Monday wrap

May 5 2008, 6:51 am

It was an embarrassing weekend for West Australian football.

AFL- 10 things we learned from Round 4- By Ryan Daniels

April 16 2008, 9:45 am

1. Freo haven’t changed. For all the talk of new directions and new tactics, Fremantle are still the same bunch of underachievers. Another Derby win for the Dockers was meant to steer their season back on track but just like it did in recent years, it did the opposite. 37,000 Dockers supporters watched their team self destruct against inferior opposition,…

We say it regularly – watch out for Sydney, they are slow starters and have the ability to peak at the right time. The Swans have had a remarkable last two seasons, making the Grand Final on both occasions and coming ever so close to winning back to back flags, but things seem different this year. Sydney are hanging on…
