AFL 2018 - Prelim Final - West Coast v Melbourne, Optus Stadium, Sat, Sept 22, 1.20pm WST

[Duskfire]

It is obvious that in their haste to keep the Dee Cinderella story going many journos forgot that West a Coast are a bloody good side who are extremely tough to beat in Perth. Anyone who tipped Melbourne today deserves a double serving of egg on the face.

Yup I couldn’t believe it when a bunch of experts were tipping Melb. Crazy talk, it’s like everyone forget that the eagles haven’t lose a game with Kennedy and darling together.

Dees may lose this if they're not careful.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Dees certainly, won’t happen though (obviously)

If you were playing Melbourne would back Pies all the way to win the flag but WC makes it a 50/50 game

I'm at Fed square in a sea or red and blue. Crowd stunned into silence. And it's fantastic.

 

[The Meerkat]

Play like this next week and we beat Collingwood and we're premiers.

Collingwood are not melbourne.

 

[Glenhope]

Mercy rule required. Just going to hurt the Dees mentally now. A lot of "Are you OK" support at h/t.

Brayshaw is a good commentator.
Bit of a boofhead in terms of the persona, but as a commentator he goes alright.

If wce can bring this game to the MCG on gf day the maggies are gone, the Eagles kick mark style if done well is very hard to stop.

I dunno. Based on both games I think we're in for one hell of a grand final.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Paul Roos and Gary Lyon about to cry.

I don't blame them.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Channel 7 got a Fremantle Legend to do the West Coast dressing room interviews.

Fremantle have legends?

 

[Black Saab]

Take a spell mate.

Free kick Eagles

Melbourne Fans and Melbourne media have disrespected WCE all week.

This what happens when you disrespect WCE.

Its called culture , we have it in spades.

4 figures?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Pies would you rather play Dees or WC? personaly I would say Melbourne

No shit genius

Eagles are going to romp in the flag

 

[Old Man Rooey]

Disappointing finish to the prelims - expected more but shouldn’t really be surprised that the eagles have come out and made a statement after the Dees caught them out in the last game

Paul Roos - is he still going to be taking the credit

Some sort of statement... Melbourne farcical, like Richmond last night worst performance of the year.

 

[Murray2503]

Just wanna see wce flog the pies and see eddie's head explode next week to cap off the finals.

 

[demontim27]

If Gawn, Jones, Oliver and McDonald played today we would win...

 

[HBF]

Dont think I recall a finals game where a team has not kicked a goal in the first half. Anyone got stats on that?

Very good Mike

 

[Boxhead_31]

Finals footy is about pressure
12 Dees players haven't laid a tackle

 

[HTPunter]

8.8.56 from turnovers is crazy and shows you can't blame anyone but Demons players.

 

[Kipz]

No one does it quite like Melbourne does

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Smart decision building optus stadium the same dimensions as the mcg

Shame they didn't. The mind boggles.

 

[Coaster2012]

Free kick Eagles

69-6 eagles.

 

[tige19]

Beautiful stuff seeing Roosey the self proclaimed master and truth be told, a complete bias flog look like death has frozen over. Suck shit

 

[Tiger2709]

Both teams that beat hawthorn both get smacked up next game, played their grand finals against us already did they? Lol

Thats the problem when you play one game in three weeks and its against a fairly weak team in Hawthorn, then you come up against someone on the boil and you get smashed.
