Tonight's Derby a classic?

[Johnson#26]

"West Coast wins a derby classic" trumpets the AFL.com.au headline.

I haven't seen the game, but with WCE leading for most of the way, and running home 31 point victors...was it really a classic?

 

[Timmsy]

Not really. A bit firey, but that's about all.

It was a very poor game of footy, the Dockers were shocking and there was absolutley no flow in the match. Probably the worst derby i have seen. By the way i laughed when i read that title on afl.com.au

 

[EagleMan87]

No.

Classic in that fact that WC won by a large-ish margin(circa 2001)

 

[97-98]

Sloppy, error ridden game.

 

[banzai]

Definetly not a classic, Freo should have been out of the game a long time before they were.

 

[E Shed]

Awful game, badly umpired, shocking skills from both sides but mainly Freo.

 

[Bretski]

I thought it had its moments, good game

 

[Johnson#26]

Mmm thanks for that, guys. The Doggies/Saints match this evening was also quite bland and uninspiring (especially in the light of the Dons/Blues classic earlier), and after watching parts of the Derby on the TV in the breaks, then reading the headline, I was left scratching my head...

No, Freo was crap

I was at the match and it seemed he was on Pavlich all game, why?

Pavlich played?

Was Tarrant a late withdrawal cause I didn't see him all night?

Riiight.

 

[spitlizard]

The scoreline flattered us. We were crap and WCE were better.

 

[Dippers_Mullet]

According to the TV and pretty much all other media outlets, everything new nowdays is the best thing ever in the history of the world. Ever.

Seeing who the best Fullback of the year is.

Cheers.

Glass is great, easily the best in the business.

 

[squealer]

Awful skills from Freo for most of the night.

 

[TheBigUnit]

Messy game, sloppy skills and overumpired, but decent in patches. Absolutely no where near a classic!

 

[Freo Hitman]

No Classic.
Freo were lucky they kicked straight and the WCE kicked like Sumich in his hey day

 

[TheBigUnit]

Glass is great, easily the best in the business.

He was good tonight, but helped a lot by the poor delivery to Pav.

 

[Freo Hitman]

He was good tonight, but helped a lot by the poor delivery to Pav.

Pav should have had a few free kicks tonite but your right about his service. A limp wristed effort from the Freo midfield

Yeah i agree that Glass was helped by our poor midfield tonight but i still think week in week out Glass is the best fullback in the comp. I cant remember the last time he was beaten in a match. Was so crap early in his career as well.

a classic was last years round 5 game. now thats a classic.

tonights one wasnt really exciting. both sides were messy. hope the one later this year will be more entertaining.
