West Coast 2018 Season Discussion Thread

The duty of care is with the tackler, just because Amon is significantly smaller than Nic Nat doesn't mean that he can ragdoll him. Nic Nat did drive his head forwards into the turf, not giving Amon a chance to protect himself.

That being said, I don't think he should miss a week, a free kick and probably a 50m penalty would have been a suitable punishment.

Watched the footage and to be honest seen a worse incident at the Gabba that was not even mentioned in reports.

So best wishes to the club for their appeal which in my opinion they must do.

Should get your 10K refunded if the charges are dropped.

I may be mistaken but I thought that was the case?

I'm not sure, as I typed it I also thought it was a possibility? Anyone know for sure?

Timed my trip perfectly

Top of the table clash vs the reigning premiers

Not a bad first game in Perth to go to 8)

For sure! My mother in law managed to get tickets, $80 a pop, but will be worth it when we take top spot!

So keeeen haha. If we win on Sunday the lid will begin to loosen :P

Eagles are a class above in Perth and despite the Tiges form im tipping the Eagles, if this game was at the G ofc it would be different but you guys with the list and 22 you are putting out should only get stronger

Why are West Coast playing Hawthorn at Etihad this week when there is no game at the MCG? How can WCE back up their credentials as flag favourites if they don't get to play on the MCG when they have the chance?
