Melbourne v West Coast

Recommended Posts

Watching the replay right and thinking who is worse between Melbourne or West Coast? :wacko:

Melbourne.

WCE still have 3 out and out superstars in Kerr, Cox and Glass, and probably better under 21 talent as well.

I got a feeling they have their eyes on this "superdraft" and a couple of WA boys namely Naitanui & Rich - dont be surprised if Kerr is traded and they try and load up on first round picks.

They lack quality KPP and leadership at the moment but their list is a lot better then ours.

I'd say WC are playing worse, but we are a worse team, based on our list compared to theirs.

They'd beat us by 5-6 goals if we played them tomorrow, even based on current form.

The eagles form is poor, but they have a much richer list than we do. They should be able to notch up wins against sides who travel to the west. WC will win at least 3-4 games more than we will this season.

Port has bounced back, it looks like the dunce teams in the afl will be WC, Essendon,Carlton, Freo and of course, the mighty dees.

Good news for us us we still get to play 4 of those 5 teams, we may just win a few (essendon have so many injuries that they should be considered a walk over).

If i were an eagles fan i would have less to worry about than a dees fan.

I'm young, but I've seen a lot of footy and we're playing the worst of any team I can recall ever seeing. Having said that I don't think we're too far away from turning it around. We have to remember that most teams go through a crap phase at some point, its part of the cycle. Hopefully all our crap years have come at once, so that we'll only spend 1 or 2 years more down the bottom before we return to finals footy. It happens to everyone, it just so happens that we're really, really bad at the moment.

Well, I tipped it to a bunch of my friends at the start of the year. I thought West Coast would be bad and Melbourne slightly better, but we're horrible and they're even worse. Wow. We have some stiff competition.

As long as our spirit never drops to the level i just saw West Coast's in that quarter. WOW

Even when they've played "well" this game, they've still looked slow and awkward

Well I kept seeing a melbourne jumper on those west coast players, they looked horrible and make the same stupid mistakes we have been doing, but add in the players that they are missing and they would be a whole lot better, they are still rabble tonight, good thing is carltank will win again :)

What's weird is they are playing on Subi liked WE played on Subi last year. Less than twelve months ago actually.

Crashing and burning in the AFL takes no time at all... building a side takes infinitely longer.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
