[#26]

You need to recognise sarcasm and humour.

OK

True this.
In the last five years the Eagles have been absolutely rorted and only had the 5th most preferential treatment by the umpires, with a differential of barely 500 free kicks over Richmond in that period. Bloody VFL. It's so unfair.

The AFL free kick ladder of the last five years

All the numbers between 2017 and 2021.

So that statistic also considers 1. WC always had elite kpp since 2018 and 2. Play a soft style of barely tackling so when are they going to give away free kicks? Much like Richmond always get more frees against than for (other than vs WC) due to their game style

 

[kaiserchief13]

But you've hardly been reamed. Unless by reamed you mean not as heavily favoured as you've become accustomed to.

No by reamed i mean reamed. WC have been umpired differently to their opposition since 2018

 

[Osho]

Not really,,

It's the style of play they wanted to change.

So, tiges aren't in a rebuild? After 3 flags mind you, I'd fancy a bit of that.

Those other sides rebuilding before the rule changes either got lucky with a guess how the new rules would play out, bloody hell, they knew the rule changes before the AFL. Fjyck me Oracle, I've been red pilled.

I've always felt West Coast are umpired differently to their opposition when playing in Western Australia

Was true prior to 2019, but they also always have gotten shafted on the road, which nobody mentions. 2019 onward shafted home and away

So if the rules weren't introduced to change the style of play, why were they?

Obviously, according to your conspiracy theory, to help the OTHER clubs who by chance had already started recruiting the right type of player, which RFC didn't have. That's why, according to your theory, other clubs adapted, but yours couldn't.

So let me ask you a question - is RFC in a rebuild or not? Because, you know, if they are it would suggest one thing, but if they are not it would suggest quite another thing, as to why the Tiges have declined so quickly.

Man I don't know why you're going on a tangent
It's very simple really.. We were a forwards defensive based

What has that got to do with my comment? WE are in a bit of a rebuild- not as much as id like but it's there.
I said the AFL changed the rules because of Richmond, not because it's a conspiracy and they wanted to stop us. NO in fact it was to move the game along because of our style of locking the ball into our forward half.

 

[roacheee]

we'll win another 4 before you do.
you're s**t and won't make the eight this year
at least we know we're not that good this year ffs we lost to the crows
