Game Day Round 13, 2025: West Coast vs North Melbourne

[steve hucka]

Should go in as favourites I reckon. We've been playing a better brand of footy lately but have come up against 2 top 5 teams.

Have also had a harder fixture so far, we've played 7 top 8 teams, North has played 4.

First time I have tipped us In 2 years.....

Haha, it's just not the same without the commentary.
i had to limit myself to two per game though.
For such a scrappy game there were so many great moments in that prelim.

I loved JKs back with the flight mark and goal to get us underway

It was my honourable mention.

Great, great combo, wasn't it? The mark, the goal ... awesome JK.

We were desperate for something to happen. Prelim final and you are goalless in the first Q. Not ideal and then Kennedy stands up and says, "who's coming with me?"

Wonderful preview FatPizza, 10/10. Love the trip down memory lane and talking about old matchups. After they (North) got us in the finals in 95 & 97 (and made a young boy very sad ) 2012 & 2015 was great.

Hoping for a win this week. Our best is capable, but North have been playing relatively well and I have some concerns ala the fixture last year - them coming off a bye and us maybe tiring a bit. Would have freshened the team up at selection, but will trust the coach/match committee and see how we go.

Fav preview of the season

2015 PF one of the all time Brad Scott team performances. Sent out with one goal in mind and it wasn’t to hit the contest hard.

Not sure we need a travelling emergency for a game 90 minutes down the road.

I assume Ryan (or possibly Cripps) is under a cloud. Otherwise they could just have Long play limited minutes today like Davis did last week.

I hope we bring the passion again, and see out a win. What’s the weather like in Bunbury atm?

I miss Brad Scott (at NM) Week.

I'm guessing it is fairly similar to Perth's weather atm.

I’m in Melbourne, freezing wet and windy here.

Cold (by our standards) and dry.

I was hoping like 40C and North would fall like flies.

Nah high teens max and clear.

Cheers. All I remember from 20 years living in W.A is 40C every day.

Perth today was no chance of rain or clouds. Pretty warm for this time of year if you are in the sun (did hedge trimming as green verge pickup on Monday). Very little wind. Still shorts weather.

Bunbury bound to be a few degrees cooler, but no chance of rain today or tomorrow.

22°C in Perth tomorrow, 20°C in Bunbury - little or no wind.

We’ve had an incredibly mild sunny Autumn and almost no rain, it’s really just getting cold now.

That weather sounds good for footy, hopefully the trip to Bunbury will drain North a bit and give us a slight edge.
