Well done Eagles

[mark73]

North certainly didn't deserve to have their season finish like that but at least there will be no "what ifs" about this exit.
The Roos are clearly going places but there was just too few on board today.

No, we actually deserved everything we got.

Well done eagles! Very much deserved, I hope you guys go deep into September and knock out those front running pies!

You guys have some serious talent all across the park and you destroyed us all in the facets off the game. A few of our boys could take a leaf out of your book with their running ability and skill. If you guys had LeCras, Kennedy and Nicoski all year I reckon you would have easily made top 2. Very impressive outfit.

And congrats to big coxy on his 250th. He is a champion.

Great win by you guys, you completely pantsed us today. You guys were simply too big too strong and too good. Good luck next week against the filth and for the rest of the finals.

 

[SwiftforPM]

Great win by us, I was seriously disappointed with Norths endeavour it was way off finals intensity, it actually felt like watching a home and away game and a soft one at that.
Crap effort North - you should be embarrassed!

Jumping in front of a bullet is gutsy. Standing up to bullies is gutsy. Venturing into Darling's tent is gutsy.

Writing a nice message on an opposition board after a loss from behind the anonymity of a keyboard is pretty easy; let's not oversell it haha.

Let's call it...a nice gesture.

'Tis a rare thing, gotta encourage it

I agree with the sentiments of my fellow North posters.

I was expecting a really solid and close contest today. But unfortunately we were out-muscled and out-worked by a well drilled unit.

Just on that 'well drilled unit'. I firmly believe that Woosha has done a great job again this year. You look at the key loss of LeCras at the beginning of the year and injuries to key players throughout the year and Woosha has done extremely well under some duress.

Kudos. Good luck for the rest of the year.

You guys were outstanding. Hopefully your style can adapt well to the G next week. Would love to see ya SMASH the Pies. Not to mention, setting up a mouthwatering prelim against the Swans would great.

 

[Natho]

Tough day for the rooboys but you had a great end to the season bar today of course. From the team that was belted by the hawks early in the season who would have thought they would show such great character.

 

[tonayz]

On a similar note, just watched Scott's post-match press conference and for someone who must have been seething, carried himself well. He laid it out plainly that we cashed in on our early efforts later in the game, and didn't mask over the teams' deficiencies. Will take them far I feel.

Oh and Swallow will be a champion if he isn't one already.

 

[Boozeroo]

Sorry for a poor effort WC, loks like we hit the wall a few weeks ago. Good luck for the rest of the finals.

As much as I enjoyed the flogging.... There was this little old lady, around mid 80's, fully Rooed up from head to toe... All by her self in a sea of eagle supporters..... Was hoping for a close game for her so she didn't feel like she wasted her pension.

 

[mezaire]

Well played North supporters and congrats on a year that is hopefully a stepping stone for a great club to go further in September in future years.

Swallow and Ziebell are two players to build a premiership side around, just need some small fwd's who can kick!!

Love the way she goes about it.

Congrats on the win, was a right ole pulling down of the pants. Make sure you take that momentum next week and pump the pies.

 

[Dark Sharks]

How was Bruce hanging Lynch for attacking the ball and tim for calling Cox a show pony for hitting the post.Bias commentery as usual. Dennis will never get a sun tann he is so far up someones a

What the hell are you on about mate, Bruce and Dennis are the best commentary team by far beacause they AREN'T biased. Bruce isn't very football savvy, he just gets excited and Dennis is from WA, Tim just loves Darls so i don't think theres any need to pull the 'commentators hate us' card.

Not until we have Luke Darcy calling the Collinwood game on saturday anyway..

 

[chubbspeterson]

No need for this.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

north supporters wishing us well after that shallacking. respect.

all the best for next year

 

[Smotie]

Yeah bad luck North.

You guys have some good players you can build around for the future. Thanks for the "nice ballsy gestures"

 

[mark73]

I'm not Jesus.

I beg to differ, my son.

Not to mention some forwards in general who can do the same. I think we have them, it was just a shit day.

No need for this.

Yeah, well, there actually is.

Crikeym I'm agreeing with you far too often, of late, for my liking. I need to book myself in somewhere and get checked out.

I remember a lot of North supporters poo pooing the thought of Lynch being chased by North a couple of years ago, yet he's probably exactly the type of foyle that Petrie needs.

I'm still pretty happy with our tall forwards despite what happened yesterday. It was an abomination, but their performances against so called good sides has been pretty decent in the latter half of the year. We'll take him if you don't want him though

But what would they want for him?

He's a free agent, so can walk. I don't expect him to, but it means it's only a matter of what a club offers him financially that is what you have to give up. The AFL provide a compensation pick. A couple of years ago he would have cost a lot more.

Again, I think we're pretty happy with the development situation with our tall forwards, so I don't think there would be a lot of interest. Isn't he linked with Collingwood anyway? Mind you, isn't everyone, always?
