There will be a lot of emotion in this game after the loss of Phil Walsh.
Not only was he Adelaide's coach,he was also an ex coach for West Coast.
Not much to say about this match,honestly could go either way because we know emotions can do some extraordinary things.

I will be at the match having bought tickets for it at the beginning of the season,I have seen a post on a West Coast Supporters page on Facebook asking everyone that attends the match to cheer the Crows when they run onto the ground rather than booing them as per what normally happens when the opposition runs on.I honestly hope everyone does give them a big cheer,although there will still likely be the morons that won't.

This is either going to go one or two ways. We'll come out all guns blazing or the players will still be too deflated. Not too fussed about the result, just hope the boys do the best they can.

Like Tom not to fussed about the result. Footy i hope will be good for the boys, something else to think about.
This game and the next will be emotional ones no doubt.

PLAYERS from West Coast and Adelaide may run out through a special joint banner before Saturday night’s emotion-charged match at Subiaco Oval.

The grieving Crows will play for the first time since the death of coach Phil Walsh when they take on the Eagles in Perth.

It will be a significant occasion for both clubs, with Walsh having also spent five years as an assistant coach at West Coast from 2009-2013.

Both clubs and the AFL are in discussions about how to best commemorate and honour Walsh at Saturday night’s fixture and a series of measures will be announced later in the week.

It is understood the cheer squads of both clubs may join forces to create one banner in a unique show of unity.

Players from Essendon and Collingwood have previously run through a joint banner before their traditional Anzac Day clashes at the MCG.

While a joint banner is under consideration, another option is to have no banners at all.

A West Coast spokesman said no decision had been made yet regarding banners or other commemorative measures.

The Eagles and Crows players may also link arms to reflect in silence in the centre of the ground, as happened following seven matches last weekend, either before or after Saturday night’s match.

West Coast could cancel some of its normal game-day fan activities to reflect the sombre mood.

Our run home is tough, so hoping we can get the 4 points while showing class and respect

Pretty much this

A full strength Crows (mentally) I'd probably back in

A full strength eagles mentally, emotionally,  physically and spiritually will be way to good for a full strength Adelaide mentally, emotionally and physically and spiritually.

Seriously we don't even look like we are trying
Defenders are get letting Crows forwards do whatever the hell they want.
