They wouldn't be wrong there suma.

Obviously Hackdorn used all his positive superlatives on the mob up the road. They are going to win a premiership soon apparently, so all is good.

Hackdorn, good chance i'd give him a smack ala Harbajan if I got face to face.
And if your reading this Hackdorn, you better believe it !!
Slimes is a joke, with a personal vendetta. Even the Worst Australian gave us a better run.

I dislike the weevils as much as you lot but lets get some reality into the situation.

Weevils won the premiership in 2006, 2007 they lost Cousins and JUDD. The press is going to cut them slack especially in a two team town. Freo hasnt unfortunately got any runs on the board.

Until we win the cup or at least consistently finish in the top 4 and the 8 in the other years we wont get the respect.

 

[Freeeoo]

Easy... Don't buy it.
I stopped buying it about 12 months ago. My Sundays are so much better for it.

"Gulf between best and worst"title was surprising and singling out of Macca was also disappointing.

1 point - can the 'gulf' get any bigger?

I was really disappointed today also. If that had been WC, it would have said "New Breed Dynasty on Cusp of Greatness"...

And I don't give a rat's about respect. I care about credit where it's due. And I'm over WC being crap because they lost a couple of players. They got Josh Kennedy, who was BOG for mine last night, in a field of 'premiership players', who were bloody hopeless. At least Freo looks like it's on a learning curve after getting a shellacing...

 

[Killer eagle]

The papers over here have always been pretty one sided.

If you where to add up articles to WC and Freo over the last few years, at a guess ild say it would be about 70/30.

The amount of times during the week there will be a back page story about WC, then a couple pages in a page dedicated to us, then a small 3 paragraph story about Freo a few pages in.

I think they are pretty bious.

 

[estibador]

So even in France the eagles hog the back page?

Things are worse than I thought.

 

[dominguez]

Negative, negative, negative !!!

What do you expect, we are 1-5 and in the bottom four.

Gallant losses were acceptable from 95 to 2002, but not anymore.

I have the same respect for West Coast as the 4 coaches (Malthouse, Matthews, Roos and I think Sheedy) who all intimated in press reports that West Coast benefitted performance from their drug years. Then you have WAIS coming out saying what everyone knows, that Amphetamines is performance enhancing.

Remember West Coast's talent was to win all those close games (34 by under 4 goals or less in the last three years - for all those West Coast trolls on this board) by "gut running". By running over sides in the second half when everyone else tired.

Now West Coast are being so closely monitored week in week out, and rightly so, that they ... umm .. have no more gut running. I wonder why ??

So many other football people have noted it, not just those coaches but Ackermannis, Grant Thomas etc. Thank god that dark era is over and we can get back to wins without an asterix next to them ..

 

[Lach72]

Oh bullshit Iscah.

Take that crap elsewhere for a change will you?

Well I would expect a balanced account of the game on Friday night, but I got Macca's a has been. Big Deal. I would have thought a rational analysis of why Freo didn't beat the reigning Premier.
Not the billshit drivel I got, and we are 1 and 5, but we've only been done by two pretty smart teams by 17 and 1 respectively in the last two weeks.
I might be stupid, but that looks more promising than the other team in town. Anyway, its not about them, its about balance and the slimes has outdone themselves. Congrats.

Iscah,I have to say I am in full agreeance with you on this one.It is not only people from the WAIS who have said it but drug experts who have said the same thing.
It certainly does leave a big question mark over the success.As you say where is all the gut busting hard run now!!!!!
Gone Cousins!!!Gone Chick!!!Gone Judd.
Almost the same side as the last five years,but nowhere near the same results.MMM makes you wonder eh.

 

[Belnakor]

The Weagles have been getting absolutely flogged recently. Gut running has ____ all to do with it. They are just playing like a team with no heart who don't give a shit. Half the players in their side have the aura of "We've done enough in 2006"

 

[anchor man]

I had to laugh when Cox was asked on the footy show the other night what sort of press the team had been getting since the drug issue.His response was something like yeah we have been copping a pretty hard time of it.What a joke.
The press are white washing the whole Eagles set up.Lots of feel good stories,lots of future champions at the club.Bleach and white wash.
Benakor I think that in years gone by they would been able to hard run their way out of the positions they ahve been in so far this season.So I do think that it does have something,maybe everything,to do with it.

 

[Alvin Purple]

Mmmmm I wonder what would have been on the cover if Carr had been reported for punching and Farmer for a headbutt.
Probably would have overlooked that in favour of an article about Braun being a has been.

Very good point I reckon.
The Weagles in my office reckon there is nothing in the Kerr report.
Unbelievable, its German propaganda all over again !!

All true, unfortunately.

Good to see that iscah worked his '4 goals rule' into another thread, which is actually about the paper, not West Coast.

They were 10 goals + behind at 3/4 time last 2 weeks.. i dunno wtf you are smoking.

I am happy to bask in the fact the weagles have dropped their bundle. Lets not make any bullshit excuses and rewrite history. They are losing now because they don't have any heart. Our performance on the weekend was all about heart - we could easily have rolled over and gotten flogged but we came to play. You should be lauding our boys not making excuses for the weagles gutless display on the weekend.

I did crack a smile when Cox said that. They have gotten nothing but puff pieces about so and so's new girlfriend and how the club is "coming down hard on drugs" the entire year.

Belnakor,I am very happy with the performance that the boys put up on Friday night,but still have to be content with boiled lollies,no chocolate.

I am not making excuses for the Eagles performances so far this season,just POINTING out where they were,and what was the reason for their STELLAR performances in previous years.
My post is also in response to another persons post with which I agree.
Maybe you should stop smoking whatever it is that you are on and clear your head enought to read posts properly and not make assumptions,

 

[Belnakor]

Thats bullshit mate - just give them credit for their previous seasons and move on. They are a rabble now - that is enough to laugh about.

As badly as we are going (and that's pretty badly), there are two teams from WA currently sitting at 1-5, so I wouldn't laugh too hard.

Sad but true.

At least both lots of us are getting a really good look at the next lot of players coming through. I know Freo has a lot of reasons to be excited (Palmer, Mayne, Ibbo, Warnock, Hinkley so far with BOB, Foster, Smith, Head to come soonish). From what I have seen West Coast have some gems as well.
