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: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
