BDA

Slow start but worked our way into it. Bedfords been good. Fritsch clean and composed. Viney getting his hands on it and trac starting to be an influence.

Great pressure Bedford

May marked that ball. Terrible call ump

Lachie Shultz has improved a lot this year

I thought Freo were supposed to have a good defense. Geelong marking everything that goes into their forward 50

The contrast between Max Gawn and Nic Nat could not be more stark. Maxy has built a tank which allows him to get up and down the ground all day. A huge asset to his team. Nic Nat is gassed after a quarter because he's so unfit. Gets hailed for his tapwork (which is good) but adds nothing else to his team West Coast are an arrogant club with an arrogant fanbase. And now they have an arrogant playing group who can;t be bothered to to present in proper condition. I've never had much time for this club because i don;t think they've ever had a particularly strong culture. They've folded many times on the road, even when contending for flags, despite having all the resources an AFL team could wish for and the pick of the best players in WA They've had some great players along the way and still do. Josh Kennedy has been outstanding. But there's a rot at the core of that club. Let them languish at the bottom for many years

This game has suddenly got a lot more interesting. No doubt covid protocols have evened up the odds but we are still going in with a strong team Looking forward to seeing how our system holds up with all the changes in personnel. Losing Kossie and Nibbler will impact our forward half pressure but hopefully Bedford can bring some heat to compensate I’m bringing my boy along to his first game. He’s excited and so am I Despite the changes we’ll win Dees by 25 points

I’d hate to lose him. we should do everything we can to convince him to stay but if he wants to return for family reasons then so be it. Drive a hard bargain with west coast, get some top picks and let JT go to work in the draft

We'll win regardless

Horrible from the Eagles. 100 point belting coming up

Willie Rioli is great to watch. Super player

Even though the dockers are shaping as a rival to us this year i still want them to beat the cats. Taberner is a big out for them so they may struggle to score but i reckon their defensive game will strangle the cats and they'll do enough to win

Still a strong team and should be enough to beat Hawthorn

Yze is a top assistant. He'll get a head coaching job before too long perhaps as early as this off season. Thats just the way it goes. I'm sure we'll all wish him well when the time comes and thank him for the great job he's done for us

Thankfully we found a cure for that. Our 13th premiership!

Unfortunate for those affected but hawks on a 5 day break and starting to show signs of fatigue because of Mitchell’s gung ho game plan. We’ll win regardless

Before opening the thread i assumed Ed Langdon would be number 1

Kicking straight makes a big difference

Swans have left their shooting boots in Sydney

We’ve played teams so far whose mindset has been to keep the score respectable We’re coming up against the Hawks next. They’ll have a go at us. And regret it. We’ll beat them by 50+ points I reckon

I'm not fussed what the W/L column says as long we finish top 2 and secure home finals

The way he's going it won't be long until he's on a par with Lever and May. I watched him closely night. Great timing, positioning and mark of the ball. He was outstanding last year and has picked up where he left off despite the injury disruption. He's a fantastic player

Must kick straight

In: Lever, Viney, goal kicking practice Out: Dunstan (didn't play badly), Smith (does plenty right but his mistake was a howler), goal kicking yips

Jesus wept. I think our wins are fantastic. Have you forgotten all those god awful seasons we had
