TOPIC:

Great looking team on paper. A team that should be able to win against most teams. Potentially the best back 6 in the competition. But the team needs to kick bloody goals. And lots of them. 

You’re every chance in this game.If we play 4 quarters the streak on your home ground should continue.If we don’t you guys have enough ability to win.Should be a really interesting game.

Avery, Cachard, Cary and Clark the bench. Scoble makes way for Avery.

I say again, I am very surprised that Cary is named. Yes, our forward line has been our weakness. But I would rather have Stubbs or Q than Cary. Cooley is not named in reserves, but is a league emergency - perhaps he will play reserves once it is confirmed he is not needed? As much as his form has dropped off, I would have thought he's a better player than Kemp or Clark. Despite the return of Constable, Simpson and Avery, I think we will struggle. Those guys will be underdone, and WP always do a number on us with run and spread. 

Agreed Ted, Cooley unlucky to be dropped if that is the case. A bit strange he is not named in the reserves 
however, which makes you think he is being held over for another day. Maybe Constable is not quite ready who knows. I thought perhaps Schlensog may have been in doubt. He was hobbling around last week in the last 3 quarters. If that was the case then surely Scoble would have to play. Cary in for Stubbs and the selection of Howard are certainly surprise inclusions.

Have you guys been to the games? Stubbs has kicked 1 goal in the last 3 matches since his Michelle Phifer against EF. Had a good cameo in the last qtr against WCER when moved into the centre in the last qtr but hasn’t had much impact since. His kicking was diabolical last week. Cary took 7 marks and kicked two good set shot goals last week in tricky conditions. We need to find goal kickers. A shame Harry can’t kick straight.

Schlensog got a cork last week from his teammate Johnno. That’s why he went forward. 

Cooley’s a turnover king. Fk him off completely. 

Howard is a role player. Who do you reckon he’ll get sent to? He’s got elite speed and is as tough as nuts. Pity we can’t delist supporters.

From Code Sports “Teams averaged almost 96 points per game (16 goals) against Perth last season.In 2024, that’s dropped to just 79.6 points per game, almost three goals per game less.Subiaco is giving up only 1.8 points per game less and Swan Districts only 7.7 points per game fewer”

Defence sorted. Now to kick some goals.

35 point loss coming up. 

Neither Simpson or Constable were dominating prior to their injuries - both will struggle today - Howard didn't seem a standout in the Ressies last week.

Sorry.

That seems a strange take, TFAF, CC had 34, 30 and 28 disposals in his 3 games. Simpson didn't get as much of the ball, but has the sort of class a lot of our players lack and can kick a goal. They will be underdone, and I agree we will lose because we simply don't run hard enough to match a team like WP, but having those players back will lift the team. 

I didn't realise CC had that many possessions in the three he played.
