How do you respond to a difficult eagles loss?

[MWPP]

are you man or woman?

The latter

I snapped my teev remote in half. Carlton was bad, Collingwood was almost unbearable.
We freaking had that.
Now I need a new remote and anger management counselling. Still, there were some good passages of play and I like what Simmo is doing with the place. Next year.

I feel more comfortable with your reaction then.
carry on

 

[lewigie]

I usually don't let anyone talk to me about anything for about an hour because I will snap at them.

 

[Wosh]

And if Adelaide beat Carlton today I'm going to be fuming all over again about that game we blew to those mediocre nobodies.

Carlton and Collingwood..they were ours! and how different would our season look.

 

[russ]

usually thump something but the hand is still sore post carlton. pretty much just questioned my own existence yesterday

 

[MIKE85]

Mine is usually to tell myself that it's only a game, doesn't effect my life in any way blah blah blah, but deep down it really gets to me. The wife always says it too, "it's just a game" I resist the urge to throw something at her, don't want to set a bad example for the children!

TBH after this latest fun times loss, I was actually pretty optimistic about the future. Nic looked the best he has all year, still not hoilding marks, but flying for them, and crashing packs. Yeo looks to be a bloody good recruit, always backs himself, and doesn't look out of place in the middle. Shep and Bennell keep getting better, and Hurn is slowly playing himself into form.

The collective age of our group is good, still very young, and our core/most important players over the coming years, still have plenty to give and improve on. Cox and Glass will go soon, and priddis, but not too many more, we will be ok in the next few years if we can snag a good midfield recruit, Yarran maybe??

I wonder how long it will take before people start calling us North Coast

Other. I lament the poor decisions by the club over the last 7 years. Poor recruiting, poor player management and poor coaching appointments.
As a result we stuck with a list that is average (with the potential to be good) but not a squad that will push for a flag.

I was talking collectively but if you want to be jerk about it go ahead.

 

[Empire_Persian]

I try to tell myself 'it's just a game' but I don't believe it, and when others tell me 'it's just a game' I want to kick them off a cliff.

Sure, it is a game, but not just a game.

Us fans make a huge emotional investment in the team and our attachment is strong and passionate as you would expect. As a comparison, most people watch a movie and they become emotionally attached to the fictional protagonist after 25 minutes, but I don't go around telling people 'it's just a movie' do I? The team I'm emotionally attached to is real, and I have been following them for 15 years, not 25 minutes! So the whole notion of 'it's just a game' can burn in hell.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

After last year and where the team is right now I'm kinda over the losses, new coach, new system, 'trying new players elsewhere' it was always going to be they kind of year I felt, just gotta roll with it until Simmo makes the proper list changes and brings in the players he wants to run his system, Yeo was a great start

 

[Beutbrute]

I like to pick a fight with a fellow eagles supporter on an online forum cause that makes me feel better

 

[West Coast 06]

It's late on Monday afternoon, and it is still pissing me off.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Watch Biggie bang the shit out of his misses.

 

[cheeseypizza]

I like take my anger and rage filled blood to the gym after a disappointing Eagles loss.

 

[LordHaart]

All of the above.

 

[erbenz]

Well usually I just watch Naitanui in 2012 and wonder how much longer I have to wait. Not too much longer... hopefully.

trawling my house for cheap objects, and then throwing said objects against the wall. all while groaning like a Neanderthal.

Ie end up with more broken chairs and objects

 

[Chris_6678]

I just eat 12 packets of Cheezels and look up posts from Goeagles about how Glu will hold us all together than put a smile on my face and get back on my feet and continue on with life.

 

[bombard]

I renounced football after the 2005 GF when Sampi got pushed out. Vowed to never watch another game. Literally.

That lasted until R2 2006.
