Delaying the game so we could see NN? As TOO said, a load of crap. Just another fantasy made up by those that hate the Eagles. The one thing I can agree on, is that there’s too much news focus on NN. Still if the Dockers ever win a flag, they’ll get a bit of recognition.

I don't hate the Beags 58...in fact I was supporting them in last year's GF...I just can't stand the parochial one eyed Channel Eagle and their almost totally consuming focus on all thing west coast with NN being the almost god-like primary target. That's not WCE fault so no issue with them.

I can understand that BC. As I said, I’m getting a bit weary of the endless NN fascination by the press. The Eagles have other A grade players that they could talk about.

Good news. Downloaded The West Australian app and it's subscriber free. WAFL section is available in the menu. One suspects it's only a matter of time they make subscription required there also but will make the most of it while it lasts. It's also free of any advertising.

Based on JT's spirited defence of The West I gave it another go this week. I have been buying a print copy but for a lot of stories I have to subscribe to read them anyway??

I am totally confused now - is The West a paper or an ad for a website?

Anyway The West can now officially FO.

Probably appropriate that the West will go the same way as that of the WAFL, into oblivion and the history books. With any luck JT can join them, the ripsnorting journalist that he is.

I don't know what your problem is with JT.
I have always found him to be a journalist of high integrity that reports what is presented to him .
Often I hear from other clubs that what he has written is not what their club told them , well hello perhaps you are being fed only what the club wants you to believe.
Ask yourself then why the clubs don't repudiate what is written.
When it is proven that JT has been fed wrong info he will retract his comments.
However to quote Jack Nicholson "you can't handle the truth"

Well, subscribe away online and read his biased pearls of wisdom if that's your wish. It's a free country and he as much as anyone else is entitled to their opinion, I won't pay for it but if you want to then that's your choice.

Well said trsm. As I've said on here a few times before, I reckon he does a very good job promoting the WAFL and even though it's his job he actually attends games and reports first hand. Some of his pieces over the years over and above game day reporting have been first class. Keep up the good work JT.
