It won't be anywhere near 109 pts this time as much as we would like it to be. The Eagles have been more competitive over the past fortnight with most of their senior players back fit. We just need to make sure we put Saturday's loss behind us and deliver a professional effort to get the win. Winning the game is all that matters for us right now.

Back at the G. NicNat returning so I'd play Soldo.
Should be a 50+ belting

Danger game

Danger game
We are 9th. Every game is a danger game.

West Coast Eagles hunting redemption against Richmond Tigers after triple-figure loss at Optus Stadium.

Looks the like the West Australian is going to run the same headline every day this week.

Richmond by 40+

As @WestCoastEagles coach Adam Simpson declared on @7NewsPerthlast night:
Naitanui is in against Richmond.
McGovern still sore - club will monitor once he starts running - not ruled out for the season just yet.
Dom Sheed will have more scans this week, season in balance.

Richmond v West Coast Preview
Nic Negrepontis
SEN
29 June 2022
Coming off a big confidence boosting win, West Coast will now take on Richmond at the MCG.
The Eagles are getting soldiers back and starting to resemble a competent AFL side.
Is it enough to beat Richmond though? The Tigers have lost a few players to injury, but are playing their best brand of footy at the present time.
They went down to Geelong in a tight contest that could have gone either way last week and if they play to that level on the MCG, Richmond will be too strong for West Coast.
When the two sides met in Round 7, the Tigers won by 109 points in one of the routs of the season.
Tom Lynch kicked 7.5, Jack Riewoldt kicked four and Richmond did as they pleased.
You would imagine the Eagles will put up somewhat more of a challenge this time around.
Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling are in good form and the West Coast midfield is closing in on full strength, the question will be whether the backline can hold up.
Given all the factors, it’s impossible to tip the Eagles, but they will be competitive.
Tip: Richmond by 40 points.

Hmmm danger game.
NicNat back, Kennedy coming off a good game. No Balta, Gibcus looking tired, Prestia out, still no Cotchin.
Plenty of reasons to be nervous.

a question on match day entry;
Can GA memberships use just the members card for entry, or is a ticketek prebooking required?

Had a feeling Dimma would go back to the well. Interesting to see where this lands tomorrow

Lambert, Stack and even Mansell would be preferable.

No Josh Kennedy for the Eagles. Being "managed".

Good. We’ll keep that memory alive on Sunday.
-

Mansell was v good last week. Deserves another shot. Perhaps with Kennedy out they give Gibcus a rest and play Mansell instead?
Reckon Soldo might be in trouble although perhaps with Nic Nat back he gets another crack.
That’s 4 changes, I might have a case of Clawitidus?

Opened this thread saying , please no Castagna or Aarts

I’m open to both getting game - both played well v the Cats. I’m hopeful that Stack gets Juddy’s spot - he looked great vs the Cats. Georgie looks ready, Aarts less so. Sorry, but there were quite a few passengers last week and that’s why we have the 2’s!
-
We have gone past George and Aarts simple asthat even.if they play well in vfl.

Hate to say but your right about Castagna as much as I’m over him I’m sure the selection committee loved his pressure and tackling in the VFL.
Let’s face it that’s the dna of our game especially in the forward 50.
Looking forward to seeing Stack play and hoping he can fulfil his potential.
-
Not sure why Cumberland doesn’t get a mention
-
Please for the love of god it’s gotta be stack. Castagna has already peaked and if anything he’s on the decline. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable assumption that we are yet to see the best of stack.

I'll be furious if they bring in Aarts and/or Castagna and drop Ralphsmith.

Not happy with the in's. But a 3 time premiership coach is not a dimwit and has deserved the right to be trusted no matter how much those of us not in the inasanctum protest.

Of all the players we have we turn to a player that has failed us so many times.
-
I am not a Castagna fan. But he's been there in big games and won us 3 flags. For us to win this year I believe we need Castagna to get back to close to his best. I'm ok with him coming into get some form against Eagles hopefully.
I would have rathered Stack or Noah but I totally get the match committee going what's best case scenario for a premiership and it's getting Castagna into form over hoping one of the others comes up to the mark.
-
If Lambert isn't the sub then Dimma will probably go for Aarts as well :P.
Stack very stiff. His last two weeks in the VFL have been excellent.

Castagna won us three flags???
My goodness
So we couldn’t have won without him ??
I’d even argue if you said Dusty won us three flags .. but Castagna ??? LMAO
-
As I said I don't bother even trying to make sense of the selection calls anymore
Just think to myself "whatever"

The plane the Eagles were on had a midflight engine failure. They had to drop from 35k feet to 17k.

THE CERTAINTIES OF ROUND 16 --- Richmond v West Coast
Jack Makeham
SEN
2 July 2022
Richmond to score 100+ points
Despite last week’s narrow loss to Geelong, right now the Tigers are playing some of their best footy all year.
Currently the third-highest scoring side in the competition, Richmond is averaging 13.9 goals a game.
On the other hand, West Coast are the worst defensive team in football, with opponents kicking over 16 goals per game against them.
This is the perfect storm for Richmond to run rampant at the MCG.
When these teams last met in Round 7, Tom Lynch kicked seven goals in a 165-56 thrashing.
The Eagles are a better team than they were at the time, but it won’t be enough to stop the Tigers from piling on a score.
Hurn to have 15+ disposals and 6+ marks
The veteran Eagle still has some flight left in him.
During West Coast’s nightmare season, Hurn has been consistent down back, doing his best to stabilise a flimsy Eagles defence.
This has led to the former skipper averaging a tick over 21 possessions a game to go along with 7.5 marks.
Richmond’s play style is likely to help these numbers, with the Tigers leading the competition with 69.6 clangers per game, likely resulting in plenty of footy for Hurn to get his hands on.
Expect him to hold his own in the tough matchup against Richmond.

Get the 4 points that's all.
-
Too much to ask for essendon to best swans. Their last 10 minutes of the third quarter the worst I've seen all year.
-
If Lambert isn't the sub then Dimma will probably go for Aarts as well :P.
Stack very stiff. His last two weeks in the VFL have been excellent.
Dunno why they would name Lambert as an emergency unless he was going to be sub.

He did have a good 2019 GF but I remember thinking he’d get dropped in the 2017 finals series…
Castagna won us three flags???
My goodness

I’d even argue if you said Dusty won us three flags .. but Castagna ??? LMAO
-
Get the 4 points that's all.
Spot on, georgies. The upsets this weekend should be a reminder to our boys to not take any game for granted. Turn up to play and be mentally switched on and make sure we get the 4 points. That's all that matters tomorrow.
-
If Lambert isn't the sub then Dimma will probably go for Aarts as well :P.
Stack very stiff. His last two weeks in the VFL have been excellent.
Dunno why they would name Lambert as an emergency unless he was going to be sub.
Sunday game so we didn't need to finalise our side on Thursday. Dimma said in his midweek presser that he'd name Lambert in the squad and give him the full week to see if he was okay to play or not.
-
Pfft! C’mon. If we can’t beat them on our home deck we don’t deserve to play finals.
We should be looking to add more percentage too. Let’s play our game and bury them and start our charge to glory. :gotigers
-
Results going our away need to capitalise, but you don't rock up you get beat as this week's results show let's hope boys are focused and switched on.
-
Lambert is the sub.
-
If we can’t win this game we don’t deserve finals.
This SHOULD be a very comfortable win
:gotigers
-
Very poor start by Vlaustin
-
Zero tackle pressure so far.
A worrying stsrt
-
If we aren’t going to tackle we can kiss this season goodbye.
How can we be so terrible at something we are supposed to be good at? :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
Forward 50 entries are absolutely pathetic.
-
Gibcus on Darling. How stupid
-
Darling about to kick another but siren beat him
Make the change Dimma,
-
Forward 50 entries are absolutely pathetic.
They're exploiting Gibcus, we need to do the same to Bazzo
-
Put any of broad, grimes or Tarrant on Darling.
-
10 tackles is highly generous stat considering what is out on display.
Our tackles have been extremely poor - there is also very little to no pressure on the opposition ball carrier allowing them easy entries inside 50.
The only worse thing is our forward 50 entries shuck are rubbish.
We need to up the pressure
-
Castagna Out
Sonsie In
-
Pickett our best player currently.
-
Disgraceful performance so far, lucky to be in front
-
Already seen enough of Castagna, absolute spud!
-
Lazy defending by Nank, not close enough and no urgency to smother.
-
We are just doing enough.
-
Oh Shai
-
Anthony Hudson ‘Richmond convince the umpire it’s holding the ball’. Seriously. These blokes are WCE cheerleaders.
-
Broad, brutal turnover going forward and leads to an easy WCE goal.
-
Dusty has found some form today. Damaging by foot going forward.
-
D.Rioli sensational again today. M.Rioli has em pooting themselves in the eagles defence.
-
Just want to make a point on Ralphsmith. Hes a weapon running the footy but he doesnt have the deft little kick to short distance target, he should play within his limitations kick it long to a one on one where lynch or riewoldt can msrk it.
-
Geez our tendency to concede a goal straight from the centre bounce after kicking a goal of our own is frustrating! Finally got a run of goals on in the back end of that quarter.
-
Just want to make a point on Ralphsmith. Hes a weapon running the footy but he doesnt have the deft little kick to short distance target, he should play within his limitations kick it long to a one on one where lynch or riewoldt can msrk it.
He’s young and will make the odd mistake but he’s got so much to like at the moment about the way he plays I think he will be a star for us for a long time.
-
Spent the first quarter and a half just going through the motions until we woke up.
Pickett b.o.g. so far.
Dusty building on last week and finding more of his old touch.
Dan Rioli & Graham doing well too.
-
Dusty has found some form today. Damaging by foot going forward.
Dusty having a very good day at the office. His inside 50 kicking is elite and his pressure is also above his normal output.
-
Dustys just getting himself ready for a September performance for the ages imho.
-
Our contested possession, clearance and tackling need to be better this half.
With all the hype on Baker this week he is nearly unsighted. Hasn’t had any impact at all.
-
Im looking at Tarrant and wondering if hes thinking how lucky am I to be here and not at Norf.
-
Love Shai but too laconic at times.
Eagles will come back hard here
-
Here comes our poo patch
-
Dusty subbed out. Not sure why
-
Can't shake them here.
-
Barrass is destroying Lynch
-
Hate to say it but Graham has been terrible today.
-
Dusty subbed out. Not sure why
Hamstring but not critical enough to ice.
-
Hamstring for Dusty per Chanel 7
-
You may laugh but I think we're in trouble
-
Here we go again, 35 points up and we’re crumbling. Wash, rinse, repeat.
We are loosing all over the ground.
-
If anyone thinks we're doing any damage this year think again.
Be lucky to win this, pathetic lack of effort this quarter
Switching off
-
Grahams worst game I’ve seen him play. Terrible. Hasn’t stuck one tackle and each of his missed tackles have resulted in goals.
-
Can Jack Graham fall over any more often today
-
Season defining 30 minutes, we look tired but we're at home.
-
People panicking ... why?
We should hold on from here surely
-
Grahams worst game I’ve seen him play. Terrible. Hasn’t stuck one tackle and each of his missed tackles have resulted in goals.
Slow today and lacking awareness
-
SOFT! Came out after half time like the game was won and went back to just going through the motions. No movement forward of the ball, smashed in clearances and lost every 50/50 contest. Dimma needs to give them a blast in the huddle. This is all about workmate or lack of it :banghead.
-
9 to 19 inside 50’s that quarter :banghead
Killed out of the middle. When Nick Nat wasn’t winning the tap Soldo was tapping it straight down the throats of Kelly and Shuey. :banghead
Graham 1 tackle but 23 attempts. :help

Really poor

Jason Castagna. If he plays again this year sack Hardwick
-
Castagna bloody idiot.
Didn’t have to handpass the ball but does to a two on one. :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
You guys panik easy. We were never going to lose here
-
From this side
Balta comes in to replace Soldo
Prestia comes in for Graham and
Sonsie (debut) in for Castagna
-
From this side

Sonsie (debut) in for Castagna
Not dropping Graham off one average game dude seriously haha.
Soldo and George out for Balta and Prestia.
Dusty out maybe Cotchin in I dunno.
-
Take the 4 points and move on. Neutrals would've enjoyed a bruise free high scoring shoot out but we were defensively ordinary. Played like we were playing a bottom two side and didn't respect them. Talk of 10 goal flogging was always wishful thinking.
-
True MT, I was certainly guilty of that.
I’m going to back Graham in. Yes I think it was his worst game of all time he’s ever played for us but he may have just had an off day.
Rioli was excellent as was both wingman Pickett and McIntosh
Broad was very good also.
Soldo has one good tap that is all otherwise he was a waste of a player.
Dusty was back in the first half and looked as though he was going to continue his dominance so it’s a shame he pulled out.
Lambert was pretty much non existent when he came on didn’t notice him at all.
Bolton and grimes were solid good.
All others were pretty well beaten on the day even Vlaustin had a crap game.
I guess we didn’t play well and got beaten a lot but we still won which I guess is a positive.
-
My concern is our strategy at centre bounces with opposition runners running through the square kicking long bombs unimpeded. We need to stop teams doing that.
-
Not a bad win given we only had 16 on the field. You just can't count Soldo and Castagna as players because they simply aren't.
Let's hope it's the last we see of these two this year.
-
We’ve got to be no.1 at conceding goals directly from centre bounce.
-
We’ve got to be no.1 at conceding goals directly from centre bounce.
We are the worst team for effective tackling so I’d venture to say that next to the Kangas we are probably the worst.
-
Prestia is a massive loss when he isn't playing. Our centrebounce set up is always poorer for it. The opposition don't appear to get these run ons out of the guts when Dion is in there.
-
We’ve got to be no.1 at conceding goals directly from centre bounce.
We are the worst team for effective tackling so I’d venture to say that next to the Kangas we are probably the worst.
Watching the hips and pinning the arm is foreign to many of our blokes :help.
-
If people are looking to drop a player who played their worst game for the year, look no further than Vlastuin…terrible game but he is only human. Graham stays in no doubt about it :shh
-
I’d replace George for Stack

AFL Report Card: Round 16
Ben Waterworth, David Zita and Catherine Healey
Foxsports
4 July 2022
RICHMOND
The Tigers stamped their finals credentials with a big win over West Coast. The victory was soured by injury to star Dustin Martin, but the club says it was just precautionary to sub him out of the contest. The Tigers finished down on inside 50s -4, -6 in clearances and -19 in contested possessions but still managed to punish the Eagles by kicking 20 goals.
In the votes
Marlion Pickett had a day out for the Tigers, finishing with 25 touches, two goals, eight intercepts and two big contested marks. Dustin Martin was back to his brilliant best in the first half before his hamstring tightness saw his day ending in the third quarter. Martin had 17 disposals and a trademark goal from stoppage inside forward 50. Dan Rioli had one of his best games in recent memory, with 28 touches, three clearances and a goal.
Room for improvement
Liam Baker was well-held for three quarters before getting off the chain late. The out-of-contract Baker had just one touch to quarter time. Ivan Soldo could only manage five disposals, one mark and nine hit-outs playing as the back up ruck and failed to hit the scoreboard.

From this side
Balta comes in to replace Soldo
Prestia comes in for Graham and
Sonsie (debut) in for Castagna
Not dropping Graham off one average game dude seriously haha.
Soldo and George out for Balta and Prestia.
Dusty out maybe Cotchin in I dunno.
LOL average has been pretty much the norm for Graham. To think people are expecting him to be one of the blokes to take over the mantle from Dusty Cotch and Prestia.
Why are people not asking the question of why we lost clearances so badly again or contested ball for that matter. also got beaten for inside 50's on the back of losing in those areas.Makes you wonder if they had say Kennedy and Allen available to take advantage of that dominance.
This game probably more than any shows the need for mids to come into the club. We are still okay if healthy but sheesh we get beaten up in these areras.
Has anyone stopped to ask just how good a side we could be if we were dominant in these areas.

Take out Prestia ,Cotchin , Martin and Lambert out same calibre of players from any club you think same outcomes won't happen bit of perspective mate no mention of that we all know our midfield needs to lift and we need fresh blood , but you can cover so much troops out to.

Think your 100% missing what im saying here and have been all along.Yes we are fine and more than competetive with the oldies fit but sheesh we get belted in some critical areas when even one or even two are not there and it has been the case for years.
People here just refuse to admit when it comes to the Grahams and Ross's that they are not going to fill the void.
They won't fill the void because they are or more to the point have been average at best.
We got away with it against a side who have had absolutely no continuity and deplorable injury losses. Last time i looked we are more healthy than most. yep we are missing a few mids but fmd when just a few are not there we get belted up in those key areas.
We have had ages to work on this in fact we have had since the end of 2016 to ensure the situation we are now in did not happen.

The point really should be that when you win a premiership you get last pick within each round of the draft. These players are not the best in the competition as a rule and are likely role players.
The majority of Our best players were top 1 12 picks and to get those picks in the first place means we didnt win a lot of games for 30 something years.

We lose clearances because generally we choose to play a spare behind the ball (thus we are outnumbered at stoppage) and score from the ensuing turnover. If we break even or win clearances (which isn't that often) its generally because the oppo either even up our spare or use their spare behind the ball. Its been a problem for ages because that is our game profile - we are a score from turnover side, not a score from clearance side. It's very difficult to be both a score from stoppage side and a score from turnover side.

Very nice pair of lists,
I do agree we have a better chance with better picks but if the recruiters did their job properly we could have a better chance this year. We should have added midfield depth, with cheaper talent not getting games elsewhere. I have a feeling we are going to fall hard if we don’t address our gaps asap.
