Game Day AFL 1st Elimination Final: West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood @ Optus 6.10 pm AWST Saturday 3rd of October 2020.

[BrotherDodge]

Cmon mods I know we're usually a pretty laid-back board, but the amount of oppo trolling in here is getting a bit much.

Eh, let them have their fun. Besides bastard Hawthorn, we're the most successful side of the AFL era. The taunts from loser teams mean nothing to us

 

[Tugga27]

End of the day, we were let down by our midfield. Kelly and Shuey were just terrible.

Barrass got torn a new one.
Tom Cole has fallen off a cliff.

We have 3 genuine spuds in the side being Ainsworth, Ah Chee and Petro. Honestly, whoever is responsible for giving Petro a new 3 year deal needs an arse kicking.

Apart from Yeo, pretty much at full strength.
I can see us dropping off a bit next year as I can't see where the improvement will come from.

That we have to play those spuds speaks volumes about are lack of death.

Come on Brisbane.

 

[KERRPOW]

Barass has been up and down this year. Needs to be more consistent.

 

[Tugga27]

Honest question.

Was Petro injured?

I honestly never saw him after half time.

 

[Seadog]

Ah well got to take your losses as well as your wins. To be honest if not for Nic and Liam Ryan we get done by 4-5 goals, bit of culling to do now.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Anyone thinking we lost because of the umpires is kidding themselves.

We were beaten in the middle, and couldn't kick straight when it mattered. Plus Collingwood nailed their shots.

Some amazing individual performances (Ryan, Nic Nat, Darling, Duggan) but too many underperforming.

 

[Sammy J]

Man, we had the play. We got it to our money man in the middle of the ground...and he ****ed it. I honestly thought that was going Coast to Coast and we’d get a score out of it.

 

[KERRPOW]

Because he is a ****ing downhill skiiing spud

 

[triplegee]

Umpires were sub-standard but weren't the reason we lost.

Too many players below their average, let alone their best. Kelly & Shuey both contributed very little and our backline continues to be too loose. Gov may be one of the best interceptors in the league but he's also one of the least accountable defenders going around.

Pettrucelle 8 dream team points is embarrassing. Has zero game sense.

 

[KERRPOW]

Ok. I’m off Petruccelle. Not finals standard at this stage

Not footballing standard of ANY stage.

WOW he can run really quick in a straight line....thats all.

 

[triplegee]

At the time I walked away from the TV.

That's an easy i50/ Instead we go the hail mary down the middle.

Shocking stuff.

Feel for Schoey he should of played couldnt have been worse than Ainers and Sonic.

Tough out..disappointed that all hat no cattle Mason had a big part in ending the season and that we didn’t convert the ample chances we had to get over the line..rub some dirt on the loss and get to work on ‘21 WC.

There is no fix here, we are 2nd to the ball, zero pressure from our forward line makes it near on impossible for our backs to stop this.

Give it up on the umps, we lost that, JK 3 goals 4 and two of those were set shots, which he should kick, we went missing far to much during the game and the first quarter when we needed them the mids were invisible and we let Cox kick 3 easy goals from poor work from Barrass.

Are you kidding. It is one thing for a team not to maximise their chances, and it is another thing for umpiring to swing so many crucial moments. Yes, our midfield should have been better, yes JK missed opportunities he should not have missed, and Ainsworth and ah Chee’s out on the full proved crucial. Barass was terrible all night.

That does not give the umpires a pass mark. Blatant holding the ball at half forward for pies not called. Goal to pies. Gov deliberate. Goal pies. Similar thing happens multiple times after that, no call. Blocking on Shuey when darling marks, goal pies. Blocking at every contest unnoticed, but most noticeably in last quarter when when Ryan taken out on the fifty. Somehow picked it out as a free kick to the pies at the most crucial of times, and even then marginal by the standards of the crap they don’t call.

Your first post above was irritating, but your second post is bullshit. Anyone who watched that game and does not think the umps had a massive influence on the outcome has their head up their arse. We should have won but didn’t. Our own players are to blame, but so are the umps. Fix was in early, you just didn’t see it. And for a private investigator, I would have thought you would have considered all the evidence.

Hello West Coast

 

[Astro7]

A big shout out to Gaff, NicNat and Sheppard!!
It's a tough game paved with broken dreams.
We roll on to next season, live and learn.

Every team that loses feels this exact same way.

Richmond feel like they got reamed by umps on Friday (they didn't).

I actually don't mind Petrucelle being on the list, but he isn't ready for AFL standard footy and needs to develop more.

The fact he is currently B22 is an indictment on our depth in his position.

So what are you telling me of any value, I assume sweet f all. Do you agree or disagree with my comment or do you just like hearing the tip tap of your keyboard?

My point is complaining about umpires is something only losers do.

 

[hollyfasolo]

I was shocked Jetta wasn't playing for you guys... Could have definitely made a difference

 

[3agles87]

Well we lost, by one point, so what is your point. Or are you calling me a loser, and you don’t know me at all.

He did not deserve a 3 year deal.
