West vs South July 22nd @ Arctic Park

Well after a good win the Drums are Beating (or is that signs ) that if we win this week we will be OFF THE BOTTOM!! (Assuming North lose to the Eagles)

Can we go 4 from the past 5??

I think so by 23 points

I hope a win is the focus after the game than someone's story.

Schmidt is out with a hamstring

No chance sorry,...... Im back from holidays and hope to make the game

I agree with Lee...p##s off TAAARS.  

Fair go fellas you have had 3 wins in my absence,what more do you want? However for the right $'s I could be encouraged to go away again.

I will get security on you like i did last time you got out of order

Former Geelong rookie Zac Bates returns from a knee complaint to be named on the wing while Tom Pillion, Josh Ryan and Jack Evans have all been added to the five-man extended interchange bench.

Very disappointed with the above comments.A nicer guy i have never met, a thorougher gentleman is Taaars.

Bundy --- agree with this taars is a nice man but if we lose this weekend he is banished from australia during the footy season lol

Reference this weekends game, while the loss of chris and logan is a large loss i feel the team is actually playing some very good team football at the moment (hidden by poor goal kicking) and i have confidence that the replacements are ready and will play solid team oriented football

Westies in a great game to win for me

Thanks for those kind words about me Bundy.It was just lovely. Now how much was it we agreed that I pay you for your post?

Thanks Taaars just the usual carton.

What a great win today missing Chris Schmidt, Logan Hill and Shannon Green.

Amother grewt game by stevens he must be a short price favourite for the clubs b&F

A very impressive win built on intense pressure around the ball and a great first quarter start. 
So good to be off the foot of the ladder.
484 days..... long enough!

That's a pretty impressive win out there. I thought we were in trouble in the 3rd quarter when they outplayed us mostly and our effort dropped off a bit, but then we outplayed them into the wind for the last 20 minutes of the last quarter.

I thought Schiller was outstanding and was our best, followed by Kaine Stevens, Agostino and Noble. Noble's goal into the wind from the pocket was really important. As was Pillion's brilliant direction of the ball from a marking contest to a running Bates in the last quarter for a key goal. Bates had a shocker though, and a couple of our other smalls hardly gave a yelp. We need everyone contributing to give Sturt a shake.

A very pleasing win.
I have to agree with 'Aldo Russian' that Schiller was our best player his work in and under was magnificent. Stevens was again all class and will win the B&F very easily. Agostino and Noble were both important players  and they are becoming more and more comfortable at league level.
As you say 'Aldo' the goal by Noble from the boundary line in the 2nd quarter was outstanding.

The players really found something in the last quarter after south scored the first  3 goals.

Sturt next week is a real test and let's hope we are competitive.

Yeah, another vote for Number 10..... goes in hard.

Kenny Karpany had 17 tackles.

That's exceptional.

Tackless is an interesting stat.
Schiller n Feilke have had 183 tackles between them this yr.
2 very similar playerss and both very underated as they aren't the fancy players

He's got to do better than 9 disposals though. I'd rather he had 17 disposals and 9 tackles.

Very unattractive game. Scrappy, lots of mistakes and turnovers and with heaps of stoppages but tough and hard fought. The wind directed the play into the scoreboard pocket where the game was pretty much played out. South had more kicks, marks and handballs but we gave them a few goals by handballing straight to them. We won it in the first Q and defended for the rest of the game. Stevens and Schiller were terrific with their inside work and Noble was pretty good breaking the game open. Still, a great away win in trying conditions and without Hill, Schmidt and Green. We’ve won four of our last 5 and we are off the bottom of the table. Sturt next week. Hopefully we can continue to create some more havoc on the premiership table.

That surprises me that south had more kicks,marks,and handbslls because in my view we had the better of them all day and  we would have been robbed if we had lost. We were clearly the better side out there. I can only conclude their stats came from our pressure on them as they did what we used to do earlier in the season by kicking backwards,sideways and to no one all day. We also had out from our 1st pick players Keogh and Webb so that is 25% of our side sitting in the crowd. Our 2nd tier players really stood up and I reckon they will soon become on our 1st pick list.
Will be interesting  next game v Sturt because if we bring the same endevour to that game we are a real chance at home.

To be fair they were missing, off the top of my head, Overall, Haren, Secull and Gotch.
