Week early aren’t you? 

Lets worry about the swans. One week at a time and all that ?

Agree . Beat swans and don’t really care about last two results. Just need to make eight . Simple and this game ‘could’ be the one.

    I read on news.com.au that Gaff has flown to Melbourne to attend the tribunal hearing in person tonight.

    What the focus on WC? 

    Lets just take the Simon Goodwin line of "one week at a time"... ??

    This weekend game is by far our biggesthlme and away game this year.. win this and we're pretty much locked and loaded.

    Just being a good scout and keeping an eye on the enemy. Staying two moves ahead. Feel free to come back next week to see all the intel I have gathered. :P

     

    Heaven forbid you share this information a week early mate. Didn't you know the subjects we talk about on DL have an actual effect on the results on game day? Thanks for ending our season with your premature post.

    For some reason I fancy our chances against the eagles more than the swans. No real logic to it so must be MFCSS that kicked in for the swans game at 1755 on the 5/8/18.

    Could it be that we have an 8-4 record interstate since the start of 2017?

    As opposed to a losing record at the MCG in that same period.

    Optus:

    Field of play dimensions will be 165m along the east-west axis and 130m on the north-south axis. This is slightly shorter than Domain Stadium (Subiaco Oval) but aligned with the MCG, which is 160m x 141m.

    you just know Kennedy will be back for the Dees game.

    Gaff is a massive out though.  so much of their attacking play starts with him or goes through him. Put harmes on Shuey.

    Demand the players lower their eyes and hit up short 30m kicks into the fwd line.  no McGovern long bombs.

    DD, nothing is more certain from us than countless long bombs i50 every game

    I hope I don't get in trouble for this but I copied and pasted directly from Bigfooty's West Coast forum:

     

    1) So I’ve got a mate who’s family is I think married in to JK and they are pretty close with him.

    Don’t shoot the messenger and I was skeptical when they all told me but they were very confident that JK is out for the season.

    Again take it with a grain of salt because I have no idea whether they are assuming or have heard it from the great man himself but I thought I would pass on the message.

     

    2) I've heard they dont have a time frame for his return and he wont play until finals at the earliest, club is keeping tight lipped.

    JK just told 6PR that he'll be pushing for Brisbane (R23).

    Gaff won’t be the only one out of the game, Kennedy says his return is still weeks away as he recovers from a shin injury.

    “I’ll start doing some training this week. I won’t play this week and it’ll be a bit of a push for next week as well. She’s still been a little bit sore,” Kennedy told Steve and Baz.

    Him having said that he said, "Hopefully I can fully train next week and get through what I need to do to play again Melbourne because we've got a couple of big games coming up but if not I'll be pushing to play against Brisbane."

    I heard from my contacts in the WCE inner sanctum that Gaff might miss our round 22 clash resulting from an incident with Andrew Brayshaw on Sunday.  Apparently it is pretty serious.  Watch this space.

    Tribunal tonight, meeting clubs tomorrow.  I reckon he is now a certainty to leave West Coast.

    I call BS. They were seen playing golf together last week. Just more media spin. He will surely play v Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
