What does that mean??

WCE scored 79 pts v Carlton's 69pts at the MCG in Rd 5 and then next week Rd 6 at Perth Stadium scored 89pts v Freo's 81pts. That list says that WCE have gone 0/1 weeks in a row not scoring 100 pts. In my world that is 2 games in a row. Collingwood started the seeeing with 2 losses scoring 67 pts v Hawks and 79 v GWS

Without looking at it at all, is it current streak?

Lol, they're going to be pissed off

Great ..

I think it's referring to current streaks? Either way the picture doesn't provide much info...

That would make sense. I thought it might be streaks over the same period as Blues went 50 straight.

Melbourne, Carlton, Saints, Freo and GWS - yep that's 5 low scoring games in a row.

WEST Coast captain Shannon Hurn and Geelong forward Tom Hawkins have earned giant reprieves from Match Review Officer Michael Christian, cleared for awkward incidents that occurred over the weekend.

Christian getting rich from all of the fines.

Is it really only five games since we played the bulldogs?

Carlton have played Collingwood 17 times this year alone

Fox sports now projecting port to finish 9th

Correct if we win 1 more game.

2 wins gets us to 8th.

Christian with another monumental utensil up - Howe’s trip graded as careless instead of intentional. What was Howe’s intent if it wasn’t to trip? Christian you fool!

Didn't he punch Cripps in the face or is this another incident?

Another incident. He got 2 for the punch which was correctly graded intentional.

Lol that's so Howe.

Disagree, my prediction has us on 13 wins, and only percentage keeping us from 9th. I think we need to win 3 to make finals. 2 might get us there, but it will mean we are reliant on percentage.

I'm not necessarily a doom-and-gloomer, but after sitting through yesterday's game, unless a switch is flicked somewhere, I can't see us winning against the crows, Collingwood and West Coast. Essendon will depend on which Essendon turn up and whether they have started to tank. If we win next week against the doggies I will still need to see some significant changes in the way we play before I will be much more optimistic.

Disappointing Ports performance aside, GWS are coming!

Say hooray for AFL House everybody!

That’s nice of them.

Is 9th a better outcome to usher in some change?

Irrespective of how we have been playing, we have bottled this year. We were 3-0 and 11-4. You would take those every single season before a ball is bounced.

 

[OneGreatClub]

If only we had replaced like for like this season so our players and new recruits could actually get some confidence in our game plan and who and where to kick to.
Ken revels in this idea of our flexibility with ability to play in multiple positions but we are obviously not at the stage where we are ready for the continual disruption and confusion.
We do more damage to our own side than we do the oppo with the continual robbing one position to fill another.

Good chance this week to kick a dog when there down.
Like you after that I don’t see a lot of joy unless there is divine intervention.

When you say some changes it depends on what those changes are.
To be honest I think we need coaching change more than we need player change.

Agree. I don’t think Ken will be going anywhere unless he walks away but our assistants could be under the pump. I’m talking Lade Greaves nicks

Needs to be pain ahead. Finish 8th hides it a little.
