Watch the highlights on afl.com

Only time u hear G.Lyon is moaning in the background when we score a goal and excitement in his voice about NNs injury.

Wanker.

Lyon made a whole bunch on insightful points throughout the game - like when the Eagles should kick it long into the 50 really fast, except for when they shouldn't. And how they should kick more directly to their forwards, except when they shouldn't. Or how they needed to lower their eyes, except when they shouldn't.

Waste of time.

Yup - he was consistently inconsistent with those arguments all afternoon. Very strange.

Not sure if bias, but the underreaction to Duggan's mark was astonishing. Should be a contender for mark of the week. Saved a certain goal.

Reaction from the commentators was like he took a chest mark.
Exactly. I couldn't believe this too. How high was the level of difficulty for that mark! Total silence on it from the commentary box... You'd think they were on Eddy's payroll.

West Coast did smack Melbourne in the 1994 Prelim Final. I can't remember if he played in the game, but that might've done it.
Think he did. Kicked 10 v footscray the previous week then when faced with McIntosh, Brennan, Jakovich, McKenna and Woosh he pooed his pantaloons

Two great games and I was at both. Hope we have a similar end to the season this year.
Beating a Victorian team by 80 points in a GF? That is something dreams are made of :D Aside from beating Freo in a Grand Final, my goodness, couldn’t think of anything better (in a footy sense)!

Garry Lyon in todays game was horrifically biased. Mispronouncing NN's name, constantly groaning when ever a WC player goes near it, questioning every WC free kick even though we got reemed by the umps for a good amount of that game. Watch him be the first to say how sad it is that NN has gone down when he's made half a TV career personally attacking/potting him and most of the players we think of as genuine superstars from our own team.

WCE got angry with the media at the airport trying to video Nic. Pushing cameras away. You dont see that with us.
Good.

Those flogs making a dollar at what is likely one of the lowest points in NN's career, campaigners can go play in traffic.

**** Gary Lyon. He was over the top talking shit about Schofield all game too. Like he had discovered our weakest link or something and was being an absolute prick about it.

BTW I also noticed that Huddo isn't having that great a year commentary-wise either. Like his heart isn't in it any more or at the moment, and he should be wary that he's spending so much time paired up with unprofessional and/or bitter campaigners like Lyon and Mcguire etc, less they rub off on him.

Lyon acted like Schofield was some slow plodder. Clearly hasn't seen Schofield run before

Was the same with Rioli’s first goal. You could hear Lyon in the background give a bit of a hmph.

Then De Goey kicks a similar goal, weaving around players and they lose their s**t.
