W.A crusty comments between Freeo an eagles when eagles are playing Geelong. ha love it

 

[Strange Cat]

How did flogging teams at KP work out for you last year?

I just have to laugh. We flog teams at home and 'the GF isn't played in Perth'. We get flogged away and apparently that means more.

Based on the last 7 seasons I'm not concerned at all by what Geelong do during the H&A season other than when it impacts us, which today it has. We're playing terrible footy and have most of the year.

Seeing we have been winning at the MCG I think we are doing ok

But your tears and denial is very entertaining

 

[ToreadorMarch]

I can understand freo being so salty, but why are Geelong fans ?

Are we? id say we r feeling pretty good about life

 

[Sully111]

Great win cats.

I watch every Geelong game because i don't know how much longer Gary Ablett jr will be playing. I want to make sure i see what's left of this champion's career

Thing about Geelong is they play well on there little skinny ground. But when it comes to the crunch in finals they can’t play well at the MCG since there glory years of 2007 to 2011

you mean the years when they had a team worthy of winning in finals?

just because they have been average in finals since doesnt mean they will forever be shit.

to be fair they have had an average team that has over achieved season after season since and maybe this year they have filled enough holes to actually compete.

at any rate 6 rounds isnt enough evidence to say. good start to the season though against fairly decent competition.

Too early for me to start my annual Eagle thread?

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

GO GEELONG!

 

[Gavin Excell]

Definetly the best teamvthats beaten us this year.Likely top four and straight sets exit at this stage.

If we avoid travelling we won’t go s sets

Exactly. FINALS.
We have a winning record on every ground we’ve played on more than once SINCE 2011, ironically except Subiaco which is the closest ground in the league to the dimensions of ours.

It isn’t the ground that stops us winning finals, it’s getting ambushed in the first quarter or, in the case of the 2017 QF, the last quarter.

 

[ZGuhT]

btw **** me that left foot kick off a step by Ablett to setup that goal was pure footy

[illegaleagle]

so salty

You playing well atm, let’s see you do it at a final at the MCG

 

[Gavin Excell]

I didn’t think GHMBA stadium surface was that hard?

These references to hard surfaces going over my head

What’s the joke?

 

[Xtreme]

You playing well atm, let’s see you do it at a final at the MCG

They've got a few months to go before the finals begin, football is a funny game and they could end up outside the 8 for all we know

 

[Tristan34]

The thing i hate most about losing is the freo fans that come out of the woodworks and absolutely froth over it

Well you guys get sucker trolled a lot.. I can see why they do it.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Just realised Freo second on the ladder

Wow

Yeah, and WCE can’t win away from home....

 

[fnerd]

they are obsessed with us

deep down they know they will never win a flag so they have to live vicariously through our losses

so sad

the Only thing sadder is bandwagoner WC supporters who join up after the premiership.
I’d say its you who live vicariously through a football side.
When your team wins you become the better person

Just realised Freo second on the ladder

Wow

No wonder Weagles fans are so uh...raw at the moment.

We have beaten Collingwood & Hawthorn so far this year on the MCG. While I agree the lads still have a lot to do to truly prove themselves this year, and it's only round 6, I haven't seen the team this balanced for a long time. I don't know what the future holds, and I understand you're upset your team lost, but underestimate the Cats at your peril.

 

[Sully111]

could go on in 2020 if he keeps this up

Hope he does

Have a snickers

 

[Generalissimo]

I hope so. On form he could go on for another year beyond that, even.
