What a Win!!

[carlyp]

Wilson was alright today! I think he definately needs to get another game against North! 3 goals and 3 behinds isnt bad....could have had six if he kicked better. You cant expect him to play perfectly in his first week back after so long! Give the poor guy a chance!

I was hoping for something special but he didn't impress me at all today. And that stupid over the head effort when he had two easy passing off options was worth a dragging IMO.

24 goals and only 3 by the forwards.

The piece of play where Adkins hit Wilson on the chest from 60m away was enough for me to pick the pair of them for the rest of the year. That was the best kick to a lead I have seen all year.

I just watched a replay of Judd's 3 goals in the 2nd quarter and I've never seen a more scintillating 5 minutes from a player. I agree with Macca!! Definitely creaming your pants material

I could watch that 5 minute burst over and over and I'm a Dockers supporter

mouldy_bread, you just missed it mate.

 

[mouldy_bread]

[mouldy_bread]

Righty-o,

Think I may have to find a blank tape.. file this one away.

What a win indeed! Even better if you were at the ground - the crowd went deadly quiet within the first 5 minutes of the game. The Eagles chant was very loud - well done to the Eastern based supporters for doing a great job as always.

The old theme I want to bring back is "The Eagles have landed"

Ripper of a game - just amazing to win and in that fashion

Good thing i taped it

yeah it was great to be at the ground, all the brisbane fans were silent! and i was next to were the eagles came out from their changerooms in a group of eagles supporters, and it was LOUD! we even had the EEEEEEEAGLES chant going on in the last quarter like when its going on at subiaco, it was great!

Weagles trounce Lions - you gotta love that

I posted this on the big board but wht the heck.....
the game of the term had to be the amazing Weagles - they ditched the away jumper that looked like you vomited colours all over them - went back to the old colours and the old ways. They played better than the BOmbers in their prime - and that is my highest compliment.

How bout that Judd !!!!!!! Now I get it - everyone has been raving about him for yonks!!! i can even hear Timmy Watson sitting on the couch saying "Chris Judd blah bhlah..." And my fave Wirrapunda scoops up the ball with one hand and weaves effortless out of the way of 4 or 5 Brisbane thugs. Jacovich was great - like old times with Cousins. A really great game - I had to waste time yesterday I could ill afford. The Weagles were humiliating the Lions on one channel and on SBS they had an old World Cup game between the lean mean bad Cameroon Lions and Argentina where I could finally see what the fuss was about Maradona. He looks like he stepped in off the street but could weave and duck like Judd and Wirrpunda!!!

Good stuff.

Definitely! Stopped wearing pants after my second viewing to prevent the large load ... of washing.

I was sitting with the Victorian cheer squad and most of them are women, so the missus told me I had to shout loud for the eagles because I have a booming voice but nobody could hear the women. And who am I to argue with the missus!! So today I'm voiceless but who cares!

I can tell you I got goosebumps!!

What gave the *****s was that they played the team song so soft that nobody could hear it on the ground. I was really cheesed off about this!!

yeah the sound speaker system at the gabba really bites. i couldn't hear a thing richard champion and matthew kennedy were saying at the start of the game, and you could barely hear the theme song come games end. it is pathetic really for what otherwise is a very good ground.

As a long time Gabba goer (and Lions supporter), I can tell you that the "softness" of the Eagles song was more to do with the crappy sound system than with a conspiracy.

Often, we can barely hear our own anthem and just as often the opposition's seems to come out clearer and louder.

Anyway, congratulations to the Eagles for playing a great game of footy. You were red hot all day and belted us fair and square.

Even at full strength, we would have struggled to beat you guys on the day.
