Cats fans purring.....Roos fans want to pouch that last spot. Essendon will still bomb out.

Davis and Patful out for about 6-8 weeks as well.

Going to be tough for them to finish top 4

I get the feeling that Rhys Stanley's ankle injury is going to be quite serious. How will the Cats fare without him?

I'm tipping West Coast for 4th. Good home ground advantage and are playing decent footy

The Eagles will land, Port will power on, Carlton will still have the blues and the Suns will keep going down.

He only played one good game in a row, but by gee was that an interesting game plan that left Port with no answers.

Best game I have seen Stanley ever play. But geez it would be frustrating for Geelong to get a taste of how good he can be and then see him out for a month.

Absolutely, at the Saints he promised the world but delivered an atlas, you could see that there was something special there but it just never got out.

The Stanley/Blicavs combo has been pretty effective this season. Take one out and how does it go?

We don't have another ruck - look at the injury list. Clark, Mcintosh, Simpson, Stanley and Vardy. Walker is half a ruckman so he might come in and play the ruck/forward role.

Stanley has been a good recruit. Nothing wrong with his other games. He's put on beef at Catland and will continue to develop. When all teams have two athletic running type ruckmen going around remember who got in first. ;)

I thought Walker did a decent job in the ruck?

Walker has an honest crack and that's about it. We need Clark back at the very least to help Blix out. With Stanley we can use Blix just about anywhere..when we have them both we look far more dangerous. It didn't work against the Eagles though as Nic Nat and Sinclair absolutely pantsed them. They still have a way to go but Walker is proving most valuable with his ability to pinch hit in the ruck. He' s busting his arse because he's up against Clark, Vardy, Kersten, Stanley for a spot.

Reckon after what we saw on the weekend West Coast would be the favourite for a top 4 spot. Thought Richmond would win that but if WC are winning games like that away from home they look the goods for top 4
