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

    How’s that attractive game plan looking now? 😂

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
