Reckon the Bombers new game plan is much more attractive than ours!

How’s that attractive game plan looking now? 😂

Still better than our shot for goal conversion.

Presumably a throw away comment - but FYI - here’s a neat little graph

Oscar Allen, Reuben Ginbey, Elijah Hewitt off the top of my head.

Makes me reflect on the infamous 186 game. Even Jones and Frawley were only 24, and we had a stack of kids playing against Geelong at their epic best. Brad Green was our only player with 150+ games experience.

West Coast went out there with Shuey, Sheed, Yeo, Gaff and Darling over 150 and then Kelly (who will be 29 by the end of this season), Duggan, Barass, Hunt, and Petresvski-Seton in the 100-150 game range. Even the relatively younger Petrucelle, Allen and Witherden are all 24.

The real fear for West Coast is that those thirteen established players were their 'best' (to insult the term, but you know what I mean) on the day. The players 23 and under gave close to nothing - which is understandable from young players in the dire circumstances today, but also terrifying for the future of the club.

As far as list cycle and profile goes, West Coast are where Melbourne was in 2007, but... worse. Significantly worse.

If I see one more Melbourne supporter crying a river for West Coast I'm going to puke.

It's really no wonder we're perceived as such a weak club when a team whose supporters have ripped on us for decades is suddenly being cuddled and nurtured by our own supporters. 

It's their once-in-every-three-decades slump at the bottom. They'll survive.

[censored] West Coast.

No problems.

We're top 3 for goal accuracy in the league at 50.5% , league average is 48%

Further we are top 4 for shots a game - averaging 27, with Port 30.1, Adelaide and Brisbane on 28.8 and 28.1 respectively. League average 25.4 a game.

Can you narrow that down to the last 4 weeks?

2 meter's had a mare tonight

I love how the ump called advantage earlier but then when it didnt become advantage he quickly changed his mind.

Unlike Chandler's ridiculous advantage call which should also have been called back

Only reason Chandler kept going was because the whistle was late

Sure thing...

8.15

8.18

8.13

10.12

34.58 or  41.46%  - 6.5% behind league average.

Last 4 rounds across the league up until this morning- 846 goals and 846 points. 50% accuracy.

So on the form of the last 4 matches - we are 9.5 goals per 100 shots short. That's effectively 2.5 goals a game (as we have around 27.5 on target shots a game).

"It's a disgrace and Stafford should be sacked!" 😆

Quite honestly the demise of West Coast is a joy. Hunt aside, who I do really feel for, that entire arrogant organization should suffer.

    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.
