    It has, which is why I don't think anything at all will change. They can huff and bluster to their hearts content, but the reality is that the Test is a serious payday for the WAFC and not one they can afford to turn down. We would be in no different position - pray we never have a clash with a concert at NIB, because I'll guarantee we'd lose.

    We need an international standard, rectangular sports stadium. Simple!

    We already have an under utilised re developed rectangular ground, until we start winning consistently at home and a filling it with sell out crowds, we will have to live with what we have got I'm afraid

    The reason why they are playing the game in Geelong is because Geelong earned the right to play at their home ground. You don't hear Geelong complaining when they have to play their home games at MCG or Docklands and it is nice to see they get a home final for a change.

    I’m not a Dockers fan nor am I an AFL fan and agree that Geelong have the right to host the game.

    But I do find it a bit fishy that for the first time in over 100 year they will have a home final this weekend.

    That the AFL CEO has stated that if Sydney had finished 3rd then the game would have been at Docklands and that the AFL sent out an email today of the upcoming events (which they do each week) and had Geelong V Fremantle at Docklands at 2:30 pencilled in and you also had Docklands last week saying that they expected 40k ppl to attend the game between the 2 teams.

    Then their attacks all morning on the WA footy comm and on the Australian Rugby just don’t sit well with me.

    If they want to throw 4x the booking fee at the WAFC for every September in advance they're welcome, we can play rugby any time without spooking about the time of day!

    Let's not forget Scumbiaco cost about a million bucks a night when the Force was there!

    Eddie will be relieved - he can play Geelong instead. Wonder what ground that would be played on...

    Great win by the Shockers.
    The press conference was joke. Melbourne journos moaning about Freo being overly physical. FFS.
