Everything you say is true Freezin, but do you use derogatory names to describe the AFL team you follow, so that everyone on Ozfooty knows you're a WAFL fan first .

since who I follow or don't follow appears to be a topical issue in the North household PN, freez is right...I support and follow Subi and go to almost every game...I follow Freo with interest as I was born and grew up in the area but haven't been to a game in years and was very pissed off with the oval fiasco as the chunder used it to their advantage.

Freezin wrote: I guess when that AFL team you follow is directly responsible for the slow death of a comp and eventually the club you have/ family have supported as a kid, perhaps your endearment is only so deep.......sort of like the better half and in law scenario I guess.....you know what I mean?

How ironic the WAFL club he supports is right up there with the slow death of the Comp he supports as well.

Fancy a $ubi supporter having a crack at another clubs ground considering their own pigswill of a ground was deemed unfit for football only a week ago!!

there's a big difference between the surrounds of a ground looking like a New Delhi rubbish tip and the playing surface being deemed unacceptable by a bunch of fairies worried they'd break a nail...even more so when you consider leederville is shared by 2 WAFL clubs. the vision last Saturday on channel 7 of the outer at bogandean was cringeworthy and there's no way around that. it appears your club caters for beer swilling drunken bums but not families with young children

Have you ever even attended a game at Bassendean before BC? ...or is it just too far to travel that 10km across town from your leafy comfort zone where the other like your good self 65yo+ white collar silver types reside and it wouldnt be a good look for the social status to be seen out in those dreaded working class Eastern suburbs attending a lowly WAFL game with the 'riff raff' of society ..I mean what would your neighbours think and all that hey BC!

I've been to many games at bogandean but a few years back got indirectly caught up in an unsavioury incident where an innocent person was assaulted by one of your thug supporters and decided there and then not to return.

How sad for you BC to let an isolated incident affect one's view of all things to do with a club or venue.
Lucky for the WAFL I didnt let the unsavoury incident I saw in front of me at a final at $ubi a few years back of the young flag waving fella from your mob physically assaulting (actually bashing would be a more appropriate description) an innocent Claremont supporter because his beloved team were getting thrashed affect my attendance at all WAFL games that concern your club ..but each to their own I guess!

I recall reading on FG about that incident and the young bloke plays in the integrated comp and is in fact an All Australian...if my memory serves me correctly he was being harassed by several other young blokes because if his disability and responded accordingly. if it's the same incident then there's no comparison to a drunken bogan thug setting on a much older subi supporter without provocation.

Yes I was there also BC, Lindsay had been harassed for most of the game and finally snapped. He has a very short fuse especially when he is teased for his disability. A terrible situation for all involved.

Should of been played today, another dumb decision to put it on same day as dorks and budgies.

A free trip for the boys from the apple isle, would of been a social weekend for them , looking at their fitness , theres a good chance they spent Friday night at Crown Casinos Merrywell.

The Showgrounds probably was a bog,but hey,if we need to accommodate your lot,why not........

Perth's Country Game against Peel got moved from Northam to Cunderdin.Bit of a stretch for Peel Folk,but hey,if you lot have a Private Plane,why not go a bit further East?

Cmon mate Grassy couldn't show me any links or proof that Peel didn't want to play at Medibank can you?? And no a statement from your coach which is hearsay isn't proof.
