more than very big chance of seeing a 10 000+ crowd rocking up at Bassendean
and lots of ex-players from both clubs from the eras will be going if word is spot on
will be a huge day

on another front the state governement will be providing a state funeral it is confirmed given Toddy's contribution - bloody deservedly so too

it's a real pity our number 10 is out injured that would have been near perfect if not

The weather for the big match is looking to be fine, partly cloudy and a maximum temperature of 21⁰. Sounds like ideal weather conditions for people to get along to the footy.  Let's hope a huge attendance for this match in memory of John Todd.

Good old Transperth could not have picked a worse day to shut down the train line!

Lets hope we get 5000! plus...

a wonderful service today
some of the very great WA football people in attendance
and these were REAL CHAMPIONS - Bonafide
not the ridiculous 5 minute weakling modern wonders that wouldn't hold a straw against these blokes
bloody shame the shrouded one comes for us all eventually
RIP Toddy and thankyou for all these brilliant memories of true football at it's finest
cheers!

tears to an old warrior's face I can tell you honestly 

Whats the go withholding this so long after the funeral ? Why wasnt it same day?

this was a State memorial service mate
I guess it gave the families valuable time to mourn and have their own service prior to this moment
no doubt Meryl and the family would have arranged this with the people involved
