Game Day Round 6, 2025: West Coast vs Essendon (A Far Side Story)

[Keys]

Hoping we play three tall backs
Brock Edwards and Mc Govern
Gives us flexibility and allows Ginbey to run of not playing on big boys

Essendon don’t really have three tall forwards for them to play on though

Peter Wright likely comes in to replace Bryan with Draper moving into the ruck. Edwards would be a better match for Wright than Brock

Whilst Jones is 196cm, he’s not a true KPP and could be picked up by Maric or McGovern

Then it’s Caddy who’s 193cm and could be matched by whoever doesn’t take Jones

I don’t think there’s a matchup for Brock

If Tim plays well, he goes a long way to helping us win.

That's IF.

Personally I'd like to see him at half forward like many here, but I'd say he'll be in the middle. If he mopes around again I expect this to be his last game in our colours.

"Oscar has had a heavy workload and played more AFL minutes than any of our players, and we anticipated we would need to manage him in the near future,” General Manager Football Gavin Bell said.

“This week with back-to-back six-day breaks and following travel was the right time to give him a break to freshen up."

Brock is pretty impressive , interesting team line up this afternoon if McGovern returns ( who misses out )
Maybe Maric .

Hope this means we go in shorter and unleash some of our famous running power!

What we must do is keep an endurance athlete like Davis as a sub, where his endurance means absolutely nothing.

**** Tim Kelly.


Absolutely did not earn a recall. Was a passenger in the WAFL just like he has been in the AFL.

Also completely defeats the purpose of dropping a senior player to “send a message” when they know they aren’t really that far away from a recall regardless of performance. Does Kelly in this form really improve our numbers on the weekend?

Could West Coast give Mid-Season recruit Merrett role?

"He is super diligent to his role, athletic and strong."

We had Hutchings as tagger and we won a premiership.
Now we have Hutchinson as tagger and another premiership will not be far away.

Hutching's son

My sister rescheduled Easter dinner at her place from Sunday to Friday.

I was relieved.

Which makes me sad.

Very true. Oh Hogan is in ripping nick

Changes were already being discussed here so no point having two threads open to discuss the same thing

is under concussion protocols after a meeting between his manager and Don Pike went sideways on the streets of Adelaide and he copped an errant fire hydrant to the back of his head.

 

[eaglevision]

With Oscar out, debut Shanahan and Grego. That is all I ask.

 

[new breed]

Think we will improve this week , hope Waterman is okay play Maric forward .

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Why are we even bothering to offer this bloke another contract?

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Don't break my heart... I can't handle it. Give me something, anything. Just tell me there is a chance.
