    MVP West Coast v Port AFLW Round 1

    Strategy 2022 Rest of Season strategy thread

    With the horrid injuries that were upon the club before the season started, then the month of COVID giving us the spirited replacements and now NicNat going down, what should we do with season 2022?

    Shuey as captain NicNat and Guv as vice Oscar, Barrass and Duggan in extended group Same as the last 2 season in reality A captain that is already missing chunks of preseason with more soft tissue issues Guv not deserving the role as he failed with his inability to lead in Shuey’s absence...

    Strategy 16 Minute Quarters - Who will benefit?

    Looking at the change with 16 minute quarters, who will be the beneficiaries? NicNat. I am thinking the biggest beneficiary will be NicNat. He has around 60% TOG so that will allow him to go closer to 75% TOG. Bailey Williams. More time for NicNat means Hickey or Vardy are not as required as...

    Game Day Round 3: West Coast v Geelong (let’s christen our new stadium with a win)
