Three goals in a row to the Wiggles and it's just 15 points the difference at 3/4 time, as Darling kicks his 400th AFL goal. Not too bad for a pudding who was Toovey's bunny for years.

Tigers 74-54 early in the final quarter.

Tim Kelly has been mowed down a few times tonight and hasn't impacted the game.

Tigers 81-60.

It's funny how West Coast have only lost three games all season (it's about to be 4) - all in the State they're playing Richmond (and none in the State where they played us). They have won 2 out of 6 in Queensland. The fixture is a farce.

^ Agree, P4S.

Unless the Grand Final is played in Perth, I don't think West Coast will win the premiership this year.

WC are like Richmond 2017: can't win away from home.

There has not been a worthy premier since 2015 or 2016. The AFL is full of mediocrity.

To me richmond are kind of like cashing in from this equal seasons we have been having since 2017. They are the ones. Agree K hasnt been a worthy premier since 2016. The flag isnt earnt anymore too.

There hasn't been a worthy premiership team since 2011. The talent-drain caused by Gold Coast and GWS means that there are just no teams with a full side of "premiership players". In 2018, we weren't that good - and we got beaten in the GF by a team that had a shabby midfield and might easily have finished between 8th and 12th in a year where squad talent wasn't compromised.

As for Richmond, I think we just need to be very grateful for our under-talented team's efforts in the 2018 prelim - Richmond just now look like they might otherwise have been punting for 4 in a row this year.

Can the Bulldogs beat the Cats, tonight ?

Probably not, no.

Hmmm. Dogs lead 33 to 3, late in the first quarter.

Make that 39 to 3. Still not quite 1/4 time.

Quarter time.

WB leading 39-3. Disposals: Hunter 9, Dunkley 7.

WB 40-22.
