TOPIC:

A new week and a new challenge.  Hopefully the luminaries on here will finally accept that we do have danger games and this is certainly one after losing our last 2 and Perth getting a host of players back.  Surely Golding will get a crack as mentioned several times on the other thread and Wardman will give him a few games to acclimatise if he needs it.  Our forward line has been very one dimensional in recent weeks in that Sokol has been the main focal point which opposition teams pick up on very quickly by double teaming him.  Nick Martin, Faraone, Matera x 2 need to start hitting the score board again to share the work load.  I'm also not sure Braut has been a resounding success but given our backline is pretty settled, maybe give it another week.  I'd also like to see big Jacob Atkinson brought into the midfield for his size and pace.  A couple in's for mine from the ressies plus Haydn Kennedy with maybe Will Hickmott and Fullgrabe to miss.  Subi by a couple with not a lot of confidence as I'm getting an uneasy sense from the club in general with young players moving elsewhere.

it looks like we might have lost the round just cancelled so that makes just 7 more to go and that isn't certain either
makes this week pretty interesting everywhere
 

Yes mate. With the top 5 looking pretty well locked in it makes this week's games critical especially you blokes against Claremont. I wouldn't like to pick the final order of the top 5 as it's going to be very close.

No certainty last week’s game won’t be rescheduled. I hope it still will be 

Claremont 
South
Subi
Swans
Perth
———-
That will be the 5

Where are you getting that from? Everything I have read points to last round being played as the last round and the GF being played the same weekend as the AFL GF which is the 25th of September and that is the Queens Birthday long weekend here so the WAFL GF could be played Sunday or Monday.

Yes thats what I have seen too DD. The only other doubt is whether West Coast can field a team against Swans on Saturday, What an opportunity for the WAFL to showcase a Grand Final at Optus on the Sunday of a long weekend. I would attend no matter who is playing just for the occasion. Now lets hope there are no more COVID related delays.

42 has picked up that the WAFC is saying there's only going to be 3 weekends of finals including the GF which suggests we're back to a top 4. I've not seen it written anywhere but it looks that way based on the finals schedule.

Hate to tell you but Perth the cue in the rack a couple of weeks ago.
With insipid pathetic performances.
No chance of beating Subi this week with all their full time footballers.
And certainly no chance of playing finals.
Winning another game would simply be a bonus.

WAFC is holding off on rescheduling the round dependant on CV or more restrictions - the AFL side is another issue dependant on fixturing changes & hubs

I tell you what if that’s the case Mossy better get the cue off the rack and start whacking a few blokes with it. Insipid performances are unacceptable.
