1 down

2 to go

And now sanity prevails with the MRP and the big fella is rightfully cleared

I thought we had Mitchell for 4 years

All the talk over here is that he is heading back to Victoria at the end of this season :(

Good riddance, stupid flog.

Haha nah shame, seems his family love being uprooted!

I thought half the reason Mitchell went over there was to take up a coaching role at West Coast after he retired?

[elephants]

Yeah he has been midfield coach this year but it seems higher level opportunities beckon in Vic. Probably as a senior assistant at a struggler like Carlton.

Simmo will coach us for the next 30 years <3

Some West Coast supporters, I have always been a Simmo fan. Hard not to be when the bloke coached us to a GF in his second season!

Not panic stations by any means but that was a pathetic performance

1 goal in the entire 2nd half. Makes sense when for the entire flowering game all we did was bomb it into the 50 to a pack every single bloody time

Defence was under siege all day - boys down back did the best they could but our play in the forward half was the worst I've seen in a long time and that's because our mids got absolutely smashed

[elephants]

We missed Jetta

[Ringo]

Shuey for you was a big late out. Think Gaff feeds off him and gives you a lot of run.

[elephants]

Well we lost our best ruck, 2nd best mid, 2nd best fwd and arguably most important player in transition from D50 to F50 in Jetta. Blundstone Arena isn't a venue conducive to our playing style, thank flower a final will never be played there haha.

Haha, true

I thought Vardy struggled forward too. So often we kept just bombing it into a pack because Vardy and Jack were near each other - they weren't spreading and giving each other space like Jack and JK usually do

Like I said, not too worried, but we were comprehensively beaten. Just frustrated as if we won we'd have locked up a Top 2 spot essentially.

Freo looked cooked today, so let's hope the boys bounce back next week with a big win

Is that the end for Gaff in the yellow and blue?  :'(

Surely if Cotchin gets to play the grand final they only suspend Gaff for 4-5 weeks.
