West Coast 2018 Season Discussion Thread

Robert Walls just named us as the team most likely to play in the Grand Final.

Man that guy is such a flog

People still acknowledge his existence?

Team goes 9-1 and he makes that huge call - pure genius

takes a big man to admit they're wrong! ;)

NicNat, as I wrote above ... the difference maker ...  ;)

Been doing better this year than I could have expected, interested to see if they can sustain this form going forward. Couple of pretty exciting young players too.

Encouraging article to read

If we can somehow secure all of Gaff, Gov and Slice I'd be stoked

Richmond vs West Coast grand final is pretty much a lock. you guys just gotta figure out how to beat Richmond at the G

I wish it was a lock, but too early to call

We now have Darling, JJK and Barass out - that's 3/5 of our spine - massive outs

Sydney can't be discounted too, and Geelong are erratic and capable of anything on any given day

lol

Think Bombers and Crows are prob the best games for those guys to miss, just hope they're all back before the GWS game!

[Bill Manspeaker]

West Coast and Richmond will finish 1 and 2 and I don't see anyone beating Richmond at the G or West Coast at Optus in their finals. it's donezo

[Bill Manspeaker]

you can thank me later Bombers fans

I’ll thank you now, gave me a good laugh before but this is even better...if we can hold on

still don't think they'll lose a final over there though

Not too worried about the actual loss, every year the top teams get rolled in a game they're expected to win

Our forward line though is a big concern. I can't remember the last time a team had their two forwards out at the same time, and it's clearly very difficult to cover such a loss

We looked horrible forward of ground and I don't know what we can do, the next couple of weeks are going to be difficult

If we can somehow get Barrass back next week then we can play Gov forward. McInnes and Lycett aren't good enough to play full time forward so we need Gov there until JJK returns or we're going to be in trouble especially with Adelaide in Adelaide, GWS and Collingwood coming up

Fair and honest assessment RD. Inside 50 count was 59 - 45 in favour of Eagles so that really is a damning stat when you were outclassed and coupled with woeful kicking for goal.
