Shahanga Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Ok here's a list:http://www.keebraparkrugbyleague.com.au/program-graduates/Only just Rugby League players shown unfortunately. Benji Marshall is the pick obviously, Dally M winner, best NZ player of his generation.Before they bothered to keep records i know (from my year alone) 2 blokes played in the forerunner of NRL and another played in the then VFL.Unfortunately they don't seem to have kept track of the other achievers outside of Rugby League, but never fear det, I'm pretty confident we wouldn't have got close to your list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeardedHeart Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I don't normally buy into the just because you're from that state you have to go for that team ( I am a Richmond supporter and Storm) but in this case i am going for the eagles because i am from Perth and for the fact i really cant stand Hawthorn.

bt50 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Can't say im overly excited for this one, purely cos I think everyone is over Hawthorn and WCE aren't particularly likable either.In saying that, hope Hawthorn win, they deserve to go down the annals of history as one of the games great sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again my Perth mentality coming out because thats the way they see it.Nah, West Coast fans have always seemed to be able to see things only from their side of the fence in my experience. Seem to be quite one eyed. Plus there was the arrogance of the side in the mid 2000's and the sense of entitlement that club seems to carry.Not particularly anything based on fact, just my experience. Very similar club to Essendon imo, just successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It come with part jealousy on my part that i don't like to see any team to successful lol. But i can still repect the team in general. My family are all WCW supporters so for my mum and 10yr old nephew i want them to win , however just dawned on them my Nephew gets to see his team play in a GF and i haven't little bastard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeh I wouldn't say I hate them. Just don't have any affection towards them either.Essendon on the other hand, I hope that shit hole of a club burns down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Its fucken hilarious how Western Australian's think Victorians give a shit about them and that the league is rigged by Victorians to hurt there sides... hence many will support the other WA side as there second side.They spend all this time seeing Victoria as the enemy, when I moved back over for college and told PPL I lived in Perth all I got then and still get now when I tell PPL I lived there is "Oh I heard its good for Holiday" or "Okay".They actually PPL think over here we used there often spoken phrase "Eastern Staters" which I have never heard spoken by anyone unless they come from Perth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people here give as much regard to people in Perth as they do Singapore. I for one am going to be tentatively supporting WCE entirely based on my hatred for the word "threepeat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSeater Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Predictions everyone? I was originally tipping the Hawks, but I think the heat is going to help West Coast today, Eagles by 10 points, Josh Kennedy for Norm Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Can Hawthorn now lay claim to being the greatest team of the modern era. 3 in a row with 2 extra teams (opposed to the lions in early 2000s) and also with a manipulated draft for a few years but also experiencing the introduction of the free agency. FWIW I follow the pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Heartspur Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Free agancy has given players greater power in dictating where they go. So whether they were actual free agents or were traded to the club of choice, it's one in the same. We now even have players not only demanding a trade, but demanding to be traded to specific clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I follow the pies.I think so but mainly because of Clarkson as I think Geelong had a better list/best 22 at our height in terms of talent but we were not a better team. FFS if Geelong had had Clarkson instead of bloody Bomber I feel like in the seven or ninr years we had with that list we probably would have won five.We would have gotten are act together a lot quicker, kept our intensity sustained and not had Coach/Player relation issues.

If you sign a contract and then demand a trade while still under that contract, you should have no say in where you go. The club should be free to seek the best deal.

Shahanga Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 My main problem with the AFL is the players have too much power. They are also very savvy about manipulating the media to put forward their message. Mark McClure is the only one I have heard speak sense about it.They don't play anywhere near enough for starters. Tony Armstrong played 8 quarters in a day for FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?? Its good work if you can get it. Edited October 4, 2015 by Shahanga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
