Round 16 - And Then There Were 11
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Wed, 2017-07-05 16:39
Looking at the ladder we have 2 teams outside of the 8 by 1 game and another 4 teams outside by 2 games but the percentage of Gold Coast, Hawks and Freo basically puts them 3 games out unless they can start winning all their games by 10+ goals from here on in. I have 11 who have a realistic shot at making the 8 and have West Coast finishing around 6th or 7th from here. Huge game for my boys on Sunday with a swag of players coming back into contention for selection.
Of most interest is the Bulldogs and you have to go all the way to 1999 for the last time a team in Adelaide didn't make the finals the year after winning a flag and it doesn't get any easier for them play Radelaide at home on Friday night.
Interesting to read in the news that the GOAT Tyrone Vickery has been arrested for (alleged) extortion. Word on the street is that Jake King (allegedly) kidnapped Clarko's prized budgie and threatened to bore it to death talking about how many push ups he can do if he didn't give the big fella a run in the seniors.

I see you're a glass half full kinda bloke Raffy. I suppose if my team were to steal 4 points from the 17th placed basketcase Kangas imploding I'd be a little bit cocky too

Dockers certainly not favourites to beat a side looking at finishing 6th or 7th.

Well that's pretty embarrassing for us Eagles diehard supporters
Don't think they belong in the top 8 the way they are travelling. Just saw the ladder and they're 9th, which is where they deserve to be!

Probably a bit from each
Probably a bit from each category Brock but Port were unstoppable in the final quarter and tore us to pieces with pace and excellent ball use through the guts in that final quarter.
Priddis had 19 touches with a DE of 47% and may as well have been wearing a Port Adelaide jumper. Sam Mitchell wasn't much better by foot either.
One thing that I notice about West Coast that shits me to tears is that we rarely block or shepherd for each other and are always rushed to dispose the ball. It's footy 1.01 that if you handball to your team mateyou run in behind him and take out the guy chasing him. There was a play yesterday where Duggan ran down the wing being chased and looked behind and saw an Eagles player running with him so took a bounce and looked again and had to rush his kick because our player failed to put any kind of body impact on the Port player. Laying a good hip and shoulder was one of my favourite parts of playing footy! That was until I tried to bump a shearer nicknamed 'House' that played for Dowerin...

Looks like Suma (or cabbage head as the old man calls him) is the front runner for the Pies coaching job next year. That'd make 3 West Coast premiership legends in charge of an AFL club.

I know the prospect of a WCE
I know the prospect of a WCE player leading the Pies is a hard pill to swallow. If you think about it for a sec you should thank us for giving you a coach capable of actually winning a flag. To be fair though Mick was up against a coach that doesn't know how to coach a team to a flag so even Buck's would have had a crack at it in 2010.

I reckon Guy McKenna as a former assistant there would have to be the frontrunner for the Pies job once Bucks gets the arse. If Suma can get the Gold Coast gig that'd make 4 West Coast premiership legends in charge of AFL clubs.
Nathan Buckley as a player and a coach is the human equivalent of Freo. Doesn't know what a flag is, doesn't know how how to get one.

Give it a few weeks and there may be a head coach option down at WC .. then again after he was overlooked initially he may just give em the finger .

If McNugget stays across
If McNugget stays across half back there's a good chance we'll just kick it to him all game .. unless someone leads and we kick it sort of near them this time . If Harry Butler is fit we could be in strife as I think Hamling will be out
