And hopefully we'll have Prestia, Edwards, Astbury, Grimes.
Are the Eagles still the biggest flat track bullies?

Thought Richmond played their best game for the year, were really up and about. Anything can happen if they meet again in Sept. Wasn't a lot in it tonight, we kicked very accurately and just had a bit much energy all over the park.

Hopefully 3 matches in Qld and the final game in Perth against NM.
But you're right that 3 wins out of those 4 is the bare minimum to finish top 4.
I'll be hoping the Dogs can beat the Cats and the Cats can beat the Tigers.

We should beat NM and probably Essendon (though no guarantees, of course). Bulldogs and Saints both tricky games.

Really we could lose to any of Essendon, Bulldogs and St Kilda. I'd be surprised if we didn't. So we need Geelong to inflict another loss on Richmond. Or we need Geelong to lose to Richmond and one more.

Of course we could, but I'm a little more bullish after last night. Richmond played very good footy and it was a closer game than 27 points suggests. It could have also blown out, but the Eagles kept coming at them, only had two less scoring shots, coming off a short break and travelling across the country, missing JK, Yeo and Redden, who are all pretty key. I would back us to win two of those three if we played similar to last night night and possibly all three.
anyone find it strange the head is sacrosanct unless you’re going for a mark or spoil you can literally knee someone at full speed in the head?
Surely a duty of care needs to be taken

I see your point, but to be fair the last thing I want to be doing during a game of footy is sitting at my laptop reading and posting about a game of footy.
Leave that to the screenagers.
The head is not sacrosanct in AFL. Head high contact is rife in the game. The AFL unfortunately have convinced you that it is the guy with the ball who is causing it.
Fair dinkum joke it is.

Day Off from BigFooty
I know right? Eagles fans were proved yet again, how their team are flat trackers. (and supporters flat Earthers) Yet here you all are at it again still at full blown hero status, and... Making excuses again.... Yes it is very embarrassing.
for the reasonable few of you. I'm just glad one of your own finally had the courage to bring it out into the open. Maybe the beginning of some humility for the WCE fans.

If a players objective is the ball and the player has eyes for the ball and the knee head/body contact is incidental then that has always been part of the game within reason.
The Kennedy Richmond defender one probably gets a pass because Kennedy led the player under the ball and turned to run onto it so there is a strong case for it being accidental even though the Richmond player was totally out played in that instance and his attempt to mark was more ridiculous than realistic .

None of the Essendon, Bulldogs, or St Kilda games are gimmes. Difficult road ahead for the eagles.

Essendon are the Glenn Maxwell of the AFL. Get bowled by leaving a straight full delivery on the stumps, but make 100 on a spinning deck in India.
Overall, not great.

WC 2020:
7-0 in Perth, 4-5 away from Perth.
Under normal circumstances without a run of home games, two runs of away games, one run of compressed schedule etc. we aren't far off where you'd expect us to be.
Wins away have been Essendon, Adelaide, St Kilda and Sydney. Losses Gold Coast, Brisbane, Richmond, WB and Port. With the same 16 games split 7-9 rotating home and away on a weekly basis I'd expect us to be on around 11 or 12 wins with our current team.

The GC and Bulldogs losses sting the nostrils.
I don't care how much the Suns have improved this year, we didn't turn up for that game.
