You referring to the 1987 original song?
I actually loved the original! I remember watching the 1994 GF as a kid and singing it loud with my dad when they beat Geelong.
"For years they took, the best of us"

Watch "West Coast Eagles original theme song (Lyrics)" on YouTube

This should really be the song.

Thanks for posting this.

The bass-line is so ******* sick tho.

The bass-line is so ******* sick tho.

The lyrics, the baseline, the tune, it trully was up there with the best. I really don't know why people * with classics!

Thanks Eagles now we have to play a fired up Port on the rebound out for PF revenge. Would have preferred they'd won today so as to maybe be a bit more complacent.

Won't find many WCE disagree with you. Just change the the xenophobic lyrics to suit this day and age and you're done.

Ah the old throwing the ball, or umpiring frees, it never gets old from the losing side.

There was plenty of throws in this game by both teams ignored

Its a blight on the game.

Thanks Essendon, now we have to play a fired up Saints next week.

Yep i absolutely hate this.

Sympathise with the umps becausr it is incredibly hard to spot, but imo it should be treated like staging- if video replays show someone deliberately threw the ball in close and got away with it, they should initially cop a fine and repeat offenders should be suspended.

You can't suspend someone for incorrect disposal. That's ridiculous.

They never had a problem calling them as throws in days gone by

It's definitely a directive to "keep the game moving", a lot of the absolute trash we see can be laid at the foot of this altar. Incorrect disposal, pinging blokes htb with no prior because the ball stops moving etc.

West Coast are extremely late to the throw party if anything. We should be doing a lot more of it, given the way the game is being adjudicated.

 

[Roobs321]

Gee it has been easy for Eagles fans in the last decade, as we usually play an attractive brand of football win (most often) or lose. Ala the 2018 PF first half, that was one for the vault. Felt like the opponent wasn't even out there in the first half, a side who has lead the ladder for 20 consecutive rounds of football. We have enough decent players in the side right now that a few scratchy individual performances can be worked around.

Nice to see Jamie Cripps

back to his deadly finishing self. Petrucelle still a passenger liability but he got involved more and did some nice springy things, you can see the pressure link-up assist which Simpson is trying to get out of him, also felt he was a bit unlucky with the umps. Sad to see the Shuey injury, as he returned admirably and ads that hero factor that can be the difference between a contender and premier. Nice to see Gaffy and Redden getting back into full throttle engine action, and Brander showing some initiative got some man love from Darce.

Port battling on in the second half was a little annoying but expected (that Todd Marshall

was particularly icy with his set shots).

Along with the higher scoring and freer ball movement, the set shot kicking seems better across the comp this year too. Likewise, the "make amends" after a clanger feels more nid nowadays.

Thanks Essendon, now we have to play a fired up Saints next week.

You could forfeit and still win

 

[frenchconnection]

No surprises here. The skis are always out in Perth.
Won't learn much about the soft zoning defence until they play away.

In case you didn't realise we played away last week lol!
