Yep, a tough stretch for West Coast away from Perth and missing some players.

The key issue for us is that if they drop either of the Dogs/Saints games they will be helping those sides get to 10 wins. If the Eagles win both, it keeps alive the possibility that we can qualify for finals on 9 wins.

Like @Jumping Jack Clennett said - I feel dirty even thinking about barracking for West Coast.

West Coast v Essendon - thankfully I forgot it was even on until I got up this morning.

Enjoy Scully and Frawley! ?

This is the best part of it for me. Especially Scully. Hopefully this means the filthy liar will finish his disgustingly overpaid career without a premiership. 

For year we have wanted to be just like Hawthorn and now we just about are. Only Joking, but maybe they can hit back next week and take care of the saints for us.  

Has Lynch Belted anyone yet?

The 2 best things in footy, essdrug and the bad family club losing Clarkson still thinks he has a good side. 

Edited September 2, 20204 yr by don't make me angry

Would not say no to a Freo win.

Looking unlikely though

rubbish game so far

Mark Howard and Kelly Underwood commentating together whoever thought that was a good idea should be sacked.

Fremantle really pushing Richmond. Our game against them will not be easy at all.

hogan huffing and puffing a lot

I would not be surprised if we get another upset. Fremantle not taking advantage of the opportunities presented

That maybe the case. Jesse has taken some great marks.

Just turned onto the game. Wow what rubbish scores. At this rate we'd beat richmond. 

Hogan's last 2 kicks have been atrocious. 

Wouldn't mind seeing freo win. Dimma would go off his tree.

Freo are a good side. A lot better than their position indicates. Good young team. Hogan has been good on return with 8 marks, 2 contested

we will have to play very well to beat them.

4 goals is 4 goals......tigers lethargic for 3 quarters, cotchin, martin (and others) in snooze mode and missing quite a few players

not saying wanchors were bad, but they weren't good either

Yeah nah I don't think that was a sign that Fremantle are that good.

Richmond was off. Turnovers where they usually wouldn't make turnovers. Sloppiness. Didn't appear to be caused by Fremantle pressure, seemed very unforced to me.

And despite Richmond clearly being off, Fremantle kicked 4 goals.

None of this means we should take them lightly. We shouldn't take anyone lightly. 

Very poor game to watch. Freo are ok defence wise but poor in middle and going forward. Richmond were in fairy land until the last quarter.

Would prefer this score line than them getting thumped as that might’ve called for a response against us. Will also give the players a reminder that any team can bring it on their day.

First of three games for WCE in 9 days.  Next two against Dogs and Saints.  Difficult to envisage them winning both.  To stay in 4th place they definitely need to win one as Tigs have Adelaide and Freo.  If we want to avoid an elimination final in Perth or against Tigs, we need to finish 6th or 7th so as to play Pies.  Saints or Giants or Dogs to get 8th.  That means three wins required and a percentage boost to comfortably be above Saints.  It starts tomorrow night.....

I assume tall finals will be in QLD or SA, due to quarantine rules here in WA.  14 days no exceptions.  You only have a week off from the last game.

Disagree re Hogan. He took some marks high up the ground but was a non factor. Richmond were showing him no respect putting Houli and Short on him at times and they would run off him with ease. Was also matched by Vlaustin for most of the time and lost several important contests.
