Are the Eagles still the biggest flat track bullies?

[The King!]

Everything's looking up for The King!'s predictions

Didn’t count on my own club ****ing me up

Have to be an average team to lose to us twice in a year

 

[The King!]

I’ll still stubbornly stand by until round 23, for the record I would like the eagles to do well if Sydney don’t anyway

I won't lie, it truly breaks my heart to see ****ing Gold Coast beat you but West Coast remain uncompetitive against Sydney. What is this cruel world?

Just doesn’t mean anything in the old who beats who I guess, part of the fun.

You certainly play your home ground better than us

It can be very liberating to acknowledge that one is wrong.

Well, so I hear

 

[Dazzler9]

Surely now it is Melbourne. 0-7 vs top eight, 10-0 vs bottom ten.

So when is Barrett going to go with the ftb. If it was us it would have been mentioned every week

Pretenders

They are quite comfortably the softest side in the game. The amount of players refusing to put the body on the line today against an at best average pressure side was damning.

The OP asks whether they are flat track bullies - West Coast are utterly impotent when not supported by a laughable advantage through umpiring at home.

They aren't a flag threat, and I highly doubt they will be any time soon.

Quite comfortably one of the dumber posts in a thread full of them. Take Reiwoldt, Martin and Edwards out of the Tigers (not to mention their main ruckman) then send them to a dung heap five hours away and see how they go.

Drop West Coast to just the one KPF and the one Ruckman during the game like how Richmond have to play each week I doubt they would be able to make finals

Great post

Great to see the usual suspects laying the boots in.

It's BigFooty. Did you expect anything else?

True.

I'd post a rebuttal citing a game from two weeks ago but the usual suspects will just deflect and troll.

Oh well.

Nothing but excuses. Learn to lose with dignity. You got crucified and when the game was on the line had players ball watching. Nothing but spectators. Getting led a merry dance by a side struggling to make the 8 i abysmal stuff.

Very soft indeed.

It's a shit loss but every side has the occasional shocker and we won't be the last interstate side to get thumped at Bellerive.

It's not like North are Carlton - they are scrapping for a place in the bottom half of the eight on their own fortress. Did you expect us to walk over them?

In the big scheme of things this is merely a set back in the push for top two, not a fatal flaw in a premiership challenge. Finals aren't played in Tasmania.

You don’t think this is a tactic by Richmond? To go small up forward with only 1 recognised KPF and Ruck?

Half their success can be credited to this tactic I don’t think it is holding them back it actually has improved the team greatly..

Lol Bombers supporters are more pissed about WC losing than we are

 

[Deathly]

Nah, some of the stats and the interchange numbers suggest they just rocked up to get through a trash scheduled, throwaway game. They'll still win 3/4 of the games in the next month comfortably and finish Top 4. This game won't even be reviewed by them.

We had to use the tactic because we lacked another KPF and Ruckman

No denying it was a bad loss, but put it in perspective. It's a crap road trip, West Coast chose to leave some key players at home, their fate is still in their own hands. Just the usual suspects having a dig, which is fine, that's how BF rolls. Personally, I would have gone all out and tried to sew up second spot, but that's my view.

Put just another league average KPF and ruckman in the Richmond side and they are much worse.. the Genius is playing small ball and having so many runners and medium sized players everywhere and not the lumbering key forwards/ruckman that cannot pressure as well

Yesterday Richmond were smashed around the ground when Toby Nankervis was off wouldn't have happened if we had someone better than a midfielder in Grigg to give him a chop out and with our small forwards another tall would help to get the ball to them

Says the guy whos team never plays in Tasmania?

 

[bh90210fan]

For all the intellectuals out there

How can WC be flat track bullies when they have the best record in the league against the top teams?
