Might be dangerous if we decide to play four quarters at some stage.West Coast's second half was blistering. **** they've ran into some form. Interesting to see how they fare at their bogey ground next week but atm they're a potent weapon.
Isn't that what people said about WC 12 months ago? These rules about what can't happen seem to be hard and fast until they're not and then everyone is left scratching their heads about how they got it wrong. GWS have a shitload of talent and firepower and are absolutely in the mix.WCE, Geelong and Pies for mine, I draw the line after those 3 sides.
GWS cant mix it with the big boys at the G
Not sure where Richmond stand after they were soundly beaten by North.

I don't understand your point here.You've matched up well against the Pies at the G, but haven't seen much against other teams at the G from WC.
Last year plenty said WC couldn't play the G. If your opponent is Richmond or Geelong I'd be backing them in over you. If your opponent is Collingwood I'd back you in.I don't understand your point here.
Last year plenty said WC couldn't play at the G - and therefore couldn't go all the way. Then they won the GF at the MCG. You can tip whoever you like but that's what happened. Where did that leave the earlier claims it was simply impossible? The certainties disappeared pretty quickly, didn't they?Last year plenty said WC couldn't play the G.

I don't think you understand my point. Richmond and Geelong are better than WCE on the G. WCE are better than the Pies on the G. I'm not saying it's impossible for WCE to win on the G, just that you need results to go your way for it to work in your favour.Last year plenty said WC couldn't play at the G - and therefore couldn't go all the way.

Similarly, insisting that GWS simply can't win it - because MCG - seems shortsighted.
You're right. I don't understand your point. WC did what they needed at the MCG to win a flag (which is the only thing that matters) despite many saying it wouldn't happen. The same is entirely possible with regard to GWS.I don't think you understand my point. Richmond and Geelong are better than WCE on the G. WCE are better than the Pies on the G.

This doesn't seem right at all.I don't think you understand my point. Richmond and Geelong are better than WCE on the G. WCE are better than the Pies on the G. I'm not saying it's impossible for WCE to win on the G, just that you need results to go your way for it to work in your favour.
That's preposterous son.I don't think you understand my point. Richmond and Geelong are better than WCE on the G. WCE are better than the Pies on the G. I'm not saying it's impossible for WCE to win on the G, just that you need results to go your way for it to work in your favour.
Premiership windows don't come around that often. You go for it. Much like the Cats with Kelly, possibly a poor medium term decision but not going to die wondering flicking a top 10 (at the end of last season, now probably top 3/4) mid to the reigning premier.The Beams trade will be seen as a major waste in a couple of years.
You don't pay that much for a car with that many kms on the clock. Not in the modern game.
I still don’t understand what people see in the Crows.Terrific year ahead of us all, 5 genuine contenders right now, Geelong, GWS, Collingwood, West Coast and Richmond. Throw in a young Brisbane and a smokie like the Crows and we could be in for a terrific end of the year.

They won’t make the 8.

Playing shakey football I agree but your order doesn't make sense. How can those teams be ahead of West Coast, who the Eagles beat? What have GWS did of late? beat the bottom 3 teams in the comp that's what. As mentioned they lost to one of the better sides at the G in Hawthorn who atm aren't even in the 8. You can't give a side that much credit based on 3 weeks of football, Because they beat nobodies. If you're going off right now then that makes Freo the best side in the comp as they just knocked off Collingwood at the MCG riding a 7 game winning streak ( even they didn't beat anyone of real significance bar an injury hit Richmond )Just to clarify, WC are still playing shaky ass footy and will probably lose to Sydney next week.
On form, Geelong, some space, GWS, then Collingwood.
WC only stringing together quarters. If they play 3/4 of a match like the GF, they can trouble anyone. They play a full game as with Melbourne in the finals, they are a huge threat. Still in 2nd gear though which means they could be beaten by any side.
It doesn't matter who the Eagles beat in the regular season, it's how the overall wins stack up for finals. Geelong is the clear front runner though.Playing shakey football I agree but your order doesn't make sense. How can those teams be ahead of West Coast, who the Eagles beat?

As a whole West Coast are ahead of those sides easily. They've beaten them both, and pretty easily really. They've won 5 games straight ( which matters based off your GWS assumption ) and came back from a deficit in Adelaide. All Losses were against top 8 sides.
Wouldn't be surprised to see them get knocked off against Sydney in Sydney either. Haven't won there for 20 years. What I said still stands though, and if you're basing your assumption on where you '' believe '' they will finish as you believe in their potential, well then that's fair enough and a different story.
i am. getting destroyed by contenders is one thing, getting destroyed by dogs and north is another. the fact that we are 7-4 with a percentage about 100 shows that we struggle to win and lose big when we dont. not gonna go far like that. will finish 7-8 which means winning 4 on the trott mostly away, no chance.Not willing to draw a line through Richmond.

"The narrative" counts for nothing. It's not story time.Maybe. If they beat us there later this season then it changes the narrative, but as it stands, getting torched by the hawks and then beating up on the dees isn’t a great form guide.
