Notes: Most recently avoided the Guthrie tag. The whole West Coast team played poorly in this game and didn’t kick a goal after quarter time. Poor record against Geelong with only two scores over 100 in six games.

In my opinion, based on season form to date, Fyfe cannot be overlooked against Adelaide who will be fired up after their loss to the Giants. Following Fyfe, the standout is Pendlebury whose record against North Melbourne is amazing. Next best would be Kennedy against Carlton and then Rockliff against St Kilda.

Good luck all!
