have to applaud today's instalment of the new series on the history of WANFL footy
Today was Jim & Philip Krakouer
geez it was good seeing the old grounds and famous players once again
just flick the vision past the Victorian garbage and it's all good
Thank you

*** my deep apologies for those farking awful thieving Victorian guernseys

actually the other thing I should have added was that Philip Krakouer , along with Maurice Rioli & Benny Vigona , had the best sidestep dummy ever seen on the grass anywhere

I see the great Phil Krakouer is finally going in to the WA Football Hall Of Fame tonight, he should have been in there years ago and inducted with older brother Jimmy as the Krakouer Brothers as they were always tagged were the most dynamic duo I have ever seen in 44 years of watching WA footy!

yes mate - really should have happened years ago
two very different players but just so bloody deadly by foot
I have watched some NITV 34 and seen a bit of Philip talking about footy - he's certainly got quite a good footy brain 

and today was my childhood hero - the one and only and equal-greatest ever ruckman Stephen Michael
I say he and Graham Farmer cannot be separated and even Farmer marvelled himself at TI's brilliance
He told the Victorians to "go and get fucked - I wouldn't play for you if there were two of me" 
and I just loved that , it inspired me as a young bloke
wonderful man who has time for anyone 
 Enjoy the watch

Love watching the old WAFL footage from the greatest era in footy mate but I think Readings was factually incorrect in that piece.
I thought TI came from Kojonup not Wagin and also I believe Joel Cornelius (SD) now holds the record in the WAFL for most consecutive games in a row.

Yes mate that's right

The Matera's were from Wagin

TI was from Kojonup 

and the Swan Districts fellow did eventually break the run

It's a shame research isn't done properly to the champions

Yes Southerner, back when it was the biggest show in town and was the biggest deal to win.

The sad fact is now even when your own team wins it just doesn't mean the same anymore,,,friends ,relatives and the old stagers.

Crikey even the Sandover was THE medal to win and now you battle to hear it discussed.

well lots of things in Victoria are packing their bags and leaving
in droves
waiting waiting waiting 
hahahaha 
houses of cards do what ?

I was out at Baskerville oval a couple weeks ago watching the year 9's play and I was standing next to a fella having a chat. I went and grabbed a bench for us to sit on and we got chatting about the game of years ago compared to now and some of the things we coach today vs not coach today. Shepherding being one of those. Spent probably an hour and I found out later it was Phil Krakouer. I think it was his nephew in the team. Great fella!
