I’m not sure it’s ever easy to beat the Eagles in Perth. They are a 5 goal or more better team in Perth than playing away. Would be interesting to see their season broken into home and away results with respective %.

Not sure about percentage but they are 7-3 at home and 3-6 away from Perth.

But they're 1-2 in their last three home games, including a loss to North and a 10-goal loss to the Dogs. And the win before that was a 5-point win against Richmond.

    Yes, their form is ordinary, it’s just whether they lift after their bake from Simpson and being a big game re finals for them. 
    If Demons bring our A grade effort, we win.

    Yep.

    Bear in mind, also, that West Coast has only beaten a top 8 side once all year - Port Adelaide in Round 3.

    They're 1-5 against the top 8, with us and Brisbane to play.

    I’m just sick of always playing them in Perth, same as I’m always sick of playing Geelong away.

    Hopefully we get up and the AFL give us the Sunday graveyard time slot next week to recover (I guess next weeks game will have to be Sunday as a 5 day break is banned by AFLPA).

    And???????????

    Literally nothing thrown up by concerted googlesearching (If Mark McGowan held a press conference and nobody came, etc?...)

    From snippet on ABC news tonight, looks like it might have been to announce WA's response to (and acceptance of) NT saying no more WA freeloader access to Howard Springs quarantine.

    Nothing to see here...

    When was the last time we played the Eagles down in Melbourne?

    2014.

    8 straight H&A games away from Melbourne - two have been our home games sold to the NT, the other six have been away games.

    Since 2010 there have only been two years in which we haven't played West Coast in Perth - 2013 and 2015. That's 9 times in 11 seasons we've been sent to Perth to play the Eagles. In the same time period, we've played them in Melbourne three times, and one of those was at Marvel (2011). Two MCG games against them since 2010.

    Melksham's disposal is elite, and we need to have a look at him for the next couple of weeks.  I like his selection on that basis, but he needs to produce now, or he shouldn't be playing finals.!

    Agreed, the time for sloppiness from the Melk is well and truly over. He must execute his responsibilities to a higher level of mastery including the application of forward presssure. He can be a significant element of the match-winners circle, so he should participate at that level.

    Feel sorry for Hibberd. Has been a big reason for our success this year. Dropped in form last few games but certainly not alone.

    We can hope, in Hibberd's case, that he is being managed for fitness and restorative reasons to be capable of a great series of performances and shut-downs (his best asset) in the finals - or earlier, if he is showing great signs of readiness.

    I also can't shake the image of Vardy ruffling Max's hair after Ryan's mark. The audacity of the guy to do that after having his pants pulled down all day by Gawn was astounding. Having said that - he's not worth wasting any energy on. The dense [censored] would probably see it as a complement. 

    Maybe, if AVB gets lucky and is scheduled to play, he may have one little visit to Vardy during the game.

    Well said ...he has done a number on not a few good players this year and I hope to see him back.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
