Going into round 22, West Coast sit just a game and percentage ahead of Fremantle, and could find itself outside the eight if they lose and other results go against them. The Dockers know a loss ends any chance of playing finals, and condemns them to a sixth consecutive year of missing the top eight.
The Eagles have managed just two wins from their past seven matches, including a point loss to Collingwood, a point defeat by the Western Bulldogs, and a point humiliation at the hands of Sydney.
After round 14 they looked all but assured a spot in the eight, with a percentage of Since then, their percentage has collapsed to They have had three totals below 50 points, including kicking the club's lowest score since — 26 points against Sydney in round 16 — and haven't kicked a score of more than points since round nine, something they did four times in the first half of the season.
All of this combined has led to strong criticism of Simpson's game plan, something that was highlighted when the Eagles released the shackles late against Melbourne, almost running over top of the ladder leaders. It would likely be a whole lot worse if not for the remarkable efficiency with which West Coast score when they do go inside attacking But it's not just scoring that would be concerning to the Eagles and the coaching staff. In contrast, Melbourne sit top of the AFL ladder, and still lay more than 60 tackles per game.
That's despite winning the disposal count in 14 of their 21 matches so far this year. The Eagles have won the disposal count just six times, which adds credence to the suggestion that when things aren't going their way, they have no way of arresting momentum. In recent weeks, Fremantle has demonstrated its enormous upside, but also the gulf between it and the top sides.
A spirited win over Richmond, without captain Nat Fyfe and led by the club's young stars, suggested they aren't far off. David Mundy and Caleb Serong celebrate a goal. Perhaps most of all Taberner, whose taunting of both Jeremy McGovern and Tom Barrass was supported by a three-goal opening term that made a widely respected defence look second-rate. Fremantle had piled on eight goals by the first siren, both opening a point lead and marking their best start to a derby since — the last time it was victorious in the cross-town clash.
Taberner might have held his own in the key-position battle with Barrass, but the latter earned back some bragging rights with a spectacular mark deep in the third term. West Coast forward Jamie Cripps was left bloodied after copping an accidental elbow from Mundy in the third term. Cripps looked to have some angry words as blood dripped from his mouth, but it was hard to fault Mundy who had the ball in both hands and looked to be merely freeing his arms to prevent them being impeded in a tackle.
The crowd on the outer side got fired up when Dom Sheed struck Bailey Banfield in the stomach off the ball, but replays indicated Sheed used an open hand which should ensure he plays next week. Luke Ryan was happy to throw his weight around late, wearing his heart on his sleeve as he got involved in any scuffle that was going. The West Australian. Perth Now Click to open navigation.
