Can someone please shed some light for me please. Fox and media in general stating that West Coast unable to field a full team due to Covid even as yesterday but I read that currently only a couple fall into that category and the rest are injuries.

Poor research and shallow thinking by commentators.

Covid is a massive smoke screen for a multitude of problems of WCE's player and club own making.

The very little bit of sympathy I had last week evaporated when a stack of their players went clubbing and at least one brought it back to the club.

Don't care if they tank; they are in a world of pain.

Right now its up to the players if they want to turn up to play. Some bad cultural dissent appears there. It’s like week to week ask themselves should we have a crack or not?  Witness their very impressive win against Collingwood. We saw the signs of this last season where amongst a smattering of good performances they were dreadful. Interesting to see what kind  of effort they dish up against us. I would never write them off.

There is a rot at the core of West Coast's culture which has been there for a long time. Poor discipline, poor conditioning, brittle resilience when playing on the road. They need to take a hard look at themselves. Personally i hope they stay at the bottom for a long time

All seems to have stopped when "the chemist" stopped coaching there and plied his trade at the Bummers.

Had to go down to the peninsular today and actually listened to SEN. In summing up callers, there are only two teams that will beat Melbourne for the grand final and that are the "brown paper baggers" and the "ferals from Punt Road". They are both convinced that we are rubbish and last year was a fluke.

Just laughed hard for a couple of K's.

Talk about delusional and entitled people, Good grief!

The baggers haven't done shaite for the last 20 years!

Carlton are massive front runners. The Crows start saw the Blues being very flustered and even during the 4th when the Crows kicked a few in a row, they were all at sea with little to no structure set up behind the ball.

Also look at who Carlton have beaten.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
