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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
