Game Day Round 9, 2025: West Coast vs Richmond

[Bacchus]

Wonder if we’re swinging Allen forward and playing Edwards and Brock together down back?

Jack Williams desperately unlucky if he’s been dropped.

He’s a very good kick for goal unlike Archer (and Bailey) who are very poor kicks for goal.

 

[Bacchus]

After the mauling we got by Gold Coast in Rd1 when I thought we might be half a chance and then again by the then winless Blues in round 5, I haven't shared any of the confidence some posters have shown in possible winable games such as Bombers and Dees.
This week I feel a bit different. Tigers are on a similar level to us and I dont think we will mind playing at the G as it is a similar dimension to Optus. I just think we will be more desperate for that win than the Tigs who have a couple under the belt and the boys will play out of their skin and snatch a victory here.

Confident is a strong word but I have faith.

Richmond’s defence is very strong. Virtually all experienced premiership players.

Broad,,Vlastun Short and Balta at one end,Lynch at the other and
Nankervis,Taranto and Hopper in the guts.
I’d certainly play BBW As he has more mongrel.
Need to go short into the forward line not bomb away as this lot will pick us off all day!

 

[Elite Pete]

HJ's latest insta post looks like he's on the plane? But not named in the team?

Does seem weird as he wasn’t named in the WAFL last night or emergency.

If you are interested, Richmond do a Pod and invite an Oppo poster to join them. I was up for it this week. My outburst had already happened so I knew I could be civil!!!

I was at the airport waiting for my flight. Although I was in a meeting on my laptop, I tried to keep an eye out as best I could. I saw HJ and Gross — interestingly, I also saw B. Williams and Flynn, but no sign of J. Williams. Harry Edwards was on the flight too. No sign of Long and Owies, but he couldn’t have been hidden behind the bigger guys.
Cole was on the flight

big if true

If Jack Williams is dropped that’s insane.

Will be another weird selection by McQualter. He does a few of those.

 

[Cuzz09]

No Eleni

our best "IN" by far

 

[Cuzz09]

We are going to get thumped and - rightly - attention turns to us being winless and being worse than Fitzroy.

Prove me wrong (I guess), but I have no confidence without Gov and Yeo there, especially away from home.

Why... WHY would anyone have ANY confidence in this side?

Best we can hope for us effort

 

[Cuzz09]

Hope for continued progress from Hewett and Ginbey.

Hope a couple of other guys step up

Hope Harley can get into the game a bit more.

Hope we kick straight

Hope we win

 

[Cuzz09]

Lack of Shanahan screams of Mini looking after his tigger mates.

Doesn't want him ripping them a new one on debut at the home of football.

ShanaHANDS 7 goal debut v StK next week it is then...

I wonder if Jilliams is injured and has been replaced in the squad by Johnston.

That would explain the latter travelling and the former not.

 

[bUCKET__]

The AFL are gunna accuse us of tanking if we don't play Shanahan soon. Or make him captain. Reminds me of Judd.

after Bailey Williams joined Matt Flynn on the flight to Melbourne.
It comes as draftee Tom Gross and defenders Sandy Brock and Harry Edwards joined Williams as potential inclusions, with Jack Williams appearing to be omitted after not being spotted on the flight.

Victorians Campbell Chesser and wingman Harvey Johnston were also on the flight despite not being named in the squad, while injured premiership hero Dom Sheed also flew out.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Bah Gawd, that’s Campbell Chesser’s music!

Oh wonder if Sheed is a chance to sub!

 

[flyinghi64]

Well have my parents flying in tonight so going out for Mothers day lunch.
Going to miss the game live so that's it, pencil us in for our first win this year.
