What happens if they finish fourth???? I think Port, or Brisbane would host...

Huh?

 

[Scotland]

On the plus side that's the 5th time this year we've scored under 50 and the first time we've won.

Naughton on the other hand...

Well that is only the second time in 2017-20 that our opponent failed to kick 5 goals (Freo did 2.19 in the derby last year). Gotta take that, even with the shortened quarters, hapless disposal sheet, opponent's helpful inaccuracy, and ghastly threat of repeating the costly final round upset of last year until midway through the final quarter.

Given this was their last game, they had the spoon on the line, and had a losing streak, they had a bit to play for as well.

Garry Lyon is doing that thing where he obsesses about one Eagles player in the hope it conceals his years of antipathy and bitterness.

Like when he decided Yeo was the best player in the comp.

Something as simple as being more direct could have won us this game. When your captain and Goldstein can’t convert from 10 out you will never win, I suspect the Eagles knew we couldn’t capitalise and sleep walked through most of this match, they would have lost against just about everyone else.

LDU, Simpkin, Perez will be good to watch next season with the retuning Cunnington, most of our experienced guys are trash though.

 

[Rich01]

If west coast serve that crud up in finals they will get smashed by six goals. Still questioning their ability to play away from home.

 

[amazingjoshy]

North broke 19 WC tackles, most for the year by quite a margin (previous was 14)

 

[Scotland]

North put a lot of balls to ground under minimal pressure. Kills you in slippery conditions.

 

[VicBased]

Awful , Awful game. We will need to do better if we are going to challenge. Thank * for Liam.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Would it be wrong for West Coast to offer Adelaide a cash incentive to win? Say, the amount they were going to pay to North to sell their home game?

I didn't realise we laid 19 tackles to break.

Wot Ahhaha? Your username suits you good choice.

World's falling apart. Coronavirus killing people. Economy in the toilet. Everyone losing their jobs.

But at least I dont support North Melbourne.

 

[TY24]

becaue then later on theres good chance we'll have to play them in perth anyway if they finish top 4, maybe even the week after

We only get a home final if we finish 5th.

 

[Scotland]

Awful , Awful game. We will need to do better if we are going to challenge. Thank fu** for Liam.

17 games, 12-5.

Other than a dominant half vs Collingwood who were missing players and a great contest vs Geelong how many of our games weren't scrappy efforts?

 

[Roobs321]

Now on to us losing a home elim against the Bulldogs again!

I was about to say the AFL integrity unit might not like that, but they are as reliable as the MRP when it comes to punishment

 

[Asapartyhat]

After losing the first three games after the restart finishing 12 and 5 is pretty good and if you are keen on the Eagles you wouldn't be to unhappy with that.
I'm happy with the Eagles and have a bit of optimism for the clubs 24th finals campaign in the AFL era.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Honestly that was an appropriately dead performance in a dead rubber. Looked flat and disinterested. Hopefully get 4 or 5 back but we will see.

Sydney might have a better shot?

It's the injuries that worry me. Finishing 5th doesn't help.

If we were at full strength, I'd give us a chance on the road against Port or Brisbane. But we haven't put ourselves in a position to have a crack at that.
