Check out AR jnr's record and where Subiaco finished in those years.

Relative to some of the legends of the WAFL there are some relatively speaking crabs in the legend class.

Name them!

How about Bill Walker grassy? Now worthy of legend status?

First Grass you state whether Bill Walker SHOULD ALREADY BE a legend.

Our big mate from York , wrapped it up...10 big ones, and Kennedy didnt come close today.

58s why stop there? Chuck out half of the supposed legends of the Hall of Fame and replace them with the WAFL and SANFL legends. Billy Walker would be a good one to start with.

I don't think chucking people out is the answer swan, but I'd really like to see a bit of fairness in the selections. And agreed, Walker should have been a shoe in.

Suggest you guys head off to cash and carry, just in case the chips keep falling off ya shoulders.
Explain how the second tier comp (wafl) is going these days, still getting less than 7000, to all 4 games combined??.
Ohhh bugger it lets change the importance of the Melbourne cup and replace it with the Perth cup, while we are at it

Typical arrogant, ignorant Victorian response unk. There is a reason why every other state in OZ hates vics....they think the world rotates around them and they are so full of shite they'd drown in a bubble bath:lol:

JK had a dirty day no doubt which makes the Eagles win even better.
10 goals in a game is fantastic but playing Carlton who's season was shot long ago let's face it the pressure to score from the Carlton defenders wasn't great but good luck to him.

The Coleman Medal celebrates one of the VFL greats. 537 goals at top level from 98 games cut tragically by injury..Thats just under 5.5 goals per match.Austin Robertson played at a LOWER level yet couldn'd average 5 gls per match. NO comparison.

You obviously haven't had a look at AR's career. But Coleman did well, assuming he didn't "pop across the road" for an esserden "top up"

LS what a joke.

From WAFL Footy facts:

As a sample in 1965, 67 and 68 Subiaco won 8, 3 and 12 games. AR jnr kicked in those seasons 108, 104 and 162 goals in 62 games.

Thats STILL 2nd grade football

Again I say, you vics are so full of it. Coleman played in a state league known as the VFL, AR played in a state league known as the WAFL. As far as being "2nd grade", that's only in the eyes of the arrogant, ignorant Mexicans from the east. And you'll ask, why did a lot of people want to play in your comp? Answer = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ So don't get too carried away with yourselves.
