Shut up brereton.

 

[BFew]

Is there something wrong with the scoreboard in this match?

I keep on checking it periodically and the West Coast score has hardly moved.

 

[NSWCROW]

I've got a lot of time for Campbell Chesser but holy ****, 2 touches ??????

 

[MarcMaverick]

Eagles player development since their premiership in 2018 fell off a cliff, still their aging stars carrying the rest. Don't know why they haven't cut Simpson

Part of the furniture. Like a comfortable yet worn out bed or couch. You know you need a new one, but the old one is so dear and precious to throw away.

Close?
Their the worse

no

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Just tuned in, does the ground look smokey. Or do I need a new tv?

Looks smokey. The turf is also shit

 

[kreuze_missile]

Well done Fox Footy.

This is the perfect game to give Kelli Underwood.

Quite Smokey around Melbourne this weekend.

Not just you.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Quite Smokey around Melbourne this weekend.

Controlled back burns from what I've heard,

 

[kaiserchief13]

0 goals in 2nd and 3rd quarters for 2 weeks in a row. Has any other team in AFL history done that?

West coast are beyond a joke and an absolute stain on the competition.
How you’re actually on this site posting as an eagles supporter is a mystery to me.

I really hate "contact below the knees"

I'd still put that Melbourne side as worse

Eagles give our 2022 season under Noble a run though

 

[Roobs321]

now gone goalless in four of our last six quarters

 

[Sean_09]

now gone goalless in four of our last seven quarters

I don't mind it if a player slides in on their knees. When someone is legitimately going for the ball the rule sucks.
To the letter of the law that free kick was the correct call though

 

[Red Bull]

Eagles should be stripped of their license.
Don’t deserve to be in the AFL … shameful !!

 

[TheKanga]

Perhaps controversial but....

So far I feel like McKercher & Duursma have had more impact than Reid.

 

[Golden_6]

It’s incredibly how the most financially successful club has found themselves in this situation. Their list is in diabolical shape. There’s probably 5-7 young players worth anyone surrounded by a few cooked older guys.

It’s worse than an expansion club list.

 

[Tjblues]

The kid's trying to forge a career and he's surrounded by first round draft pick opponents - Weightman, Naughton, Marra & Darcy.
I hope we can cut the kid some slack.

Probably came off more condescending than intended.

They clearly don’t have any other options and I’m not doubting his effort, it’s just clear when he’s in a contest that he’s pushing shit uphill to even halve it.

Hope he can find some confidence but it’s his 34th game, he has much improving to do in a hurry

They know this

The competition rewards mediocrity with extra first round picks

Spot on. Don't punish players for attacking the ball.
That said, umps need more common sense, less blindly enforcing the "letter of the law" and making stupid calls like that one.

They're in the same situation Carlton was in for a long time.
Successful with a lot of money, a lot of backslapping

 

[Mofra]

By God I've never seen Darling play this poorly
