AFL Round 14: West Coast v Essendon Thursday 6:10pm AWST @ OS

[Mootsy]

Back on track? I wouldn't say they ever fell off the track.

They lost after 10 games in a row. They win this, they go first.

Ahh well, i tried. i truly did.
but yes, you're right.

 

[ItsGameTime]

Undermanned but with Margetts and his buddy Dalgleish as the 23rd and 24th men should see WC home.

Watch the free kick count be high tonight. Probably something like 29-15.

I expect Margetts and Dalgleish will do the same on Sunday though.

Noise of affirmation

 

[Lance Uppercut]

BOOOOOOOOOO

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

BOOOOOOOOOO

“Messages on hold”

 

[Beerfish]

I reckon Natanui & Lycett will rotate deep.

I just hope they're kind enough to lube up.

Essendons good is very good and if they bring that I am very concerned about this game. Who will kick our goals is anyones guess but I think we will get enough of the ball forward to hit the scoreboard.
Eagles by 9 without much confidence.

Le Cras will probably bob up with a bag again as we leave him unmanned to guard a bit of grass that he will just avoid for all the other bits of grass.

Relax. You've got this.

You are being more pessimistic than me haha

It's also going to be wet so watch us try to overuse the short handball, fumbling often and getting pressured into incorrect disposal which will all of a sudden be called a lot more than 'spilled out of the tackle play on'.

pretty good chance the rain will miss. Threatened about an hour ago and now it looks ok and is very still.

It's currently drizzling in South Perth. Even if it's not raining it's going to be wet and slippery.

I'm worried about McKernan giving away his quota of stupid free kicks that lead to a West Coast goal.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Interesting to watch McInnes play. Seems to have been deep in the WAFL for a long time. Iguess he must be intended as a tall forward with Nic Nat and/ or Lycett helping out at times. Nic Nat must be building up the match fitness to increase his TOG by now.

Ryan and Rioli could potentially break out and kick a bag.

Always love watching MCGovern play. His brilliant reading of the play, and turning up in the right places. Also the cunning way he finds time for bit of a break after raising an effort. I'll swear I saw him fall over deliberately after a great spoil against the Swans, just to catch a few breaths on the ground.

Bombers have them tide running hard against them. Eagles by 40.

If our coaching box is any smart they will tell the team to not bomb the ball forward so McGovern cant intercept.

Excited for this one! Feel like Essendon can pull this game through by 14 points.

We played them three times last year and once so far this year. That's been my biggest hope before each game. He's awesome to watch as a neutral though, better live where you can see his positional play.

I'm actually more worried about Nic Nat

[SilentHunter_]

No Darling and No Kennedy. Bombers in with a shout.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

I think Essendon will get up here. West Coast is cooked without Darling and Kennedy. Lean times ahead.

 

[Billy ray]

Hope its all over by 3/4 time when socceroos starts

 

[Sweetback]

There’ll be a bit of attention on the how the umps officiate tonight. Might work in the Dons’ favour.

 

[JayJ20]

All the talk about Darling and Kennedy, but we don't have Daniher, Zaharakis, Parish or Ambrose. It's not like we're full strength either.

I think Eagles will get the job done in Perth.

Ah the good ol' "we didn't adapt to the conditions as well as [insert opposition]"
