West Coast should beat the Tigers this week

[Tiger2709]

Just count the AFL flags & not VFL or VFA.
You know it makes sense.

It does to you but for those of us that lived during the VFL days the change really was nothing more than a rename, one year our clubs were playing in a comp called the VFL the next year ot was renamed to the AFL nothing else changed and Im not writing off my own clubs glorious era between 1967 and 1982 and neither is the AFL, Premier league doesn't differentiate between the first div wins and EPL wins nor do any of the many renamed and expanded competitions around the World so why should we?

 

[chefmeister]

No probs recognising your early popularity when they voted for your 7 VFA Premierships, the first actual VFA Grand Final was won by North.

Yep, the game is constantly changing, even today.

AFL allows clubs to recognise their past but not include them as AFL/VFL flags, our club didnt even bother playing a challenge against North owing to the game being umpired by the razor ray of the early 20th century shows how much they meant to us but yes we do have two, lets not forget the druggies won 4 VFA flags in a row themselves beating your 3 in a row.

I didn’t include them, I just stated my club has 16 senior flags to your 13.

It’s incredibly disrespectful for you to insinuate the championship didn’t mean anything to the guys playing for it then just because it means nothing to you now.

Do you also piss on the graves of fallen ANZAC’s..?

certainly not trying to rob them of glory just putting those wins in there true perspective.

True perspective is that they are flags won at the highest level of competition at the time.

You know it makes sense.

If you want a level playing field, assume you’re ok to only count those in the current 18 team system?

Tigers - 1
Eagles - 0

You’ve been staring at those Optus Stadium lights for too long again...

Lets not associate football with war, only one is a game.
You're a fairly moderate Cat some of your more salty compatriots like to pretend that they all count the same, celebrate history but understand you only have 9 AFL/VFL Premiership cups not 16 I couldnt find what they presented back in the early days of the VFA?

Do they give epileptic warnings at Optus I havent had the chance to go yet and as Im currently in Vietnam I will be missing our hame against WCE next week

My thoughts exactly you cant have it all ways.

Haven’t been in WA since 2010 so not sure.

Anyway I always thought the lights were predominantly intended to lure Ben Cousins back to West Coast for some insignificant role that he’d probably give up on anyway, as some desperate promotional ca$h grab in a misguided display of nostalgic emotion.

Far fetched I know...

Actually they do give a warning about the flashing lights towards the end of the game.

People do talk about the Premier League differently.

And I have followed WCE since 87.

Sssshhhhh....dude, quiet. Enough with the facts man. Back off Warchild, seriously.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

The maggots will gift a minimum 6 goals to the booers, so they'll probably squeak in with a narrow win.

Seems he mistook a cushy ‘VISY’ type role at West Coast for being too much like hard work also.

How do you go in finals away from the MCheatG?

You know it makes sense.

I agree. Only flags won in the full 18 team comp count.

I've been away but can someone tell me if Richmond have lobbied to the AFL to play this one at the MCG?

I wouldn't be surprised with it being 269 days since Richmond have won a Premiership game out of Victoria.

They were stretched away from the MCG last week by a team many predicted to win the wooden spoon.

 

[David Schwarz]

West Coast should win purely on form and the home advantage but if anyone thinks that it means anything more than one-upmanship during the season, they're surely kidding themselves

/serious

Continue your pointless shitfight

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

All the pressure is on the Tigers this week, let's see if they stand up.

 

[The Goon]

Well West Coast you bunch of pretenders, your mob at home should beat the Tigers after we softened them up yesterday.

You lucky pricks get to play Richmond at a time they are jaded and hurting, even if this what at the G, you should win.

At a minimum, a win but if they're a serious threat for the flag, then they should put them away by 40 plus.

I predict that the Tigers will be forced to rest a couple of stars and bring in a couple of spuds like Chol and Bolton which will weaken them structurally.

Massive win if the Tigers get up and serious questions need to be asked of Simmo about the fragility of his side if they lose to a wounded opponent. I wouldn't be surprised if Dimma rested half a dozen or even had a chat with Gil over brekky and float the idea of a forfeit this week. The Tiger need to think big picture.

Eagles couldn't possibly lose this, could they?

All 100% accurate. I thought I wandered into the main board by mistake.
