WAFL round 19 & more
In a big weekend of footy in the West there were a few nods to the past:
• At Bassendean Oval Swan Districts celebrated the 1961 premiership. As part of the fun the umpires dressed in 1960s – and I swear they did look great (as Bob Dylan kinda said in Joey).
• East Fremantle pulled off the kind of result that was customary back when they were good.
• Fremantle won a derby.

The Spirited Swan (nee Avenging Eagle) and I journeyed the hour south of Perth to satellite city Mandurah to see their nephew play his second league game for Swan Districts against the Docker affiliated Peel Thunder.
