Big blow for West Coast with Kennedy and Shuey out. This game was always going to be hard to win down in Tassie, but these outs have just added to the difficulty.
NM play well in Tassie but this is the sort of game that the Eagles need to battle through if they have ambitions to make a Grand final. Its an opportunity to consolidate their place in the top 2.
Gee Tasmania is a graveyard for WA teams. Eagles hardly fired a shot today, they obviously missed Shuey and Kennedy but NM wanted it so much more and were harder at it all day. The margin should been more if you look at the stats. Anyway WCE now get a chance to lick their wounds and get their mojo back in the Derby.
Yes, not a good week for West Aussie footy. Both coming off floggings could make next week a very interesting game.
Freo not in the same world as Eagles…easy Eages win next week
