For sure. Hopefully they still have some run in their legs after destroying Collingwood last week. They have a chance; I just hope they take it.

They took the last quarter easy so have had a bit of a rest.

I watched the Doggies beat Adelaide (granted it was at the MCG) but they had the run and the defence to pounce on errors that hurt more than Adelaide could muster.

Not beyond the Doggies, but they have to be in front or close at half time to be a sure chance.

Bullies not playing very well at all the moment. No help from the umpires though. The Eagles can rip someones head off or hipand shoulder someone in the head and it's 'play-on'
If it happens to the bullies, the whistle is in the mouth in an instant.
It's just rediculous!!
Doggies really have to get their running game happening. They have done it once, and that time they kicked a goal out of it!!

West Coast much too good. The bullies are crying out for a tall marking target up forward. The can't rely Johnson all of the time.

Bulldogs were never a chance. So they beat them earlier in the year. WCE always had too much for them to handle... especially in Perth.

Should be interesting next week, but I'm tipping an All-WA GF.

They might've if he could get anywhere near the ball. What was it? 29 or 30 inside 50's for the Dogs?

No doubt. But one of the reasons for this is a break down at CHF. they had no traget to kick to, get to the middle of the ground and chip it around until it turned over. They were also bombing it down there a fair bit, but they had no decent talls to take a contested mark.

WC has Lynch and Hunter who provided them with tall targets. Hansen across CHF was also pretty good.

That pretty much sums it up.

West Coast were good though.
