Keep Yeo in the middle and let Duggan and Sheed spend time in it and we'll be a lot better place this year and next season.
Port are currently not what they were last year and if Simpson has watched a tape of any of their last 10 games he will know they are beatable.
Port are a flag threat and we are not. But flat track bullies is a load of s**t.
West Coast by 14.

Would be best to watch tape of the first 2 games where they actually loss.
Don't know about you, but the fact that they beat two good sides with an extremely unfavourable inside 50 count makes them even more scary as they rectify that problem.

They got lucky as in both games. The amount of assey goals they kicked and the amount of behinds the opposition kicked in both games
Kaiser, prepare for a double reaming of your butthole this week. Port are gonna wipe the floor with WCE again after Barca already do so with Bayern midweek

We have only lost 2 games by more than 6 goals since the beginning of last year. I'd be disappointed if we loose by that much.

Looks like Kennedy wont play again more luck for Port.
I watched all Port's games and beside that first quarter against the Hawks (most of which was arse) they haven't run over teams like last year.
Hawks missed their shots on goal and should've won.
The Crows quite like West Coast are a good side but compared to Hawthorn they are not.
The Hawks and Crows both had more inside 50's but they never got good clean shots on goal as Port's defence of getting numbers back from hard running is excellent.
I believe West Coast like playing at Adelaide oval and we have been scoring heavily. Our only game their last year against the Crows was quite attacking.
If Port let our average midfield get some run on and 60 inside 50's I think we will win.
Altough if Kennedy doesn't get up then we're probally cooked.
I'll be there. Can't wait.
Save it for September. That's when you guys really shine and are sexy to watch.
Who gives a s**t? I didn't think anyone with an IQ over 20 still watched that crud and expected any decent football analysis.
Hawthorn and the Crows beat us on I50's because of their midfield pressure and hard presses. Can't see West Coast achieving that.
Also - those I50 conceded stats were inflated because of how the Hawks/Crows half backs were bombing it in. Port weren't necessarily dealing with the rebound exit from their back 50 well, but it was ping pong from Port D50 out to Hawks/Crows half forward line, then back in again without any finesse (especially in the Hawthorn game).
Adelaide's gameplan is based purely around pinning their opposition in their defensive 50, so their only hope of winning is a large I50 differential.
What you probably have also missed watching Port games on TV is the lightning fast pace of their matches so far. If you're at the game this week, watch how the ball carrier rarely is travelling slower than full sprint. They've upped that tempo from last year IMO. I don't think their fitness is any worse than last year, but that they're spending more fuel tickets earlier in the game. Hopefully that means as the weeks roll on that their fitness will catch up to the level required to play at that pace for 4 quarters. If last week is an indication, that's what's happening. And it's a scary thought if they can maintain that intensity for a whole game.
So in 2013 we only won games because we had a soft fixture.
In 2014, we only won games because we had 0 injuries and our opponents every week were missing key players.
Now so far this year, we are only winning games because our opponents are not taking their opportunities and we are kicking fluky goals. So much luck!
I'm already looking forward to next years new lot of excuses

LoL you like playing Adelaide Oval?! You only played one game there
The fact that we lost the i50 count and still managed to win tells me more about grinding games out then the opposition. And both of those opposition teams we lost the i50 count to have a midfield miles ahead of WCE. From what I'm hearing from WCE supporters is that they're all pinning their hopes on Kennedy. No doubt he's a gun but I think he will be easily subdued by an inform Carlile and that's if he plays.
It was a bit tongue in cheek.

Subdued by Carlisle? Yeah I don't think so. If we win the midfield (huuuuge if) Kennedy will kick a bag no matter who's on him. However we'll likely be smashed in the midfield.LoL you like playing Adelaide Oval?! You only played one game there

Too many injuries. We're no chance.
If Kennedy is unavailable that means we will be missing our FB, CHB, CHF and FF. Not to mention all our other players out.
We're not good enough to start with, let alone good enough to win with those outs.
