Game Day Round 5, 2024: West Coast vs Richmond

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Let's not embarrass ourselves is a more realistic game day post. Don't mind this one.

Just a warning re: Public Transport especially if you missed the 1st home game of the season.

(The changes have been poorly communicated by TransPerth)

The 661 CBD shuttle doesn't exist any more.

They expect you to use a Red Cat that will drop you on the western side of the Matagarup Bridge & then walk over (not at the bus station like the previous service).

The buses from Mirrabooka & Morley also drop off at the same spot.

Meaning issues for those with mobility issues or on the days why the heavens open up.

Happy to see the club mention the changes in their event day info after my suggestion as many people were waiting on the Terrace before the 1st home game unaware of the change.

Also, when leaving the ground the bus stop for the 650 to Karrinyup is at the end CLOSEST to the stadium, not the far end as it has been for the last few years. I was on autopilot and got caught-out last time.

REALLY hoping we can win but gonna tip Tigers by 17.

If we can beat last week's score of 78 and kick our highest score of the season then we are a really good chance!

Hope the midfield is on

No excuses today.

Should win.

 

[Keys]

Doubts over either Maric or Edwards?

 

[Shuestar13]

Possibly Duggan according to Channel 7 last night.

Big game. Important game. Need to take a step forward today

 

[Cuzz09]

Duggan for Witherden
Rawlison for Maric

Maybe just maybe we are playing smart this week and going to go in a little shorter and with pace?

Who captain's with no Duggan?

If Adelaide can do it then so can we!

Yeah they changed some of the bus station layout.

Not sure why... maybe because the Armadale line is closed so more buses involved?

Adelaide have been pretty competitive despite losing.

We are slowly improving though.

I was thinking during the week that we are getting enough history, Premierships, finals, etc that we could start thinking about having a club museum.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Reckon there’s an even money chance we aren’t bottom of the ladder tonight, even if we lose. North are going to get smoked, and we should be reasonably close.

We are the Chelsea of the AFL at the moment

Flip flopping between “holy **** boys were winning this” and “we’ve gone in so much taller, they’re going to absolutely run us ragged”.

What a day.

Papps is 6PR

If I’m in the car I usually go to ABC

No ads and the focus is normally on the game without all the irrelevant blokey bullshit

I always go ABC - commercial radio always try & perform and be the stars themselves instead of just calling the game.

 

[Barrybran]

Can we win? Absolutely.

Should we win? Possibly, yes. Richmond's injury list is potentially worse than ours.

Will we win? I don't know. Richmond have played quite well this season. If we play like we did against Sydney, I think we break through. But if we turn the ball over with poor execution, the likes of Bolton and Rioli x 2 should tear us to pieces.

Richmond are still heavy favourites, which I think flatters them. It should be an even contest.

Harley by three fend offs.
