They should've rebranded back to Footscray imho.

(Yeah, I know they call their VFL team that, but that doesn't count.)

I had to do a marketing plan for the Doggies for a uni subject last year and I argued for that. I feel that the term 'Western' is too nebulous and is saturated now anyway (GWS, West Coast)

Jesus you reckon? Thought he was awful. He mumbles and has a terrible speaking voice for a commentator. Also he's replaced Mike Sheahan on On The Couch which feels like a huge middle finger to actual journos

Does anyone know what's going on with Ryan Crowley? He's not been training with the club and is unavailable due to 'personal issues'. There are whispers he may never play again. Any Perth goons heard any rumours?

Geelong has started personally trolling me.

Last year I bought a DVD set of their 2007 season off their webstore for my nephew's birthday.

Now they're sending me "Welcome to the Mighty Cats" e-mails and have kindly created a MyCats account for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYA6Y67NXMc

This happened to me last year. Was offered free tickets to a Collingwood game through uni, accepted, then found myself on the receiving end of e-mails from Bucks.

So turns out Crowley's tested positive to a banned substance

quote:

Fremantle�s Ryan Crowley is awaiting a hearing date to appear before the AFL Tribunal after testing positive to a substance banned under the AFL�s Anti-Doping Code.

The AFL advised the club in September last year that the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) had issued the 31-year-old with a show cause notice after his sample tested positive to a banned substance under the AFL�s Anti-Doping Code.

The sample was taken on a match day after Fremantle�s round 17 game on Sunday 13 July, 2014. Subsequent to being issued with the show cause notice, Crowley voluntarily accepted a provisional suspension, which commenced in September 2014.

I dunno, I have some serious moral quibbles with teams I support.

I was terrified after all the Essendon stuff that it would turn out that Geelong had been doping their players and I reckon I'd have stopped following them completely. It would have been gutting.

7th or 8th is the Cats' ceiling this year. Last year 3rd was a huge overachievement. Our defence is slow and old. The forward line and Joel Selwood will pull us out of a few fires though.

I think Gold Coast will move past North.

Nah I think Clark and Hawkins is one of if not the best forward duo in the comp and will see them carry their aging backline.

Having your forward line carry your backline is always a risky proposition. I'm kinda hoping for an 89-esque year where we score a zillion points but let in a zillion. We lost a game despite scoring 163 that year.
