The West Coast Eagle "Goose" of the week goes to the
biggest dork in the football world of the previous week.
In typical Wet Toast fashion, each winner needs to display
characteristics of utter foolishness, rank stupidity or
spineless cowardice to win this hotly contested award.
The Winner this week is:
Byron Schammer!
In what must be one of the worst games in living memory by a
Freo player (and that is saying something) Schammer, who has
been a pretty good player so far this year, had an absolute
shocker. It wasn't that he couldn't get the ball, or that he
kept missing targets, its just that his targets were either
playing for the other team or were Dockers with Kangaroos
right on their hammer. The Kangaroos couldn't have got
better value out of Schammer if they had paid him on the
sly. Lets hope Lord Byron can put the shocker out of his
mind and cut the Lions up like he so famously has done in
the past.
The Winner last week was:
Byron Pickett! This man is
officially a gutless wonder. He only enjoys lining people up
when they cant see him coming. I hope he feels good about
Crowley's fractured cheekbone and ribs. It's one thing to be
tough at the contest, its another to go out to injure and
main unnecessarily. The fact he escaped sanction by the AFL
is a disgrace.

main unnecessarily. The fact he escaped sanction by the AFL
is a disgrace.
Round 6:
Booing and Spitting Freo Fans!
Enough has been said of this already but giving Eagles fans
the ammunition required to take the attention away from a
stirring victory over the old enemy is an unforgiving
offence, and all merely minutes after the game was over! We
didn't even have a day to bask in the glory! Instead of the
media giving us a week of good news treatment, all that is
talked about is the booing of the decision to award Judd
with a meaningless medallion. I'm sorry but a medal judged
by 3 dickheads who claim to know something about football
and only one genuine champion ex player isn't worth a pinch
of shit and needn't have spawned the wrath of the lowest
common denominator of Freo's faithful. Lift your game or
people will turn away from both the club and the game as a
whole.
Round 5:
Max the Timekeeper! We could blame
the AFL and Demtriou, but we already know they are useless,
we could blame the umpires, but we take for granted they are
blind, deaf and dumb. The reason the timekeeper is the goose
of the week, is because we have higher expectations of him
and is therefore held to a higher standard. The fact the
pitifully inadequate siren wasn't sounded constantly until
heard by an officiating umpire is an error which contributed
to the craziness which ensued all week.
Round 4: Alistair Clarkson!
Although his coaching is seeing less harsh scrutiny than
what he is used to. Walking away from the line up before the
last post and minute silence was finished just higlights how
dumb this bloke is. I blame stupidity because he doesn't
strike me as a guy who would be deliberately disrespectful.
Better luck next time Alistair.
Round 3: Chad Cornes! He
didn't do anything to annoy me or other Dockers fans in the
last game against Freo but he is such a goose that I
couldn't help but nominate him. He and Port as a whole have
a history against this team and it was good to see us expose
them for what they are, a team in definite decline.
Round 2: Whoever gave the Freo
team the revv up speech at half time! It may have been
CC, it may have been Mark Harvey, it may even have been Stan
the Janitor; but whoever it was is an absolute goose because
the team that came out breathing fire in the first half
magically turned into football dunces, fumbling and
sputtering their way to a 15 point win over cellar dwellers
Carlton.
Round 1: AFL Schedulers!
Whoever keeps scheduling Freo to play in Launceston needs to
stop it right now! While it is no excuse for the shocking
display against Hawthorn, 2 plane trips and a bus ride to
Hicksville Tasmania is not something any team should have to
do every year. To make matters worse, the Schedulers have
made us return there in round 5 against the Saints. What an
absolute joke!
