At full strength West Coast, Essendon have been better so far this year though..yea they lost to Melbourne but im assuming that'll be a one off.
 
West Coast are probably better for mine. In many ways they have the runs on the board from last season whereas Essendon would probably be happy if they equal West Coast's performance from last year. Its not impossible for Essendon to overtake, but at the moment West Coast.

In a final, even in Melbourne I would expect West Coast to win easily.

I'd say West Coast by a relatively small margin; but the above statement is bizarre - West Coast aren't travelling particularly well; Essendon would start warm favourites here.
 
WC are playing pretty much a reserves forward line and still sitting above us on the ladder, If Essendon were to lose Hurley, Crameri and Davey we wouldn't be travelling as well.

So in short, WC are the better team.
 
I think West Coast at their best is maybe better. But I think Essendon are still a top team who will be up there for a couple more years to come!

Not so bizarre. I just dont think Essendon are as good as you think they are.

In a final with both in top form and equal determination and WC with a forward line again I would expect a safe few goal win to WC.
 
WCE will probably finish higher & go further, but...

What, because they've beaten us in Melbourne about 3 times in their history?
Easiest game to tip... goes on home form almost every time.

I don't know why we're ignoring what happened 4-5 weeks ago.

I dont expect Melbourne to take out Essendon in a final either. I Dont place a high value on home and away games come finals.

I expect a team not to be jumped on an off day like Essendon did to WC and Melbourne did to Essendon.

We're not talking about a side that has a stellar finals records to give us a pointer.
This current WCE lineup have won 1/3, we've won 0/1, we've similar records this year and we smashed them from pillar to post 4 weeks ago.
I'd go in pretty confident.

I would not be anywhere near as confident against even a side like Geelong or Hawthorn, let alone Collingwood
 
West Coast beating Essendon in a final?
