I thought my footy experience on Saturday was unique – watching the WAFL combined team play the SANFL at Lathlain Park live on my phone while traveling on the Freo Flyer from Busselton to watch Fremantle play North Melbourne at Subiaco Oval. Continue reading

The trouble with Freo by Les Everett
The Bombers were the latest team sent packing from Subiaco Oval by the Dockers. Fremantle are on top but no one at the Port is getting carried away.
The Dockers have won their first six games and sit two games clear on top of the AFL ladder. You’d think there would be a bit of a strut going on around the port city but it’s not quite like that.

Kangaroos sneak home over fired-up Maine Magpies by Richard Jones
KANGAROO Flat unleashed a nine-goal second half to snatch a narrow win over a fired-up and determined Castlemaine on Saturday night.
The Magpies took a well-earned 33-point lead into the half-time break at Bendigo Mazda Oval before a large, but subdued, Roos home crowd. Continue reading
Everyone’s a loser WAFL
South Fremantle’s round four loss means there are no unbeaten teams in the competition and the ladder has an interesting look about it. Peel Thunder are in the top four and East Perth, arguably the form team, are out of the top five. We also found out something about the much-heralded Channel Seven coverage of the WAFL – it’s not every week! No TV game this week or next.
