Game Day Collingwood v West Coast - First Semi-Final @ MCG 5.45PM WST

[ziad]

Midfield too young - we knew that
Emberley and JK unfit - we knew that
We miss one big strong very good midfielder
showed spirit and were never blown away.
Kerr and our Defence outstanding.
Hill better that Ebert on the big stage.

bring on 2013

 

[Forward Press]

If the injuries stay away, this will be a monster side in 2013.

Bank on it.

 

[Chewy!]

How many marks did we achieve inside our forward 50 all night?

 

[BLPC08]

You guys have the best young talent in the comp. Gaff, Shuey and Brennan are gems - so frustrating that one of your most experienced, Embley, f***ed up so bad in the last quarter to gift them the win.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Darcy is a peice of shit, i would very much like to take his mother out to dinner and never call her again.

Who exactly does kerr have to root for a free kick? Gets ragdolled and doesn't even get bought dinner first.

Ginnity take a bow, apart from that last torpedo to nobody you played a very good game son
Nicnat go take a good hard look at yourself son, i'm starting to think you really are only good against shit teams.
Scooter should hold his head high, dunno who he was tagging but he's a tackling machine.
Eagles also need to be schooled on rushing the balll over for a point. Seriously, cost us 2 goals

Cheers for the game day thread efforts this year q

No worries, you're welcome mate.

 

[Juddy88]

The momentum changed when Embley spudded the kick that lead to a turnover and goal to Collingwood. WC were looking the goods till that point. Embley's major **** up killed WC.

Hey, woah, don't you go bagging one of our players!!

Absolutely ****ed it for us, shocking game and just did that to top it off. He's not the only one tonight, but that was unforgivable.

 

[Bert Ritto]

LOL at people thinking I go for Geelong. If anyone cared to read my posts you'd find I don't follow a team. I follow football. And last week Geelong choked against Freo as well as North against WC. And now tonight WC had their turn. That's football. Mods and WC supporters on here are quick to cry before discussing the game. On a football forum! OK.

 

[QS]

Got as close to the premiership as Eagles did- i.e nowhere

I know our culture of success is hard to resist, but seems like you're in the wrong board sunshine.

 

[groga]

Are midfield is so weak.

 

[EagleCanival]

next year with LeCras things will be better they wil be a lot better if we can pick up a quality midfielder who can kick like a goddard or even moloney. we should really go after one of these two it will be hard to get close to us if so

 

[Wettoast11]

Don't think we will reach the 8 next year. We had a almost best squad and we sucked. JK isn't as good as he was last year.

 

[TradeDraft]

Great Game Boys

 

[Juddy88]

One ok game is not worth another season of trash.

With a few mins left he just kicks and hopes.

Terrible player.

I've given him as much as anyone this season, but his last month or so has been pretty good.

He won't be going anywhere next year. I'd rather a side full of Paddys who try their arse off than half a side who collapse under ****ing pressure.

We're the most lenient on here. Read the rules. Show respect.

Bay 13 may be to your liking.

 

[QS]

I could care less. Just here to talk about football. WC lost badly tonight and your team was outplayed. If that's a ban-worthy statement then this isn't the place I though it was.

You can discuss it in Bay 13 (which encompasses the main board or the bay these days). Team boards after a finals loss is not the place to do so.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Didn't get to watch it in the end, but followed scores the whole time.

No doubt I'm less gutted than I would have been had I watched it, but I'm not really that disappointed.

We weren't going to win the flag this year, and that was probably the closest we've come to winning a Melbourne final since our flag. We will be better for this season and better for this game.

Next year boys, honestly. It could be really special.

 

[QS]

Robbo sticking the boot in. Flog.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Don't think we will reach the 8 next year. We had a almost best squad and we sucked. JK isn't as good as he was last year.

You do remember that he had no pre season this year then proceeded to miss a good chunk of the year with an ankle injury right? Of course he wasn't going to be as good as he was last year, let him heal up over the off season then get a full pre season and season into him then we'll talk

 

[dawsman]

A very proud Eagles supporter here. That was a great game to watch (except for Embley's brain fade). A great effort by the boys over the whole season, given the injuries they've had to deal with. Looking forward to next year.

The guy is injured. Great effort to get out there.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Guttered at the moment just because most of our players just didn't show up.

 

[Astro35]

Lost badly?? It was 13 points in a close game. I think u be trolling!!

 

[eagles rule]

well we lost

Good post doc. I feel exactly the same. I'm more gutted about the fact we came so close again to that MCG Collingwood win, than the fact we don't advance. Like you said we werent going to win the flag this year.

Next year, injuries permitting, we will be massive.
