He's been dropped to make way for Ben Cunningham and I find it appalling that our clubs leading goal kicker in its history is dumped for a bloke who doesn't know the meaning of beautiful hair.

 Lets look at the facts:

Chris Connolly has been at Fremantle for 18 months. Moose has been here since 1996.

Chris Connolly is a chubby little telly tubby. Moose is, well, Moose.

Jeff Farmer is injured. Justin Longmuir is not quite right as well. Medhurst is an angry little ant and I don't think we need to recap on Croad's form.

Moose is not injured, Moose has a zen like calm on the footy field and Moose's form is no worse than Croad's. In addition, Moose need only do one good thing and he gets the biggest roar from the crowd by a long shot. The boost of adrenalin this gives our consistent players is such that Moose is probably our most valuable player.

Lets not forget that he is also one of the most loyal. With the family tragedy that he endured, the pull back home to that dung heap over there in South Australia must have been more than moderate. Yet he did not depart his dear purple pals. Chris Connolly has been here five minutes and will head back to Victoria after he has "proven himself" just as Mick Malthouse did with the Eagles. This man sees fit to pass judgment on the Moose.

Moose is correct, he is an A-Grade footballer who doesn't perform in the WAFL because of that very fact. His Claremont team mates have not ascended to a high enough plane to appropriately communicate with the Moose. Even Siddhartha would struggle to understand the musings of Moose.

Lastly, I am a member and I pay my money to go to the football. Moose is worth the admission alone. When he gets near the ball, the yells of Moose reverberate around our area and like a primal urge the words escape your soul in a blaze of glory as you too yell out "MMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

So Mr. Connolly, I don't know what you are trying to do. At eight wins and four losses you must be feeling pretty proud of yourself, but if in your opinion that muppet Ben Cunningham deserves a game ahead of our most successful forward in the clubs history then you have rocks in your head. Moose needs not to get great stats, it is what he doesn't do which makes all the difference. Opposition teams quake with fear when they see that blinding shock of white hair glistening as Moose runs out of the race - for a moment they forget that they are not Reggie and their bowels start performing all sorts of tricks. Bring back the Moose or you can go and sit and rotate on this policy.

Moose's No.1 Fan,

Andrew Lacy.
