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.

    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.

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

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    no, the afl have put in a bye for this exact reason

    expect that whoever draws meth coke if they finish 5 or 6 will be hubbing in wa for two weeks before playing

    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.

    • 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.
