OPPOSITION WATCH: Rd 1 vs West Coast

WC have had an interrupted preseason with their key backs (McGovern, Barrass), and a new midfield with Kelly in there that may take time to gel. Last year we flew to the Gold Coast then to Perth on a 6 day turnaround and should have beaten them despite our injuries and poor form.  This year we have no excuses. We won’t get a better chance to win over there than round 1.

    I agree Watto also West Coast have looked underdone in both Essendon and Freo games.  I think we will lead in close game at half time and run over them in second half by 8 goals +

    My only glimmer of hope that we could pull a win out of our backsides is that from memory the weagles don’t always start the season well. 
     

    So heres hoping.

    Optus Stadium could be empty of spectators if the virus situation doesn't improve.

    Margetts will be totally confused without the advice of his mates in the stands.

    An empty Optus stadium in round one would be a sight to behold! 
    If the game could also be umpire free even better!

    Then you’ve removed two massive Eagle advantages!

    You omitted the third advantage: the non-retribution from Christian in the post-game, 'fair-play' wrap-up after Clarry has his head knocked off once again by deliberate action of a beaten opponent from the Weagles.

    Of course he's gonna say that to the media  ...........  in the full knowledge that he and his team mates are already making a disproportionate contribution to the national shortage of toilet paper.

    Seriously? I'd heard that to compensate for the zero supply of toilet paper over in WA that they had come up with their own solution to the worsening problem: the Weagles have had a brainwave, selecting across the board to use Tally Ho cigarette papers instead of reaching for the Sorbent. Apparently, it saves on wasted paper, as well.

    However they'll have to use additional hand sanitiser to remove the smell from their fingers

    West Coast Eagles

    PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
     Oscar Allen  Ankle  Test
     Jarrod Cameron  Pubic bone  5-7 weeks
     Tom Cole  Thumb  5-7 weeks
     Jack Darling  Cheekbone  Test
     Luke Foley  Pubic bone  TBC
     Daniel Venables  Concussion  Season
    Updated: Tuesday, March 17

    Early prognosis

    Allen was part of the 'A' team during Friday's match simulation and is now looking likely to play in round one. Darling was best on track in that session, according to Luke Shuey, and also looks set for the season-opener. Cameron is expected to miss up to eight weeks with the pubic bone stress injury that has hampered him previously. Cole's fractured thumb is a medium-term concern, but the defender will be able to maintain fitness during his rehab. - Nathan Schmook

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
