GF haven't had talk of that for a real long time and makes for one of the best WAFL finals series for a long time , very weird how away teams are winning in derbies for so long now.

We have you guys at Freo again this season so let the trend continue.

don't write subi off just yet for the GF bazza as they're currently missing around 8 or 9 first 22 players who will all return in the coming weeks.

My biggest concern is Peel. Freo being a steaming pile of poop means the crabs will have so many Dockers playing finals it will be scary. Some of them will even know the Peel team song by then. They do have a song don't they?
