Is West Coast Eagles 2018 Premiership win the best in the history of Football? Can they go Back to Back in Season 2019? Or Will complacency set in?

[Forward Press]

Don't care, would actually prefer that every expert writes us off just like 2018. The danger is the players buying into their own hype now that they know they are capable of winning it all.

 

[GlocksTickin]

Would want to kick start their 2019 campaign in a hurry as the GWS Juggernaut rolls into town Saturday night. They got their ass handed to them by the Lions after being grafted a 5 goal start too. After that it's the Magpies in the Grand Final rematch.


Early days. But **** what a shit show last night.

Completely agree. But we won the flag so **** it who cares.

I guess it's all downhill from here.

****en good win Eagles. Destroyed em

You wrote us off completely after our North game last year.

I bet you wrote us off just last week too.

Stop bumping your terrible threads.

 

[Scotland]

I'd say our Rd 2 win over GWS in 2019 is the best in history.

Weren't too bad yourselves. I admit I predicted you were going to struggle this year so far I have been dead wrong.

Their key position stocks are not fair and are the reason why they will be hard to beat again.

West Coast have speed - Jetta, Rioli, Ryan, Petruccelle, Shuey
West Coast have strength - Yeo, Darling, Redden, Hurn
West Coast have marking power - McGovern, Barrass, Kennedy

Will win another flag, and then another one next decade I bet. Once we reach double digit premierships, the Victorians will realise it was insane that the mighty state of Western Australia only had 2 teams for many years.

Teams need to study Fagan's game plan

Sprinklers on for a couple of days prior to mimick the conditions?

Pretty much cheat tactics and conditions

Cheers mate. We've been fantastic and couldn't ask for a better start beating the runners up and Prelim finalists in our first two games. Bloody great.

You guys destroyed the Giants last night which was a good effort in bouncing back after defeat to Brizzy. New players Allen and Pettrucelle showing promising signs.

 

[Macpotata]

If they play the way they did tonight against Collingwood no one will beat them. They can score, they can stifle, they can suffocate.


Too many weapons. Nit Nat, Rioli, a few others missing but no problems. Bench mark of the competition without question.

 

[Macpotata]

McGovern fmd. Destroyed them again. As did Dom Sheed lol.

 

[BigVic]

Willie and Nic were missing tonight but the Eagles with Gaff and Sheppard were the difference playing in today’s team

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

I think Geelong and Brisbane are the two in form teams at the moment, cautious on WC still as they get up to speed after the shorter preseason.

 

[Macpotata]

That Pettrucelle is a ****in gazelle.

Still think Geelong is the side to beat.

Dogs ‘16 had to travel to Perth, return to Melbourne and travel to Sydney en route to the 2016 flag.

7th places H and A finish, lost their captain to an ACL injury, Redpath and Wallis out LTI’s.

Also Dogs played the #1 seeded Sydney Swans.

This is it in a nutshell

GWS looked terrific today. Makes last weeks win more signifcant. Lions winning too shows that round 1 wasn't a big a bomb as previously thought either.

Lets come back to this thread after round 6 when Cats play WC.

 

[Red Dog Styles]

Liam Ryan mark to Dom Sheed to goal. Gave me a huge smile, even though im a neutral supporter.

As much as I hope we are by season’s end.....The Eagles are & deserve to be seen as the benchmark atm!....Tonight was so impressive from them.
