Round 23 2015 - West Coast v St Kilda

[Falchoon]

Eagles won by 90 pts....Even if St Kilda had 30-0 frees it wouldn't have made a difference. Yes Eagles received an advantage but it didn't alter the final result

you can put the simpleton strawman argument to bed

no Saints fan is arguing that this result would have changed if the game had been evenly umpired

 

[YelloMit]

And Naitanui even better than Gaff.

Possibly. Priddis will get 1 or 2 votes.

Well you can't blame us when every game we play against West Coast is blighted by atrocious umpiring in your favour.

And it hasn't just happened at Subiaco either, you've been given an armchair ride against us at Etihad as well.

What do you expect us Saints supporters to do? Sit there and applaud while you kick goal after goal from soft umpire assisted free kicks?

You West Coast supporters have had it so good from the umpiring for so long you don't even know how much you're favoured

That's why all your moron supporters boo the umpires at Subiaco even when you're getting way more frees than the opposition.

Lov'n your delicious posts petal, keep it up.

 

[Dusky]

Trust me. I live in this shitty state. They are scared!

If our boys don't take the flag I hope to god Freo do.

Our derby writeup made 10 pages in from the back cover of the Hun, lol.

 

[Farang83150]

Bruce > Kennedy

lol...

 

[Big Cox 88]

Complaining about umpires in a 100 point loss is a bit like Shane Watson using a review on an lbw decision.

 

[Altum Volantes]

I think it would be fair if St Kilda were rewarded a goal for each 'Free Kick Differential'.

Final Score:
St Kilda: 21.6.132
WCE: 18.17.125

Justice I feel, clearly the robbed by the umpires tonight due to some kind of home ground conspiracy/corrupt officials.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Still waiting on that example Plugger. I can remember one howler today, the 50 on the HBF that one of your blokes got for a slight breeze knocking him down.

 

[lewigie]

Atleast plugger stirred some discussion in a thread that probably would've been under 20 posts otherwise.

 

[Farang83150]

Plugger and umpires.. Save your energy

It's like trying to have a debate with rain man.

Candidate for funniest post of the year, well done Sir.

See Carlton Hawthorn thread today, was horrible.

Providing free kick stats that shows your club's obvious umpire favouritism isn't Bay 13 trolling princess, it's a fact.

Suck it up.

Not sure the Eagles have won the flag yet?... You've finished second in the H&A season... Hmmm...

In this game
They beat a side that have checked out early after battling through a long season... They won't get the easy running forward joe the goose stuff against Hawthorn, nor will they get away playing off their man behind the ball

And surely they won't get that sort of a ride again by the umps... In review those umps will be torn to shreds... and against a big club will be too scared to blatantly favour the crowd... Instead of being no news it would be back page!

And the Kangas legend spruiking
What has your side done!!!
Loaded up for a tilt and are further away... Give us a break... You're not even a good side... Mediocre at 12 o clock
Go tigers.

Luke Shuey looks like he's on something what's with his head shakes at stoppages every game bloke's cooked as

Hes done it his whole career, just a excited/nervous twitch might also be the caffeine pills

 

[bzparkes]

Not sure what you'd be great at, but it's definitely not putting up a competent argument

pr5

Richmond were plus 3 this week, Weagles +17, yes 17



West Coast have the highest differential in the AFL

not that Richmond were out there, Weagles +53 in last 6 vs the Saints

That'll happen against undisciplined opposition. Guess the differential has changed from last time I looked at it but you're clutching at straws if you think the free kick count should be anywhere near even tonight. 95 point drubbings usually mean you be on the negative end of the umps.

 

[Big Mart]

Actually this was the worst scenario for WCE

Now it will be focussed on (the obvious bias)

And in a game that matter... Next week ... Umps will have it in the forefront of their small minds... To keep it somewhat fair.

They'd have been better off losing the count by 10 and only winning by 40pts

Get a grip and leave out the ridiculous excuses.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Well that would explain it then. A kid in my homeroom had a slightly different thing, but he would be shaking or sniffing non-stop. He had to have some sort of nerve treatment to calm him down.

Guy i used to play footy with had it too, he used to flick his tongue out like a lizzard non stop, surprised he never bit his tongue off

Post coherently please.

 

[wce4premiership]

You obviously took his bait

Not even close, just fun to post crap. Otherwise plugger wouldn't have so many posts.

It's tiresome though seeing the same crap in every single game day thread.

 

[Tsongkie]

Just checked the free kick stats.

23 - 6 in West Coast's favour, wow what a surprise.

I'm outraged too. If the game was adjudicated on it's merits - it should have been more around the 40-4 mark.

Instead of opting for the easy out and blaming umps, perhaps some introspection at the lack of discipline demonstrated by your players, may serve you well.

Second to the contest, clumsy tackles, undisciplined in the backs, lazy holding the man, back-chatting the refs, slapping balls from players hands.

Head out of sand.

95 points, suck that up.

 

[Saint_J]

well done west coast gave us a few things to think about over the off season.

very hard last two games but overall im very happy with how the saints have gone this year.

 

[NathanMX]

Our two teams have had some classic matches together, and their fans have been mostly respectful, I still remember Harveys 350th, the crowd did not boo him once despite us winning, I am sorry this way not a classic.
