Toby Greene is an outstanding player. Love watching him play. He won the game for them in 21 at the G. If we can keep him quiet we will win the game. If he gets off the leash then it’s 50/50

We should take care of our own business and not expect anyone else to take care of it for us. Do that and it won't matter what other teams do.

Tiges having their [censored] handed to them here. My preference was a tiges win but now that doesn't look possible i hope they get belted by 100 points.

I reckon the suns will beat the pies.

Yes. The reverse fixture earlier this season

The umps are incompetent but crows do ok on balance. The umps did their best to get them over the line when these 2 played earlier in the season. Their kicking cost them that game and cost them this game as well.

kicking straight makes a big difference.

whats this! pies on the ropes big time

It's bizarre that the competition doesn't alternate between home and away. Its fair and common sense. It's how it's done in every league in every sport that I know of.

Anyone worrying about Essendon taking our spot in the top 4 will be breathing a little easier watching this game. No way are they a top 4 team.

This has been coming for West Coast. I've been surprised their fanbase haven't mutinied already but surely today is the final straw. Simpson out for starters but the whole club is rotten, top to bottom. May they languish for the next decade.

how did McClean miss that

hopefully Freo

Dammit. Oscar Allen marks and goals. Can't see 186 now.

Didn't think it was possible but West Coast are actually worse than Melbourne 2012-2014. Hilarious. Couldn't happen to a nicer club. Even funnier would be Harley Reid dumping them after his 2 years contract is up to return to Victoria. That would be the icing on the cake for me.

Either way I'll be happy tonight. Bombers win helps our draft hand. If we fear them taking our top 4 spot, then we have much bigger problems. Freo win and I'll get to enjoy a bombers loss.

We're not banged up we're just clueless going inside our forward 50. And a bunch of drunks would have a better set-shot record that us over the past few weeks

In: Brown Out: Smith If Brown not fit then Tommo for Wmith If Brown is fit he has to come in. If not play Petty forward. Smith wasn't bad but he's just a stop gap. I don't think he can be a regular forward for us. Second half proved that. Give Spargo a spell at Casey to see if he can regain some form. It made zero sense having him sub. Harmes for sub. Tommo was stiff but he has had as many bad games as good this year. If Petty plays forward this week then bring him in but if not then leave Petty in defence.

Just watched the game (was indisposed last night). Was able to check the scores from halftime and was sure we would get it done at ¾ time. Dropped a game we should have won. Frustrating as hell but we’ll win enough games to finish top 4. From there, I don’t know. Forward line is dysfunctional and has been for a while. I think we need BB to win a flag. I hope he has the legs for one last dance. Petty has to go forward and hopefully can do a job for us but he won’t be a saviour. We have got to find a KPF during trade period. An absolute must. The pies win gave me hope. We have a good draw to September so have the opportunity to get on a roll. I just pray that BB can get fit and fire for us one last time. Go Dees

Never easy at taxpayer funded park as their home record attests. They are undermanned and vulnerable. If we're about our business we should win. But it'll be tough. Always is down there. Dees by 10 points

Petty is best 22. If he’s fit, he plays. Tough on Tomlinson but it’s great to have him as cover and know he can do a job for us and be relied upon if needed. We know what Tomlinson can do for us. Smith is 2 games into a stint as a forward. The experiment needs more time to see if a viable longer-term solution for us. I’m in favor of keeping him in for this reason. I’m a huge fan of Spargo but his form is well down this year. Hopefully a spell at Casey will help him rebuild his form and confidence. An in form Spargo would be great to have in the latter part of the season and finals. A lot of questioning of the selection committee in this thread. I can’t think of too many calls they’ve got wrong this season. There was a lot of calls for Salem to come back through the VFL but he has hardly missed a beat since returning. Like Salem I think Petty much more likely to find form quicker in the firsts than at Casey. I thoroughly dislike the cats and really resent getting sent to their sh*tpile of a stadium and ground every year. I hope we smash ‘em.

If the Suns had any supporters they'd be very disappointed right now.

Suns have reverted to their flaky unreliable selves.

Suns forward play is plain dumb.

I'm going to ignore the permutations and barrack for a Carlton loss. Because it's Carlton and it's the right thing to do.
