West Coast are the most underrated team right now.

Oh hey it's this thread again.



We're pretty much Hawthorn-lite. No surprises given where Simpson learnt his craft as an assistant.

However, I think we'll be exposed against the real thing in two weeks - a much harder, experienced, drilled outfit. Yours to lose without a doubt.
Bingo. It's master and apprentice.

It's Star Wars episode 3. We're Anakin. They're Obi Wan. We all know how it went down. Just wait for episode 4.

Eagles have not lost to a NON WA side at Subiaco all year would take a pretty special form the Hawks to Roll them.

Means nothing when your midfield unit is better and your team as a whole is just on another planet.

Yeah, we may start favourites in two weeks, and could indeed win, but in terms of the premiership calculations you guys are favourites (and will be even if you lose to us at Subi) and deservedly so.

I think as things stand the game in 2 weeks is a legitimate 50-50.

Still a long time to grand final day, about 10 weeks.

10 weeks ago people thought Fremantle wouldn't lose a game and were locks for the premiership.

Ah ha.....That's what they said about the 2008 Cats....Ergo, your contentions = 0

West Coast have the superior all-round pace & are younger, hungrier & fitter!....Off the scale X factor.

Feel tough now bud?

Anyhows west coast have been fantastic this year and are a real threat to the hawks and freo if they can keep this up. Hope the big injury toll doesn't hurt them too much come September. Only team ill be cheering for come September.

Clarko quelled that against Freo though

Just play man on man and create dirty ball - then the harder bodies will win the scrap

In saying that - today highlighted why Hawthorn are so dominant

Hawks managed to wipe the floor with Sydney despite fairly balanced midfield stats

We dominated the midfield ball and just nowhere near as efficient going i50.

Hawks would have won by... well a lot with our midfield domination today
