Operation Kill Spangher

[Makka]

Makka you do realise the Eagles have played a game when they only kicked 1 goal as well?

Of course. We have had some dreadful games over the years. But we didn't do it last week! Let us have our fun! Plus, if you keep playing your kids we might actually have a chance at beating you. If we don't, well, you know then you'll have your revenge to hurl the crap back! And I'm sure it will be 10 fold!

Very inaccurate I must admit. Against the best team in the league for a couple of years. Yet still we managed more than one goal.

Oh and 22 scoring shots versus 8.

Adelaide are the form team of the comp along with Collingwood...

Adelaide at AAMi is one of the hardest jobs in the comp right now. Watch them probably beat the Saints this weekend.

Also,

Freo has at least 8 of its best 22 missing. Can we imagine an Eagles side with no

Cox, Kerr, Priddis, Embley, Glass, Lecras, Kennedy, Hurn...

It would be a similar story if not worse, our younger guys are a class above yours at the moment

What happened at Windy Hill in 1989?

It's just another 4 points fellas. And for WC its another 0 points.

i'll grudgingly pay that....

WC fans like myself do just rate it as another 4 points, if we win the premiership.... in seasons like this and the last, the derbies ARE important

 

[samseenee]

I see and how many first year players are Freo playing this week?

Who would you rather us play?
Head, Murphy, Drum, Gilmore?
FFS then you would be saying we really are tanking cause we're playing the duds... **** we cant win either way idiot!

Interesting.

You picked 3 of our best kids in our best 8 and then question our kids? Seems odd.

Last week the Eagles had the following players out due to injury:

Cox, Kerr, Hunter, Waters, Staker, Jones, McNamara and then we had Natanui, Shuey, Swift (thats our 3 top picks from last year) and S Selwood.

You reckon we are any better with say Cox Kerr Hunter Waters Selwood Shuey and Nick Nat?

The reality is that West Coasts outs last week were likely the equal of Freo's and arguably better.

As for your kids v our kids, well frankly we have been hearing that for 10+ years. History suggests that Freo hype their kids far more than we do and until they have been in the system a while its pretty hard to tell who is in front but considering that our list of kids (22 & under) with 50 games or less contains:

Hurn, LeCras, Kennedy, McKinley, Ebert, Masten, MacKenzie, Brown, Selwood, Spangher, Cockie, Swift, Naitanui, Notte, Jones, Shuey and Smith.

v the Freo list:

Ibbotson, Palmer, Drum, Mayne, Hill, Suban, Hinkley, DeBoer, Ballantyne, O'Brien, Clarke, Pearce, Walters, Ruffles,

As I said, we could have an argument, but certainly I wouldnt be swapping West Coasts for Freos.

On your "form team of the comp" comment, I say BS ... St Kilda are clearly the form side - they havent lost - WC played them on the weekend.
