Win this one and we're assured of a top two finish as Swans will be a game plus percentage behind us and they've only got one game left after this weekend...plus we'd want to go into the finals with winning momentum. If we do get over the Tiges, it would be a good opportunity to rest a couple of senior guys like Rumba, Horse and Clanger before finals to freshen them up. Stockley to come back in but think Dela is still a week or two away. It should be cracking game as Claremont have been in good form....Subi by 15 points.

I'm kind of glad CL aren't in the finals. Might have caused some problems had they got there with the form they are in. Knocked off us last time, and have since beaten SD twice and EF. Hopefully we can get the win and wrap top two.

This game worries me more than the game against EP. Claremont and ourselves are the two form teams, as you said we need to win to keep Swans away.

A good thing from last week is EP have been knocked out of contention in the reserves and colts. More likely to have three home finals now.

Claremont are a far different proposition than when we gave them a shellacking early in the year down at Shark park. They beat us down on the showgrounds paddock, and have improved since then. Their midfield is really cranking and getting great service from Seaby plus they have dangerous forwards.

We will need to be at our best to get over them, but that's the sort of hard fought games we need heading into the finals. Should be a fine day so if Stocks is back along with McDougal and Clanger, we may be able to stretch them with height. I think if we can half the midfield contests and our backline, which is the best in the league, continue in that form we should be able to restrict their forwards sufficiently to get the result.

Hopefully there is some torn & ripped petticoats come 5pm Saturday arvo, hey Jimmy / Andy ?...

Nah, EP and WP colts are in the box seat to finish 4th. They play Perth, Peel and Claremont to finish.

We have the tougher road home against CL, SF and EF.

We must beat one of CL or SF to give ourselves a chance. Otherwise we have to hope that Perth and Peel can cause an upset or two.

Ben, I see Stockley back in the league list, important when we are coming up against the form ruckman in the comp in Seaby, if we can negate his effectiveness that goes a long way to reducing the impact of their very strong mids.

Fantastic to see Robbie Forrest listed, but would expect him to have a run in the 2's first up.

Should be a high quality game with fine conditions forecast as these 2 teams are pretty much the form teams of the comp at the moment.

I reckon Bestry was a bit stiff....

Yeah agree he's got a heap of potential might even have a few AFL clubs looking at him, talls with his skills at his age are thin on the ground but with Stocks, McDougal and Clanger already in the team we need to be carefull not to go in top heavy against a super quick side like Claremont.

Great that young Jackson has got another run, thought he showed a bit first up and shapes as an ideal replacement for when Rumba decides to hang up the boots.
One of the better lists we had for a while with players starting to come back but we will have to be switched on against this mob, they are travelling pretty well at the minute.
