Game Day Round 19, 2025: West Coast vs Tasmanian Tigers

[UseR2006]

Shanahan to kick 5 and lead us to Victory.
He'll get the rising star nod and a Goal of the Year nom to boot.

Harley gets the 3 votes for a 28 touch, 3 Goal game.

Fair to say the annual Divorce GameTM in my household could get a little bit spicy tonight

Whoever loses wears the handcuffs?
Or washes the dishes

 

[Astro7]

Only game I'm going to this year. Pretty please win!

Had to catch a bus from Geraldton. Haven't I suffered enough?

Wow, that's dedication!!

It'll be Kelly and Petch's fault as far as the board is concerned.

Yep, can't wait for the pile-on and melts!

Harley to play his best game ever.

Look forward to the Harley sideshow! And how he handles the heat?

 

[Marlin01]

If we lose we seriously need to origami the place.

 

[DorothyG]

My current vibe.

Eagles by 68pts

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions in the previous RDT a few months ago. I’m the guy who is Vic country born and bred, and chose to support the Eagles when they came into the comp when I was 9 (long story).

I’ve been a Vic member for as long as I could get myself to games and have been through all the ups and downs sitting at the G, Docklands, Vic Park, Western Oval, Kardinia Park etc.

Today, 38 years later, I attend my first home game. The fam and I are over for the school hols. #2 kid has chosen the Eagles too - he’s 10 so looks at me strange when I explain what a consistent powerhouse we used to be.

We went to open training on Tuesday and kid #2 got all the signatures. We also did the Optus Stadium tour. We’re staying in Subiaco and have loved walking around the old oval.

Despite me telling kid #2 to soak it all in and not worry about a win too much, I’m now a nervous wreck as if it’s a final.

I’d love us to get a win to top off the bucket list otherwise I might need to find a pier in Esperance to walk off. I’m not sure where that is but it seems highly recommended on this board.

Either way, I’m determined to enjoy it as it will be core memory stuff.

Go Eagles.

Hopefully you get a win for your first home game, because Esperance is cold this time of year.

Get there in time to see Auzzie fly, always a fun game to see if she comes back to the handler or goes on a bit of a wonder

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Weird to be watching Richmond live two weeks in a row.

If they play like last week we'll win by 200 points.

Yes, will make sure of it! Wasn’t sure if she flies at night games too?

The tour guide at Optus did say she is getting a bit forgetful in her old age and might need to retire soon but there’s another one in training ready to step in.

Can you give us the TLDR?
Is it just this?

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

I'm gonna miss all the banter here tonight, family commitment at the pub...can at least watch the game tho.

If we get up, I'm coming into the pos/neg thread pissed as a newt with a head full of steam

If we lose, I'm going to chuck on my Bob Dylan records and cry into my whisky

 

[wce4premiership]

Eagles will definitely be playing in this one I think. Against Richmond.

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Welcome to Optus Stadium for our clash between…West Coast…and…Richmond…

I'm joined here by Dermott Brereton. Who's your tip for today Dermott?

I'm going to say. Richmond.

I disagree, I'm going to go with. The West Coast.
