Essendon v West Coast, Etihad 4.40pm

[quin_stick]

I must say it's nice to be on the "good" side of the whole bad-umpiring-deciding-games thing for once

 

[Sidra]

Wow.

These ridicilous decisions are becoming a trend against the WCE, whether critical match changing ones or deciding to apply an unkonwn rule just for the eagles and just this once for the season.

Our club needs the give the AFL a spray but they don't seem to care, can't blame the umps if you aren't calling them to account for it.

 

[samFFC]

Yeah, I wouldn't emphasis on the last decision. Essendon completely outplayed the eagles in the second half

Blaming the umpires for a one, maybe two questionable decisions doesn't make up for the 6 goal lead the eagles gave up

There were more though. Another deeply lopsided FK count.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Our superior fitness built of the back of 1 tough pre-season in particular helped get us over the line.

We had the bigger bodies to overrun the Eagles, due to our players working hard in the gym.

How do you expect anyone to believe that after your questionable "performance program".

 

[GrandBlue]

The Bombers easily deserved the win. Far better team in the second half; West Coast just fell asleep.

With that said, Shane McInerney is a stupid idiot. This isn't the worst decision he's ever made though, that honor still goes to what he did at the start of the 3rd quarter in the 2009 Saints/Bulldogs prelim.

 

[Probitas_]

Awes poor Eagles, 2014 free kick differential is now only +245

Lol, enjoy your win mate, you guys are a real class act.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Cheats win again.

Must of been a decent bit of coin for wce to win oh well afl fixed tgat.

Suck on it and like it!!!

Oh yeah WC have an umpire issue!!!

 

[Rod Stroker]

agreed. horrible umpiring call and would have been more devastating had it been close all game, but we let them back in and went in too tall. No one to blame but ourselves.
Winderlich killed us in the 2nd half

It was working well when you were 34 points up. You can't fall back on that one.

1 GOAL IN 40 MINUTES = UMPIRES FAULT.

Not the point, the free wasn't there and who knows what may have happened?

Fantastic troll.

If there was an award for troll of the year this post would be my nomination.

 

[Adz]

Simpson had no answer to Winderlich. He's another coach on the chopping block next year unless they play finals.

 

[Vindicater]

Eagles fans complaining about free kicks.

1 goal in 40 metres. Hill marks it outside the fifty with more bomber defenders in the 50 than west coast forwards. Of course that free was what cost them the game.

If only the free was not given I am sure the Eagles would have kicked 6 goals more in those 40 minutes.

Pretty despicable behaviour by most of the posters in this thread. We just saw a great finish and all other people want to do is call Essendon drug cheats. ****ing disgraceful.

My guess would be Hooker marks a long bomb.

There is a reason people call you drug cheats

And yes it's ****ing disgraceful

 

[Rod Stroker]

I look forward to another AFL apology tomorrow, the second in 2 days, saying they got it wrong again and influenced yet another result.

 

[Sufjan Stevens]

To be honest, I'm glad to see Essendon win a close one. They've been unlucky recently.

 

[Rich01]

Great game. Shocking skills by both teams in the first half and the Bombers had more legs in the second.

 

[jasonstackhouse]

EVERYONE HEAD OVER TO THE WCE BOARD TO WITNESS THE MELTING LOL

 

[Boxhead_31]

Bloody umpires, would be embarrassed if my team won a game due to the umpires handing it to them like the Bombers just got that one handed to them

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Thank God our season and finals chances are over with, now the club can really start assessing these blokes and start cutting out the spuds

 

[JUBJUB]

Thanks umps, win it for the scum you dogs.

FFS we weren't even playing

 

[Donakebab]

Do you mean apart from where they extended the lead to nearly 6 goals?

Poor short term memory? After kicking two early goals they shut up shop and looked ready for the flight home.
