But when you knew that each Sat afternoon they where covering the game - i wouldnt watch the whole game - but on and off i would probably watch 40-60 minutes - and you found it a bit refreshing at times - because the AFL is so rigid
However since they lost the rights - i dont watch any WAFL

We got the chocolates with the Bulldogs - now for something even more amazing - $ubiaco to lose two games in a row!!
Yes the Tigers will come out roaring this week.Just hoping the Lions don't roar louder!
Amazing win by a true traditional club ( again ).
I wonder who those “well to do” Claremont supporters on their apartment balcony will target from Subiaco for personal abuse this week?!?!
There was one thing better though and that was beating Claremont anywhere!
This week is a huge opportunity for the Tigers - they've had two tests so far this season - against Perth - lost. Against West Coast - lost....now they have the Lions on the rebound - I'm tipping the Tiger's to win and turn the corner to a Bulldogs v Claremont GF!

East Perth v West Perth games back then always played in good spirit, tough but fair, often at frantic speed.
Just $1.95 were Claremont. Seriously.
East Perth leading the Bulldogs 9 goals to 6. What the ?!!!! That will be the upset of upsets if that keeps going. $1.12 were South.
Black Ducks were just $1.35 to beat West Coast. Terrible odds but looks ok so far.
Sharks on top of the Demons and another upset by the Sharks could be looming.
Will be interesting to see how these games develop over the four quarters.
Big game for the Tigers and once again so far a let down. One of the worst teams to bet on, them and Peel!
Sharks bite Perth in a big upset. Demons just $1.17.
Subi too good for Claremont. Tigers you're sacked. That'll mean they will win easily next week!
Black Ducks too good for West Coast. Bookies had that right - just $1.35 were Swans.
A good day for the WAFL.
East Perth amazing improvement.
Sharks back in the race.
Tigers like the old channel 9 ad and famous song - still the same.
A win to Swans over the Eagles - who's complaining about that ?!
Sharks got to give credit to them too. Whether they can sustain it is another chapter to unfold.
Mentioned the legendary Bob Seger's song, "Still The Same" it came out in 1978 and we all know who won the WAFL Premiership that year in driving rain.
A possible good omen for this year's flag ? No probably getting a bit carried away there, but can tell you who won't be winning it - my early tip Claremont!
Still relatively early days, but once again coming up short when it matters.
Then "Still The Same" Bob Seger in 1978.
Bad luck Demons... going for three flags in a row against a slow East Perth team in 78 and it rained cats and dogs. Until this very day they've never recovered!
Good to see underdogs doing well.
I've followed sports betting quite awhile now and can assure punter's backing favourites in sport consistently is deadly.
Was just reading recently - the % of $1.20 - 1/5 shots that should win is way lower than the % that do.
On this particular sport ( overseas admittedly ) only 55% of the time did the $1.20 shot win - blimey that's remarkable.
Best system - if you like the underdog - and think their a winning chance - back them at the LINE.
Worst system - backing teams at odds of $1.17 like Perth today and South at $1.12 - a lot to put on to win little. It's amazing how often they lose or just fall in - like South today.
Favourites will win, but the underdog spirit is alive and well. That's where the "value" is. Finding the right underdog to back at the line is the trick and will be searching for one tomorrow!
Have to think their a chance of winning too - or no bet - if think they can win - then will go the line - it gives insurance!
It's not easy though and easier said than done.

Like to see the odds first for any ( perceived ) value. They come out Friday.
Perth v Swans - Demons need to bounce back - but interested to see the line on this one.
Claremont v West Coast - here we go...how would you know ?!! Tiger's will be short in the betting, should win comfortably but thanks but no thanks.
Peel v Subi - non betting games Peel they've done me too often! Am interested in the head start though. Would like a good line there ( betting line! ) and might be interested.
Old Easts v Bulldogs - East Freo's record in Derby's in recent years shocking, had some big hiding's, might be closer this time but would want reasonable head start.
East Perth v West Perth - leaning the Cardie's here...need to see the Royals do it one more time.
Perth only slight faves over Swans - staying out of that one but favouring the Demons.
Claremont $1.30 should win comfortably - but good luck with them.
South $1.24 and Sharks $4. South but their short and Sharks are overdue to get close to them.
Subi $1.10 to win and Peel have a 38.5 head start at the line, no doubt I'll fall for Peel at the line.
West Perth are $1.72 to overcome East Perth and that's my lock of the week! Cardies to win.

Then to see them make grand finals in 1974, beat my Royals in 76, win it again in 77 before going so close again in 78, hated them! Haha. Superbly coached by Ken Armstrong in the mid 70's.
Not a cracker since...a rare final appearance, knocked out fast, many "unplaced" efforts and wooden spoon's along the journey...yep for nostalgia will be at Lathlain Park for a home final and barracking for them...unless EP can pull off a miracle and happen to be playing them.
All going well and a fine day and there's good exposure about Perth making the finals again - a crowd of 7 or 8000 would be great. Dare say 10,000!
Great thing about Swans and Perth - they've retained their strong suburban identies - the Black Ducks at Bassendean and the Redlegs at Lathlain.
Did read somewhere recently about a possible West Perth move back to Leederville Oval. Can't see that happening, it's almost as silly as them leaving in the first place.
As far as East Perth giving up Perth Oval 8-|
And for all those who were trying to push the Demon's out to Gosnells and Kelmscott - get real. That would've put them back another 30 years.
