I suspect EP will go into 3rd spot and get a home final there. Be a pity if the oval is still like a cow paddock for a Final. Hopefully looking at the forecast the next couple of weeks will see a lot of sun and at least dry it out?
Joondalup is in good nick so if we lose to CLA pretty sure we will get a game up at Joondalup. Correct me if I am wrong. All the best to all teams competing this week and may the best man win.

Correct Cardy: the preliminary final will be at the loser of the 2nd semi home ground.

Leederville Oval is the antithesis of the centre of excellence.

Extended side for Saturdays game... No VB? He told me definitely back for this game. Looks like another week? Will have a look at sides submitted to WAFL Site tonight as could be fitness tests at Training tonight.

Suspect if Keunen,Van Berlo,Rassa,Teddy still have Niggles Bill will give them another week off or we could find a couple of them getting a run in the Ressies as Bill said in his interview above. We will wait and see. The game will not have any influence on our Ladder position..

No Chris Keunen as well? Shoulder could still be playing up?

And Yes I know there is a spot open in forward line!

So injuries still our are Pettigrew hamstring,Slick shoulder reconstruction (season), Chris Keunen - shoulder?
Teddy Calf 1 week or 2, VB ? was 2 weeks Knee obviously still a problem? Jones back in, Rasmussen cork 1 week?
WPFC havent done a injury update since 16 Aug so waiting for that to determine injuries.

Final sides WP and SD.. Chris is in..VB is in.. Looks good.. click on pic for better view

I think we can rest assured that this game will be better than the last one between these two sides in June. Neither side played particularly well that day and in fact Harding described Swans performance as " a stinker"

Swans only laid 30 tackles all day, which is about half the average and apparently two players laid nearly half of these!

I'm hoping not but there may be a few anxious Swans fans checking for around the grounds scores around 4.30pm!

Agree mate IPODS will be running hot.. Honestly think EF will beat CLA and if they dont they dont deserve to be there anyway....Subi who knows.. Smith back but can see Subi wanting to go out on a big note... Well they did beat CLA.
WP going in full strength looking at above.. and to be TRUE FINALS contenders must prove they can beat SD...

RIP SD if they dont win this one...

Great finish to our last season as the TRUE WAFL....2013 will be remembered as a great year.

Agree. It would be great if West Perth could win the 2nd semi, would throw the whole premiership race wide open. They can be beaten on their home ground if they are given no space and time. Easier said than done I suppose

East Frem don't have a hope in hell of beating Claremont IMO going on what I saw Saturday

yeah true SD.....I just hope EF get a tad closer to Cl than what SD did a few weeks back.....

......actually I reckon Webby is hoping SD get thru to the finals on what he saw of them last time they met......how anyone can go on the record and blatantly say his side is the only thing between Cl and a flag, after his side got reamed by 60 points..... must be truly F.I.T.H

To be fair SD we played poorly all day bar a patch in the 3rd qtr. To go down by only 23pts probably tells me something else.

yes, it tells you Swans couldnt kick straight.
