Just waiting till these drug headlines die down then…BOOM! It’s Quokka time!

A WA politician should use parliamentary privilege to announce that Freo will be relocated to Rottnest Island, play in spotted uniforms and be known as the Polka Dotted Rott Dock Quokkas.

Why ask Albo when they could request divine intervention My Holiness?

It wasn’t abused.
This is a billion dollar industry with a huge number of stakeholders and investment across numerous sectors. Hospitality, health, education, transport.
The AFL has shamefully and pathetically hidden positive drug test results for years. If they had been transparent, parliamentary privilege wouldn’t even be a consideration.
We now go to Phase 2: AFL damage control. So who makes the “we strenuously deny” announcement?

Nah. And don’t call me Happy, Dopey. I’m Bashful.
Fair comment not coming from unfair commentators whining about rules they should know off by heart
Gus is a coach and selector and commentator and won’t ever praise a ref call.
I reckon the quality of footy right now is fantastic. There’s always gonna be something or other we can argue about. But the footy is too good to nit pick it to death.

They use graphs when demonstrating career averages. Now that’s ironic!
Australia's batters only scored three tons last summer: Why it is time to move past the obsession of the 'big score'
FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN?!??! It will take me a year to read a page. Oh woe is Chop
Australia's batters only scored three tons last summer: Why it is time to move past the obsession of the 'big score'
Noooooooo!!! But do you know what that is, David? Padding.
“When an author in their novel gets to 100 pages, the publisher needs, on average, for him to reach the 120-125 page range. Sometimes, more is needed, but mostly not. On most occasions, pages beyond this, and we’re talking mainly an author’s first draft, are far more beneficial to the individual author’s beloved precious advance than to the actual story needs at the time. Padding statistics and graphs in an author’s second draft when they are either already bossing the manuscript or so far behind so as to already be doomed are completely meaningless to the ultimate outcome of the story”

Not sure there would be interest from various associations to pony up cash to compete for such a prize.
Although given some of the rubbish international cricket that comes to our shores, it would be good say during November before the test series start. Two four day games in each country over a month.
The sweetest flavour? A big dollop of Dwarshius
Unstoppable WA wallop Tassie to complete unprecedented 'triple double' of Shield and one-day titles
Happy? Mate I’m actually incredulous. WA don’t just win, they dominate. They lose players like Marsh and Inglis and Green to international duty and they find another talent to step in and continue the domination.
It’s a shame we done do tour games anymore because I can’t think of any international team that would beat a full strength WA team over 4 days.
Sorry for not acknowledging this sooner, Doc. I’m just naturally a hateful, close minded and bitter person.

Well you should definitely ban him from your Tickertape Parades. Not being New South Welshman is unAustralian

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, David.

Awww you say the nicest things. Now, this book. Is it a comparison of the Waugh twins and unlocking the secret numbers of Mark Waugh’s career?
Damn, I can’t find it yet. I’ll keep looking

Aaah now you’re talking like a New South Wales fan. We have been taking all the glory for so long. It’s nice to share it with the state that’s furthest away from us.
But it’s a golden generation for WA. Bout time we start stealing all your players

I take issue with this theory, Professor Ni. Partly, because like my ex wives say: I’m disagreeable. Secondly, I disagree with my ex wives.

Surely you’re leading the Ticketape Parade through every city and town in WA?
I think I need to update my article on the Sixteenths. Are you into the 20s yet?

Bernie, this book fascinates and terrifies me. Is it lots of stats and numbers and padding and stuff? You know full well Choppy will order a copy if it doesn’t give him nightmares.
(In future, when you write a book, do an announcement on The Roar. There’s loads of tragics who will invest)

Hearing ya, bloke. JT would be kicking himself tonight for not lumbering past the D-Line.
And congrats on your great win this weekend. You must be stoked
