GAME DAY Tigers V Bombers Dreamtime

[Tiger Rob]

55 points in a canter. Our indigenous folk to smash em. Put your house on it.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

A few on their board at BF, think there's too much hype and publicity for the bombers and some are afraid they will get smacked

We've been there in past eras. Chance to enter the eight and earn respectability ended in failure. I think they're right to sense it.

Fixture change will be announced shortly - now locked in. @WestCoastEagles will now play @Richmond_FC in round 13 - next Sunday at @OptusStadium Moved forward from round 14.
I guess that works out better for us to stay there and play the eagles and then have the bye RD 14

Astbury and Lambert are expected back for next weeks game. The Eagles still have a lot of players out, plus they play Carlton in Sydney tomorrow.

Except we’re not staying in WA because of quarantine conditions.
We’re flying back to Sydney and then flying back to WA before the next game.
Not ideal preparation having to fly there and back twice in a week.

Put your house on it.

I don't have a house anymore, having taken your advice on a previous occasion.

 

[Mr Brightside]

We should win , however had a bad feeling about this game all week, maybe because im not there

Western Australians certainly embracing Michael Long's long walk more than Melbournians, over 6,000 marching, great turnout.

I agree wholeheartedly but why can't we just stay in Perth? Like Ess did.

 

[MackTiger]

Tigers by 47

Shai and Shedda on fire with goals and at least 25 diposals.
Sheds wins BOG medal

Dusty, quiet, but still gets 20 and 2 Snags
Graham solid all night destroying young bombers in ferocious tackles.

And...........

George. Kicks 3 and has 21 disposals and has several new leg tatts to celebrate.

I can only dream.

Can't wait for this one.

 

[AngryAnt]

Apparently close to a sell-out, well done WA

The WA quarantine rules state that the players can only leave their hotel for very limited training and for the match itself. Very restrictive for the players whereas no restrictions apply in Sydney, so much better for the players welfare.

How many normally walk ?

Great to see. Obviously more indigenous people in WA than Vic.

Never done the walk myself but previous Melbourne News crosses to the walk were nothing like the WA masses reported tonight

I have heard that public transport in Perth is crap, and there's not much parking near the stadium, may as well walk.

 

[Barkdog]

Dan Rioli is the sub again

 

[Redford]

How many normally walk ?

Depends if it’s raining.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

I don't understand why a club would make a small forward the sub. It just doesn't make sense if a tall, midfielder or defender goes down.

That bloody no brolly at the G policy

have a good feeling we will win mate.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

It's easier to shuffle a bit to cover a tall than to put the extra load through your smalls.

If you lost a mid in the first 30 seconds and had a tall sub, the extra running load would put you in soft tissue danger for weeks.

I'm not suggesting a tall should be the sub either (for same reason), so surely a utility type player or midfielder is the safe bet I would have thought.
