What ever happens next week the Preliminary final is ours to lose .

There no doubt about it.We play 4 qtrs of solid football and bring our best game we will be hard to beat ,but any intensity drop brings us to the pack .I said it before this tiger team looks a lot different to ones in the past.

Loving the belief - something Ive never experienced as a tigers man, ever.

Personally, for whatever reason Id rather GWS than the Weagles. The fairy tale stuff adds a bit to them, and their talls are an intimidating trio.

Can anyone confirm if Nik Nat would be some potential should they win?

Cameron gone for the season.

Doubts on Mumford too.

Either opponent will be dangerous....WC will have no pressure on them & nothing to lose and are playing their best footy for the year...GWS are the most purely talented list since the salary cap was introduced...don't forget also that when we knocked them off they had half the list injured , were in a form slump, lost Shiel during the match and it was wet which evened up the skill level....also think losing Cameron might be a good thing for them as it will force them not to go in as top-heavy as they normally do....and of course we still don't know if having two byes in three weeks is beneficial or detrimental....though last year suggests the latter.....speaking of which.....anyone hear if we'll be playing a scratch match next weekend to stay sharp? Heard Adelaide are....

What worries me the most is the loss of momentum.

I wondee if WCE are tempted to play nic nat against us - I dont think he has played a wafl match .

also think losing Cameron might be a good thing for them as it will force them not to go in as top-heavy as they normally do

losing cameron is a bad thing for them

no chance. A bit like us if it aint broke etc etc

losing cameron is a bad thing for them

i cant make my mind up on this. On the surface it does but then they might load up on smalls as dio suggests

[Diocletian]

He's a gun but he's also part of their main weaknesses....a top heavy structure and lack of forward defensive pressure..

..Mumford would arguably be a bigger loss....

Mumford gone for the season.

Now that is a big loss....things have certainly been falling into place for West Coast these last few weeks...
