Boring season unfolding.

Only 3 can win it.....Freo, Hawthorn or Swans....

Having watched the Eagles game tonight, I'm not so sure.

The Cats aren't contenders, but they are no mugs. They've dished it up to a few sides. The Eagles had 40 scoring shots to 14. It was an annihilation. And that is being 6 or 7 players short of their best side.

They're not without a real chance.

West Coast are very much a confidence team. Playing at home this year they are going to be hard to beat with most teams struggling to compete with them. I would question though when they are on the road or come up against a well drilled team like Sydney, Freo, Hawthorn or a fast team like the Dogs. To me their midfield is their weakest link and where they lack depth. Still expect them to finish top 4 or close to it.

Your right West Coast dominated as they won the stoppages and worked hard to maintain their press. The Cats really struggled to get the ball into their half.

Maybe....it would depend on which end of the draw they fall into, especially if they get two home finals.

Cats have lost their invincibility.

NicNat: 17 disp, 2 marks, 2 goals. In a team that's second on the ladder. Meh.....

Just proves stats mean nothing

One of them contests hard, lays big tackles, gets the ball moving forward at stoppages, gives his teammates first use, creates space at the contest and uses his speed to advantage

The other is Jack Watts

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
