Claremont beat West Perth so under your criteria they could say they are the 2nd best team.

Didn't the same side beat Swans a few weeks back too

they certainly did, though i wouldnt think Claremont supporters would see themselves as the 2nd best side in the comp at this stage of the season.

Yep that analogy never works; 17th Brisbane beat 7th Roos, Roos then beat 1st Hawks, Lions lose to 16th Tigers.

Omly way to decribe that, " A week is a longetime in football "

Much to agree with on several posts here..
Yes consistancy does make a team a finals contender and yes West Perth have been beaten by sides they should have taken the points from.

But I have to agree that on their day not unlike KIRBS comment, teams can lift and do the unexpected.

West Perth this year has been their 'own worst enemy' in almost every game they have played except for the 100 point smashing of the Eagles Reserves.
I too believe they can take the points against the Eagles R's - and they should be doing it to many others... just tiring to see them self implode continually.

So I agree - send the best to Geelong and take the $, that in itself rubs salt into Feral wounds
Turn around and play the wankers on the Sat (short week) and take them to task!!
We can do it - just play as a TEAM
