Autopsy Eagles 92 defeat Dogs 85

[Doashuey]

For an Eagles fan I completely understand why you would sit through the song and see your players off the ground.

I was talking about Bulldogs fans that tortured themselves sitting right through the Eagles song to see our players off at the end.

Missed the joke mate. Pretty much every Eagles fans HATES our new song. It is shit and is the worst thing about having a win these days.

 

[Munnez]

Speaking of the crowd, how crap was it. We were the home team but we were so quiet, hardly any chanting or cheering.

Wasn't a lot too get up and about for that match

MC selection again as Libba was not replaced and we leaked from many congested situations. No changes are made and we just sit back and watch the opposition waltz through the middle of the ground

Preaching to the choir, but realistically who else is capable of that role?

LOL, sorry I just realised that I completely missed the joke.

Geelong have little to play for, we must be a chance

Eagles had even less to play for we know how that ended.

The fact that they've sent the bont out alone to face the media today speaks volumes of this club

 

[Iamspock]

Happy to * everyone off but Bont and Liber.

A little unfair, I think that James O'Donnell and Liam Jones did a spectacular job given the forward and midfield inability to stem the incoming flow of ball.

 

[Iamspock]

I can understand it, but you're an idiot for throwing the scarf down. There goes access for every body in future

Yep, gotta watch out for the deadly scarf.

A little unfair, I think that James O'Donnell and Liam Jones did a spectacular job given the forward and midfield inability to stem the incoming flow of ball.

I've said it elsewhere (and probably also in this thread) - Bont, Libba, L Jones and Richards are our constants imo. They've been consistently good.

JOD and West have been good recently considering games played/experience.

Otherwise the rest of the list can't be relied upon. They play a quarter, or half a game, or only run offensively, or can't stick a tackle when needed, or miss simple handballs, or don't lead/compete, miss simple set shots that give respite/momentum to the opposition etc. Of all of them probably only Lobb has been much good the past few weeks, which is saying something.

Treloar, Dale, Daniel, Williams are shadows of the players they were. Naughton, JUH and Weightman are not functioning well - the ball is walking out of the forward line and they also can barely kick a goal when it's really needed. Keath and VDM should be nowhere near the AFL team ever again. Scott gets a passmark for his year, but he's been really poor recently. Baker and Poulter maybe get a passing grade given where they've come from.

 

[Iamspock]

Brought up he was criticised for playing JOD too early, no you were criticised for playing him as a forward early when his entire vfl form was as a back and since being in that position he has performed

Goes to the Dan Andrews school of spin. Never let truth intrude on your outrage.

 

[Iamspock]

We don't want bevo

Simpson is a good coach but we basically have old premiership hero's who can't get on the park , a bunch of under 22s with some wafl hacks and other club rejects in the 24-29 year age bracket.

Not many could get much out of our list atm unfortunately

And yet they kicked the first goal of every quarter and never looked like losing, even during the 3 minutes that the dogs finally got in front.

You are just assuming this.

He may have volunteered, and knowing the character of the bloke he probably did.

"Expectatons from the supporters...!"

How dare we expect that a team with finals on the line would expect we'd beat the bottom team, who had won 2 games out of 21, has a percentage of 50.6, lost the week before to Freo by 101, also lost this year in other games by 108, 116, and 171(!)????

Oh yeah, they ran Essendon close 2 weeks ago - who then lost to GWS by 126!!

FFS, I couldn't listen after that.

Supporter EXPECTATIONS were a factor in us losing to West Coast!

For goodness' sake man, roll out some other BS, or maybe the club don't publish that.

Sorry, I've been on the fence even up to this morning - but after the post-match presser, he needs to go. Tbh I'm worried he's lost his grip on reality.

Tell us again Bevo how reporters don't understand the game. Maybe they shouldn't question you at all post-game, win or lose?

Sorry, I've just gone full dark side. Delusional.

 

[Libba39]

I don't know what was yelled at the players and I have no intention of watching it. I thought we were better than that, and quite frankly the people that do that are symptomatic of the social media generation. Its less about the true expression and more about "look at me me me me".

"We" are better than that.

A couple of (sounded like) middle-aged muppets (my demographic, but not my character-trait!), so not sure they're the social media generation either!

 

[NBates]

After watching that...

I reakon Bevo has been told he's going already.

I reakon it was done the same time they told Smith - which is why Bevo got so emotional.

I reakon they have tried to keep it from players, because they didn't want to boys to know while finals on the line, but Bevo (loving his boys) told them.

I reakon this is the only reason I can explain all the doom & gloom from Bevo before the match Sunday & after watching this video.

Were the players not sending a message to Bevo on Sunday, but to the supporters? i.e. 'yeah, happy supporter love day - see how you like this loss' because they are blaming us for Bevo getting his marching orders.

Bravo old son , never knew you had it in you —- you seem too nice !
I like the “ dark side “ gJ.

 

[King Harold]

Wow , just listening to that . next week is his last .

Thanks King - I'm just not sure whether to give your post a like, a laugh or a sad face. Feels like all 3 after arriving at this point in my thinking.
I think you and I have seen too many coaches come and go - thought I'd be immune to it by now. I really thought he was "the one". Oh well, can't wait for the next new shiny toy to come in and promise the supporters everything will be rainbows and pots of gold again soon! ☹

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Now that I've had time to chew it over, I can't say I'm shocked or disappointed; neither angry nor philosophical.

I'm embarrassed.

This is my club. I've been invested virtually all my life. Right now, I'm a bit red faced about that.

In all my years, I've never felt that way before. It's often been a hard road, but hope springs eternal...just not tonight.

We're in a bit of a spot, but it's nothing like the waning days of the McCartney era.

That was a black hole of football supporting despair for me.

Things are never as good nor bad as they seem. After all its just a game.

 

[doggies ftw]

Going off about his list in the presser is next level ******ed shit, his finger prints are literally all over this list and we topped up for a flag and you’re going to try and blame the list at your disposal for the love god take some responsibility and just cop it on the chin.

Absolute campaigner of a bloke cannot stand him anymore
