Game Day West Coast vs "The Campaigners"

[EagleShore]

If we continue playing Kennedy we are effectively playing 21 vs 22. Some serious decisions need to be made.

JK takes up their best defender. No team will leave him to their number 2 or 3; this frees up Darling and Allen/Waterman.

 

[Seadog]

Jeese there's some children around here today, I'm proud of the way the boys fought back at the end.
Only a couple brain fades from our defenders away from winning that.

 

[bombard]

Tommy B will have a long flight home.

 

[Monocle]

Same tale , if you don't play four quarters of football you will find it difficult to beat the top sides.

We get in front, ease of a tad and KAPOW we get over run.

It's been the story all season long.

None more so that the Collingwood game.

Simpson has a short period of time to get the collective concentration back to where it should be, otherwise its going to be close but not close enough.

Honourable losses ****** suck when you know that some better application and concentration could avoid them.

 

[Youdy]

Yep terrible errors, but there were a few Hurn errors in there too. Not our day.

Shuey/Hurn with multiple dumb turnovers

Hickey in that first half as well but you expect it from him

How many times did Gaff kick it 30m down the line to noone's advantage

 

[hudson2006]

Glad we threw everything at them and had a redhot crack there at the end. The wet takes away our skills so the better contested side won, but we made them work bloody hard.

Looking forward to the finals.

He had a bad game today... But to say he can’t handle pressure...

He can't.

One of the last players I want the ball in hand when the game is hot. Far too slow to make a quick smart decision. Not a bright player. Usually he just under so much pressure so we can hide it. Today we seen his flaws.

Have never seen Barrass s**t hmself so much

 

[the harry]

I agree. But we needed the four points because ATM we’re travelling week one of the finals and it won’t be to Melbourne.

Hope that experience plays a part of that happens and we get the win.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I'm here to listen to your Barrass melts campaigners...

Ok, we will just forget his finals series last year then.

 

[frenchconnection]

Anyone have any idea why we look so bad in wet weather when Perth winters are fkin miserable and should provide plenty of practice.

Ok for us who didn't manage to watch the game what was the final consensusat the end of the day - are we just not good enough this year (perhaps the hunger is not there) or did we play like dogs!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

So do we wanna play Cats or Lions in week 1? We play like s**t at the Cattery, so depends on if the VFL schedules the game at the MCG or not.

 

[amazingjoshy]

boys gave everything today...13 down in the wet with momentum against, aman down, and still fought back...

if ur disappointed at that effort ur a fairweather, plain and simple

 

[Captain chaos]

Great game guys.. awesome to watch.

Straight kicking from u guys and that rioli in the back in the last... wow!

Thought soldo did quite well.

You can beat them again in the dry!

 

[twce13]

Honestly tho, im backing us in against cats at g or lions at gabba. Just gotta make sure we get the w next week

 

[kranky al]

Summed up the Eagles season well. We're either three good quarters and one s**t, or one good quarter and three s**t.

Unfortunately it was the latter who played today.

Our last quarter - in the wet was great - coupla uncharacteristic mistakes from barrass

 

[omarlittle1]

Richmond haven’t left their home for two months, just been sitting and waiting for the comp to come to them, we stuck fat right to the end even including whatever those unforced mistakes were and the unmitigated buggery from the umpiring department. We lost by a goal. We’re a great side, we’re in it all the way til the end.

I agree with you. But today, we simply weren't good enough. Had our chances and I think we can take Richmond, they were very fortunate to win. Unfortunately though for us today; Simply not good enough.

 

[BrotherDodge]

Damn shame we didn't get it done, but I think it answers the question of whether we can beat Richmond at the MCG- we absolutely can. Give us a dry day in September and we'll be all over them.

 

[onebillsdrive]

Last goal Richmond kicked was undoubtedly Nelsons fault.....is a liability but hey .it is what it is

 

[Dark Sharks]

No such thing as an "honorable loss" when you're the premier.

We should be able to beat any campaigner, anywhere, anytime.

This. That was hugely deflating

It won't be at gjhjkgbndkjdbnk stadium.

 

[kranky al]

By far the best player for Richmond was...

THE UMPIRES

what a bunch of flogs at lease 2 critical goals!!!!!

RICHMOND MVP UMPIRES

Dont kid yourself - richmond kick straight and we lose by a bit.

There was a few horrors went their way - the only thing i hated was they kept going for the boundary line and not getting deliberate.

The VFL won that game for them at the end. Different story if we didn't fight back at the end and made it close, but their s**t free kicks was the difference imo.
