Lost both games by the exact same margin.. 47 points.

Hehehe

Exhilarating brand of footy by the Doggies. Has turned Perth into one of the worlds most liveable cities for the next few days.

 

[Keys]

I'm assuming you guys are as devastated as us Eagles supporters that there's no WA team still in it now

 

[wild side]

Devoed Kaiser, devoed

 

[Schauermann]

Oh, nearly forgot about the game today: Eagles gone, Doggies won.

[x] Like.

Ps Really didn't expect that. Even with a few decent ins, based on their last h&a game, I expected eagles by 120+ ...

not when the team that was in it continues to embarrass the west with 47 point finals losses.

Is anyone like me struggling to watch these finals and feeling the pain of not being there.

My past few years was footy in September and then straight into the WNBL in October and in the process working my birthday around the footy.

Now......there's pain at not being there and I'm struggling to get into the finals. What the hell do I do this month besides watching teams I dislike?

You can say that again.

Agreed.

If you mix up red and blue you get purple. So if you squint while watching doggies games you can pretend it's us.

Until you see them hit targets and then that optical illusion isn;t convincing anyone.

After witnessing the train wreck season we had this year I am quite happy to sit back and watch the finals.
I have picked my favourite underdogs who I would like to make it and am excited to see what happens.
As for Fremantle I will hold onto the memory of Pavs last game as the highlight of the year and sit back patiently waiting for who we pick in the trade period.
Get all excited for the pre season and wait and see our draw for next year.
Where will Lyon take us who is going to leave and what players are we going to pick up?
Who is going to have a massive pre season and hit the ground running for 2017 how tough will our draw be?

Wow. Exciting times ahead.

Wow. Exciting times ahead.

With West Coast finishing 7th, our draw for next year will be:

Play other 17 teams once + play Eagles a second time, then:

0 or 1 game v top 6 (2016) team

0 or 1 game v Norf / St Kilda / Port / Melbourne / Collingwod

2 or 3 games v Richmond / Carlton / Gold Coast / Brions / Essendon.

Just when you started to get set on getting annoyed at the AFL for GWS the AFL media mafia are at it again. Robbo saying playing the game at Showgrounds riuns the finals integrity. WTF. Where was sending Freo to Geelongistan in the integrity stakes. And Robbo and Pratley were at the forefront cheering the decision.I don't like GWS but any decision that makes campaigners like Robbo, Pratley, Eddie et al squeal like the stuffed pugs they are is a good decision in my boat.

My thoughts exactly. The geelong boards going nuts. Such short memories. It even impacted supporters not being able to get hands on the limit of the 500 dockers tickets available. Screw you geelong, screw you vfl.

Still dont know how i got a ticket into the ground that day but what a bloody good feeling it was being in the ground when we knocked the cats out on there home patch

From Afl website
"THE TREND of shepherding the man on the mark has been ticked off by the AFL umpires' department.
Hawthorn is a regular exponent of the tactic and used it several times in its qualifying final loss to Geelong.

Can guarantee if we had started this tactic it would have been stopped by the AFL.

Hawthorn have been doing it for years. It's smart, and allows the player to kick an extra 20m or so. It's suprising to me that we only started doing it with any consist this year. After recruiting two Hawks into the coaching ranks.
