The late, perhaps lamented, East Perth. RIP.

I don't think Bronte has progressed to his station in life by worrying what little worms like myself think. Can't see him saying this is not working I was WRONG.

We must be on the bottom of the free kick ladder for eternity and it fuckin shits me!!! Cmon Swans get some cash out from somewhere and pay these cheating green slimey maggots to give us a fair run for once this century!!! And yes folks I am pissed off!!

SD I am appalled. One can only deduce from your comments that when the game wass up for grabs Swans remarkably didn't seem to get many free kicks. Yet even more remarkably when the game was dead and buried that Swans received a large number of free kicks. Perhaps you needed to also indicate that in the last quarter a significant majority of the free kicks Swans received were in their defensive 50 metres. Perhaps you might have also made the observaion that pushes in the back to Tallan Ames by K Bradley in the Mt Barker game were not free kicks; yet pushes in the back against Subiaco players in the forward line were free kicks.

For as long as i have been posting i don't think any team has beaten swans because they have been a better team it has always been the umps and one sided decisions.Obviously the umps hate your mob.Should get one of your honchos to talk to the umpires adviser and get rid of this conspiracy against the mighty ducks.

C22 I can understand you would be so bitter and twisted. I would be too if my club had sold its soul and future like your former club did. RSst assured we at Swans have had our good and bad times in the past and will continue to do in the future. Note we still have a present and a future unlike the sorry state of you and your former club.

Interestingly with the general bye this week a good chance to do a free kick tally (for and against) ladder to this point of the season ...fair to say it makes for some interesting reading (but not surprising to some)!

1. WP +39
2. SF +27
3. CL +24
4. EF +19
5. PH -2

6. SD -8
7. $U -22

Subi stat interesting BH considering the way they are travelling this season. Is this a hawthorn like unsociable football stat or umpires giving soft free kicks to opposition trying to even up the game when Subi are dominating. They definitely aren't undersized so aren't giving away numerous easy kicks to talls. I think the first. Unsociable at every level.

WP also interesting. Are they hard in and under or is the Selwood like free kick gathering skills from those 2 ball magnets in the middle. Maybe sympathy from umps for missing out on TV coverage because they too wanna see Ch7 have it stuck right up them? Hopefully the latter. I'm on that bandwagon too.

DW I have been doing this ladder every year since the footygoss days and one of the consistent points that emanates year after year is SD are either last or in the bottom few on this ladder year after year. We are either the most undisciplined side in the history of WAFL footy or......?
