West Coast sure did nail the right small forwards in recent times.

Did they draft the right small forwards, or did they just surround the small forwards they drafted with quality talls in a proper structure that allows small forwards to play at their peak?

If Jarrod Cameron played under Ken Hinkley he'd struggle to kick 8 goals in a season, let alone 8 goals in two weeks.

Yeah I can’t imagine Hinkley picking Oscar Allen when darling and Kennedy are in the side.

I agree to an extent but we'd draft 4 Jake Neades so it wouldn't matter

 

[GremioPower]

Shocking defence. As boring as basketball.

Thank you! I am not alone.

Who do we want to win this game for our benefit on the ladder?

West Coast.

Collingwood are the only side out there tonight that could slide.

However we've got a country mile to go before we could even contemplate getting near them, and contending for top 4. Just win this week first.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Could they have come up with two less appealing Saturday night games?

To the point, Josh Mahoney went from marginal 4-club journeyman to premiership smallf living in the same habitat as WGT.

I don't give Collingwood much of a chance going into the last quarter, WCE are applying far more pressure which in turn results in more turnovers. They simply look exhausted out there whilst WCE seems to have plenty of stamina to spare. I'm still not sure where this performance is coming from, because Collingwood have only just started to drop off, what I want to know is, why?

Because Collingwood has been down a rotation all match due to the fact that a key position player who wouldn’t normally come off the ground is injured?

Fair enough I suppose, I know that we have had problems in the absence of a key defender before, and that would certainly explain WCE's forward dominance. But it's also their ball movement across the field. Collingwood has been out-paced and hunted down many times tonight, sometimes due to dangerous disposals, but many times due to simply being outpaced by the Eagles. They've been caught HTB quite a few times tonight for that exact reason.

You can bet he'd get the whole season to do it though.

WCE lost Cripps around the same time.

I think Moore is a higher quality player and has much more positional influence and importance than Cripps, being a key defender and all.

 

[GranFormaggi]

How s**t are West Coast without a 2-1 free kick differential

 

[Eddie Dingle]

There’s just something about WC that actually makes me want Collingwood to win.

[Eddie Dingle]

Good grab by that Shephard chap

Buckley had a big chat with the umps in the pre game warm up.
reckon something will come of that at some point during the week.

 

[Steve Dore]

Don't these umpires realise the game is in Perth?

As soon as tonight on 6PR if Collingwood win

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Why can you run 40 metres without bouncing when you play on from a kick in?

 

[Harro59]

West Coast look a bit cooked here, not sure what's going on.

As if we didn't need MORE games of football with teams that can't kick goals for s**t this year.
