Very sad to hear that Daniel Haines has retired from the WAFL.Injury has cut short what would have been a very promising carreer witht the young Dockers.
He certainly looked like a class player before injury cut him dowm.
Well played Daniel Haines.

Lived in Mandurah some years ago and watched this kid in juniors and was dominant, was always going to play at the highest level. He had and older brother, Michael who was even better but never went on with it.
Daniel deserved better than playing with that rabble but must be commended for his loyalty, a class player.

Couldn’t help but have a snipe about Peel eh.
I remember when all clubs have had bad times.Subi were the poor rellies for a long time,as were Swans.Souths had their bad years,Claremont were for many years the hanbaggers of the competition and were bottom for many years.
The club that you more than likely have to leave out is EF,they have been strong for many years and remain that way now even after being decimated by draft picks.
Why couldn’t you just have praised the player and left it at that?

Took Central Districts 15 years to get into a final...They are top of the wazza now.
Looking at Peel yesterday they were brilliant up to half time and then run out of legs. You could see they were struggling.
If they had of kept the first half skills going they would of run over Perth.
Injury to key forward didnt help.

Reason for poor form no so much players but Fitness.
Win against Perth, Win against WP and a close one with EF proves they are capable on the day.

Its easy to kick a dog when it is down hey?
Dont see many kicking Perth though - why? Been a awhile between drinks for them and not only this year.  When was their last premiership 1978?

It will happen.

Talented player whose Career was BUGGED by injury.

Always gave PERTH trouble when he played us.

Good to see Hainesy still involved with the club as an assistant coach- of the forwards! Loyalty, commitment and passion! Well done Hainesy!
