After The Game With Snaps Truly – Rd 20 2026 V West Coast

It won’t surprise any of you that I have long been a keen student of the ancient Greek texts and this week I went to see The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s slightly contemporary retelling of one of literature’s greatest stories. A story of conquest and struggle and triumph and tragedy and as I write this now I can see a lone West Coast Eagles supporter in front of me – narrow of shoulder, hidden by a hoodie, trying to sit unnoticed in a sea of marauding Freo fans. What must it be like for him tonight. To stare miserable defeat in the face again. Searching this battlefield where once, hoardes of blonde, lotus flower eating, berserkers ran…

Westport’s New Container Port Design

Westport, in the Westport Business Case published in 2024, identified the preferred design for the $7.2 billion future container port - to replace Fremantle - and the related supply chain. It includes a new port terminal in the Kwinana Industrial Area and marine infrastructure in Cockburn Sound, supported by an upgraded road and rail freight network and logistics hub.

After The Game With Snaps Truly – Rd 19 2026 V Port Adelaide

Firstly, congratulations to Brennan Cox on his 150th game.  The forward turned defender. A man who can take a strong mark, thump a high ball clear of danger, deliver neatly and  only ocasionally get caught holding the footy when he falls into that strange dream like state. An important player for Freo.  Luke Ryan’s great pal back there and one of three South Australians who’ve headed West to play for the Dockers. And well played too, namesake Mason.  Highly theatrical, forever looming large and sometimes very nearly arriving.  To be fair, he did show up last week against Sydney.  Taking pack marks, kicking a goal, deftly tapping to a hungry midfield and even kindly reaching…
