out was the wrong call and proof we were tanking? Gave us the two picks we used to get Stevenson from the Pies. I call that a win.

Sometimes you need a player who ages like fine wine and not someone you trade the future of your club for...

Eagles legend Drew Petrie.

You think the umpiring was to blame? Lol.

I do not, I was responding to someone who thought the Eagles were getting a free ride. Umpiring was just baffling at times across the board.

 

[Wabjub]

You think the umpiring was to blame? Lol.

I think a slow midfield loses it. May be able to get a ball but can't rebound or chase.

 

[Rod Stroker]

That play was a simple 1 percenter, “ have tall near the 10 metre square, when shot being taken at goal “. Goldstein did it, NikNat didn’t.

North win due to a 1 percenter.

So under rated is Goldy. Always does the team stuff, it's never about him.

 

[Clems Knee]

If WC find a way to lose this, pack it all up and see you again next year.

I assume you will keep your promise.

 

[Contra Mundum]

Guess the umpires got the memo to stop North from folding

is this Gold FM because we are playing the classics - next up Foreigner with “Cold as Ice”

 

[Contra Mundum]

Didn't you see the repeated pre-emptive posts by NM supporters about Margetts? They've all gone quiet haha

so Margetts is a fair umpire - BOOOOO

Same bloke that turned a blind eye to a Josh Kennedy throw that resulted in a goal to Allen in the last.

I guess he couldn’t be everywhere tonight?

Freo fans are fairly chirpy in this thread for a fan base that only has derby trophies from 5+ years ago to claim as any sort of silverware.

Didn't realise only certain fans are allowed to give West Coast shit.

 

[Coasters7]

Didn't realise only certain fans are allowed to give West Coast sh*t.

Don’t mind it from sides that have actually won something. Freo fans giving us shit is on par with Gold Coast fans doing the same. Just irrelevant because you have never experienced coming down from a high point so any opinion on the matter is baseless, and only having the failures of your cross town rivals to bring you joy is hilariously petty.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Oh Contra, you're one of the few North supporters I actually like other than Soft Downhill Skier. I melted down hard tonight but congrats to North haha.

Normally North is my favourite Victorian club.

A hard earned McClelland Trophy too, we had to build a whole nother shelf for that.

Now enough deflection from the issue at hand of WCE's pants being pulled down by the bottom team in front of their home fans. Who then by all accounts got drenched walking to the train after the game which hid their tears of defeat and disgust.

Meh it was coming. The recent form of both sides doesn’t reflect ladder position imo and that’s not to mention the fact we were 3.10 at the half. Could have easily been 30 points up and a comfortable, although uninspiring, win. But that’s just footy. Ups and downs, or in Freos case, a whole lot of down. But as I said, keep finding joy in your rival teams failure if that’s all you have to hang your hat on

That just goes without saying doesn't it, for all of us.

 

[The 747]

West Coast lost to the bottom side, at home?

How awesome

 

[Gavin Excell]

I must admit to being surprised by Eagles this year. Listless and without much venom

 

[Sweet Jesus]

In terms of WC being relevant, absolutely.

Too old, fat and slow.

after that game?

They could have done a Dynamo Washing Detergent ad of him and Walker standing side by side. Walker pre wash and Darling post wash.

On that, did Tom Barass look a bit chubby?

 

[redglare]

Too old, fat and slow.

Definitely slow - just lack any drive out of the midfield. Naitanui is the only one able to impose himself at stoppages. I though Yeo was the answer to this problem, but just not there yet, and Shuey still struggling.

Other factors - game plan that struggles in the wet, dew or on small grounds. It worked well for a while, but hasn't evolved much and other clubs much better at countering it. Probably played above the average games in the wet at home (Essendon, Bullies, NM) and smaller grounds (twice at GMHBA, although the win over Carlton at SCG is an outlier).
