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.

[Ouch! 2,276]

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.

[Demonland 74,467]

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.

 

[SFebes 4,884]

We need Kennedy to be out, fingers crossed.

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.

Wouldn't be the first time.

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.

[DubDee 26,710]

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.

[hells bells 2,023]

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

[whatwhat say what 23,880]

kennedy seems unlikely til finals tbh, same as viney and probably treloar

lots of teams will have big decisions to make IF they make it

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.

The 30 day rain radar on Sky Weather predicts no rain on the 19th of August.

More opposition watch  -  Carlton have committed to being a garbage side for a few more years at least.
