Game Day Eagles v Blues

[Quinz]

Imagine letting Gibbons and Newman kick 7 between them. Follows Mihocek, Cox, Zurhaar and Fritsch as unlikely players to kick 3+ against us in the last month.

 

[EagleJack42]

Far out you sooks. We won. We're currently 2nd with same wins as Geelong and likely Brisbane. You all realize that Brisbane and Geelong each other right? And Brisbane also play Richmond? We win our games regardless of % and we finish 2nd.

 

[SammaGilberto]

Good win fellas, Liam Ryan is a absolute jet, best of luck in the finals, go well!

 

[Forward Press]

Jesus Christ you guys are incredibly fickle. Carlton aren't easy beats any more, road wins are always valuable.

If someone told you we'd win by 24 points at the start of the week with no injuries every one of you would have taken it. Top two is in our hands as Geelong and Brisbane are equal with us in wins and play each other in the run home.

 

[ioppolo]

I would've been happy with a 99-63 win. Percentage would've been about 117.8 I think. ****ing shit last 1:30 that puts a huge dampener on a good win otherwise.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

rofl no one is catching Brisbane's percentage, they have GC next week, so stop worrying.

Mate three weeks ago Collingwood were home, GWS we’re dead and buried, and top two was gone for us on the back of a one point loss. This season is not predictable. Brisbane also have Geelong and Richmond, so what could their percentage be after those?

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

That's such a classic Eagles performance.

 

[Seadog]

Lazy lairising crap, Willi needs to just do the simple things properly and leave the globetrotter crap for when there is no other option. Hurn had a shocker, Sheed was worse 2 dropped chest marks under no pressure, was he drunk or something? the ball bounced around Shuey all day, Cameron disappeared again. Other than that happy to take the win.

 

[Gaffy Duck]

Happy with the 4 points. Umpires can go eat poo

Good job boys.

 

[Candiru]

You do realise we won right?

At this stage of the season, there is a higher pass mark than simply winning against the side 16th on the ladder.

 

[Forward Press]

I would've been happy with a 99-63 win. Percentage would've been about 117.8 I think. ******* s**t last 1:30 that puts a huge dampener on a good win otherwise.

I cannot believe an AFL side conceded two goals in two minutes! It's something that should not happen at this level!

There's nothing fickle about it. We should have put them away harder.

Of course, happy to have the win and we move on quickly. But we should have gone on with it.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I'll take the win, but geeze, I'm disappointed in that last quarter

 

[Biggie]

We could have done a Geelong and lost.

But we didn't. Percentage won't matter one jot if we win the last three anyway.

 

[Smeg Head]

Losing 2 quarter to those pokie rooting vermin displeases me greatly.

 

[Candiru]

We could have done a Geelong and lost.

But we didn't. Percentage won't matter one jot if we win the last three anyway.

Yeah, a win is preferable to a loss. I don't think anyone disputes that.

 

[EagleJack42]

But we didn't. Percentage won't matter one jot if we win the last three anyway.

100% this. If we win all 3 games then we're either first or second. Would prefer 2nd and Geelong at home atm as they are struggling atm.

 

[Gaffy Duck]

We could have won by more but at least we ****ing won. Especially with the umps rimming Carlton all day long.

Carlton aren’t a pushover, they stuck it to us the whole game. Boys got the job done

We can’t control other results all we can do is ensure we get the 4 points

 

[madfx]

Bank the 4 and back the boys to just keep getting it done

Percentage is HUGE. I have very bad memories of 2007. We have to be ruthless at this time of year.

 

[campaigner___]

We could have done a Geelong and lost.

It will, because Brisbane play Gold Coast at home 3 more times before end of the H/A season

 

[archiemoses]

Just imagine the sick burnouts the Carlton fans will be doing on the way home

 

[Coasters7]

Equal top of the ladder with:

Geelong: North (60/40 only because Cats at home), Brisbane (win-win), Carlton (win)

Brisbane: Gold Coast (win), Geelong (win-win), Richmond (win-win)

Plus we also get to play Richmond ourselves. The fixtures are definitely in our favour, % is nice but it really shouldn’t end up mattering.

 

[Candiru]

100% this. If we win all 3 games then we're either first or second. Would prefer 2nd and Geelong at home atm as they are struggling atm.

And what happens if we lose to Richmond at the MCG?

Then percentage could very well be the difference between 2nd and 4th.
