Game Day 2018 Grand Final - Eagles v Pies

[raffrox]

It’s a strange mentality to take someone else’s success personally.

I take the response of Dockers supporters who have a crack at anyone who is critical of the club personally.

Its that mentality that has us in this position int he first place.

 

[hoss]

Its a stark comparison of what can be done with a team with similar resourcing, with the same geographical advantages/disadvantages without crap excuses and incompetent management.

To be fair no matter who won today would have pissed me off. Every premiership someone else wins is one that we didn't and we are not remotely close.

Gotta stop playing little brother.

One day we will be there again

We’ll just take it easy on yourself tonight.

You bet.

The comments about the 'luck', and 'umpires', and whatever other junk discrediting the Eagles win proves that it is not I who has the little brother complex.

That Pies runner will be looking for a new job on Monday.

Calling it luck is a just not true though.

Unless some teams are just more lucky than others for some magical reason.

Luck is always an underappreciated factor. Always.

Absolutely spot on. Some people vent by being the victim and claiming that West Coast got lucky in the hope that we will get 'luckly' one day; but that's not how premierships are won. Modern premierships are won by teams that have high skill levels and can actually kick winning scores in a GF.

I live right next to the G and very noisy outside right now. So hoping for Pies win but you gotta give credit where it's due to bloody Eagles...Dammit!

Guys there's a melt thread if you need it. Keep this thread on-topic and about the grand final thanks. And if you're going to take pot shots towards other posters don't be surprised if your name ends up in red.

Former AFL player, current Collingwood VFL player Alex Woodward. Might be looking for a new footy team for next year too.

It’s like a bad marriage - if you’re that unhappy just leave ...

 

[halalsnackpack]

Sad but gotta give respect to the Eagles for that. I just hope that we are in that position soon

 

[FreoGirl]

Well I thought Mayne played well - am disappointed for him

No worries. No more melts in this thread from me but equally pot shots regarding being weak and needing to support another team and pissing off are still pot shots.

He would have wanted them to either win or lose by two goals or more. Alas...

Pies should be ashamed of themselves. Six goals up and went to sleep for the rest of the afternoon.

All that being said - cracking game. Amazing to see the number of Eagles supporters quickly deleting a year's worth of Sheed abuse on their social media feeds.

There was some bizarre coaching decisions by Buckley that helped the Eagles come back. I can't understand putting Cox in the ruck for so much of the game unless Grundy was injured.

[Scham]

Too many!

If ever there's an excuse to stop surfing the net it's this.

West coast have never had to wait more than 12 years for a premiership. The last two separated by 12 years.

Abbasolutely. I dislike the Egirls with a passion but will concede they are a very professional outfit who expect to be in finals EVERY YEAR and from there launch for a tilt at a flag. Its to do with the culture and expectation from the board down the supporters. 32 yrs , 7GFs for 4 Flags. Dockers 24yrs, 1 GF, 0 flags. we need to improve from board level down.
