1st AFL game for young Archie. Had to choose which team to go for pregame...went the Eagles because an actual Magpie chased him in the park not long back so doesn’t like them much. $10 beanie & insane amount of treats later, we made it through 4qtrs. Pretty special day for dad.

And so ends an awesome few weeks of footy in the west. We have been really lucky to be able to go to a stack of games with passionate crowds attending. On a personal note, wasn’t sure if I would call any footy this year but stoked to get a couple on the way through.

It’s time for
@freodockers
to be locked in for an ANZAC day clash every year. Have done a sensational job with the Len Hall tribute for many years. MCG game finishes at 4pm/6pm so a 4:40 start in WA is prime time. Double header would be great….just need to find best opponent?

I have loved the Olympics since I was a kid and was a big part of me getting into broadcasting. Tonight I got to live out a dream of working on one. Not the result we were hoping for but loved every second. Very thankful for the opportunity. Onto the Judo and 3x3 as well!

Don’t normally post things like this (as thankfully don’t get much of it) but I am genuinely thrilled as a caller to get this sort of feedback after a game as means we must have called it down the line. Copped a clip both ways 😂

The WA clubs need to get their act together. The biggest derby in history and they allow an issue like this to dominate the buildup. Just work together and fix it. Not that hard. The medal doesn’t need to be sponsored, whoever’s home game it is pays for it to be made. Simple

The rule which bugs me is how advantage is paid. I get it's supposed to favour the team with the free kick but it needs to be fair. Why can't the umpire give advantage without blowing the whistle so the play is continuous? Here's some examples from 2022.

Happen to be on the same flight as West Coast. Plenty of celebrating still going on. Most players up the front but the coach sitting further back. Adam Simpson got a huge round of applause from everyone on the plane as he walked down to his seat.

For a game between 15th and 17th that was an enjoyable afternoon at the footy. 8 goals for JK is quite unbelievable and Laird had a blinder in game 200. 50k in the building on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Close finish. Doesn’t get much better

A night off work so it was take 2 of dad and son at the footy trying to find Archie a team to support. He started with the Dockers….but plays Auskick for the Cats….Then went for whoever kicked a goal.
The iPad was the eventual winner in the second half.

Thanks all, nice to be back in the chair. First game I’ve called with no fans. Strange old feeling in the west right now. Will have to wait and see what happens with the derby, crowds and if it goes ahead but if it does next week is going to be huge.

Big night for Freo. Congrats to David Mundy. Len Hall game done brilliantly again & should be on ANZAC day every year. Anyone who knows me I’m pretty good at keeping my emotions under control. Will admit ANZAC oath got me tonight. Truly amazing. Won’t forget it anytime soon.

Players have been slipping at Optus Stadium a lot this season, calling the game yesterday it seemed to be worse than recent weeks as they struggled to change direction & keep their footing. Have followed up today & just got this statement from Optus Stadium CEO Mike McKenna:

Cracking game & bruising contest. Freo too strong but Eagles had a go and Harley fired a few up. Needed a bit of heat in the rivalry.

Cracking derby. High stakes and a big upset. No games scheduled next weekend so depending on how things play out could be the last over here for the year which feels a bit strange. Depends on ESS and GWS but could be first time since 09 neither WCE or Freo in the finals.

Nic Naitanui brought people to the footy. A great player to watch and his best was absolutely dominant. Shame we don’t get to see him play again.

Home after calling an incredible game of footy. Lead changes, great goals, brutal, passionate & everything on the line. Despite it being October, these finals probably the most normal 2020 has felt. 2 hours to forget the cares of the world and just care about the game. The best!

An idea sparked just a month ago & somehow, remarkably, sitting here ticking off a bucket list moment.
Logistical craziness but work, family & Gather Round fell into place to allow a week in the States during footy. Been surreal covering such a huge event. This is next level!

Did not see that result coming. Eagles have found the competitive spirit they have been searching for. Freo are better than that though the type of result which may really hurt in a couple of months time.

Thanks for all the messages. Had a great night and pretty chuffed to be honest. I love what I get to do for work so it’s very humbling when something like this comes along. Possibly celebrated a little too hard but highlight was seeing Donny of Spearwood at the Casino at 3am.

Thanks all, very kind. Sad to see the footy depart our shores but not all that big in the scheme of things with everything else happening in parts of the country. We are very lucky, was just quite novel to have multiple matches in a weekend out west for a couple of weeks.

Emotional night at the footy. Down on the boundary prematch chatting to a few people and as expected was an incredibly somber mood. Not just the players but the long term staff all hurting. After all the emotion of the prematch tribute pretty incredible to then step out and play

Today will be one of the great days. Honestly wish it was under different circumstances and the game was here after a successful bid rather than being lucky enough to be in a Covid safe state at the right time of year. Thinking of all in Victoria. Hopefully back at the G in 2022

Not calling tonight so at the footy with the family. Two goals for this evening. 1. Make it to the final siren while keeping a 6yr old and a 3yr old entertained. 2. To find the mythical butter chicken and chips at the secret outlet somewhere inside the stadium

Well there is a lot to come out of that one. Going to be a busy Monday for everyone booking in scans! Crowd was passionate for a preseason game, I think everyone is looking forward to the season proper. A bit rusty but was nice to be back in the chair at the footy!

Big Dockers win in Tassie after 3 consecutive games on the road. Plenty of eyes on a looming derby in a few weeks but Freo v Geelong is going to be massive on Thursday.

Freo CEO Simon Garlick just now on 6PR
- Says he is ‘absolutely not’ exploring the WCE CEO role and has not been approached. 100% commited to Fremantle.
- Still working towards a new deal with Sean Darcy
- felt the NM draft concessions were certainly ‘overs’

Sunday night thriller. Pretty terrible first half but all forgotten when there’s only a kick in it. Great win by Freo missing plenty of stars…Tigers still not done. Going to be a great run to the finals with plenty in contention.

Anyone talking about the Harley Reid tackle on here?
Unfortunately don’t think we will be seeing Harley next week against the Roos (Pending a challenge at the tribunal)
Also unfortunately don’t think we will see Aussie the Eagle back at the footy next week either

So ends a tough year of footy for the Eagles and Dockers in the west. Been some difficult games to polish for sure. Will be a long off season for both but going to be a very intriguing next few weeks….perhaps an intriguing 48hrs

How do WA footy fans feel about this? Could a 3rd team work? Where would you put it?
I would love to see a team in the South West as a smaller regional club. If you live that way would you change to support a new club or buy a membership if it was based near you?
Is it in Western Australia's best interest to bid for another AFL club, or do all roads lead to the Northern Territory claiming the league's next licence? ⚖️

Disappointing the game became a blowout after what was an entertaining clash in the first half. Good fight from WCE, Freo still with plenty of work to do. Big road trip coming up for the Eagles. Fingers crossed again for good news tomorrow and the footy continues over here.
