Roast IF it isn't biased or ncompetent..... THEN it must be inciteful media coverage part II

[wce4premiership]

If Yeos kick is smothered the clock still runs out. A long kick will hang for at least 5 seconds and Varcoe still had to gather and run 20m because Schoey has DeGoey covered.
What a load of rubbish!

Also Shuey after taking 30 seconds for his "set shot" really should have played on, kicked sideways for an uncontested mark or ran sideways for 3 or 4 seconds before heading to the pocket. Was relatively unmarked.

But all you guys need to consider that DEGOEY'S IN THE GOAL SQUARE!

LOL Richo will sound like fool for eternity.

Happy to not watch any AFL shows or read any crap articles that give us no credit.

Just watch our games and make own opinions.

Filter through these types of threads waiting for a random "finally something positive said about us" links then I may have a browse.

Worked last year.

Usually don't mind David King, but he has tipped us to finish 8th this year. Surely not..

Just been on the AFL site and can find no sign of Sliding Doors. Has it been canned for this year? Can it be so?

 

[Cuzz09]

We have a tough draw and like Simmo said we were 2 games off 7th last year and won a game on the last kick (v port)

We had a bit of luck going our way.

All you need is a few things to go against you and it gets tough.

Id like to think our squad is a top 4 squad though. Mentally tough to battle through situations and enough drive from guys who missed last year to push the others.

Barring a terrible run with injuries Id like to think top 4.

Still salty about our premiership win.

Saw it on 360 last night. Just Victorian bias.

Ahmm. NicNat, Gaff, Shepherd.
Also, missed JD, Kennedy, Gov and Shuey for chunks of the season.
We won in spite of things going against us, not going for us.

If the West Coast cant defend their title, are they flat track bullies?

[Gravitas]

Have thought that exact thing having watched it so many times. Had Varcoe actually smothered it, we probably would've lost, and Jack Darling would be doing the Ron Burgundy, walking down the street drinking milk from the carton never to play AFL footy again

Milk was a bad choice!

Probably been told he is too "pro-Eagles" and to show less bias...

 

[bombard]

Just on this - there are six seconds on the clock the moment the footy touches Yeo’s boot. Let’s assume it’s smothered and bounces up perfectly to Varcoe (presumably). He‘s not gathering, running from the centre circle to 55m and kicking in six seconds.

He can’t score himself, so he kicks ahead to a teammate. De Goey is no certainty to mark with Schofield on his hip, but let’s argue that Varcoe gathers and kicks perfectly ahead. De Goey is either forcing a set shot from beyond 55m, or leading back towards goal but hearing the siren go because the longer kick took too long.

Zero chance of a smother amounting to anything other than the most breathless, but ultimately inconsequential, moment in Grand Final history. Kingy gets there eventually, but imagine trying to script a better Grand Final than the one we actually got.

**** Victorian fan fiction.

Let me paraphrase for you:

"Imagine if the other team kicked more goals than the team that actually won. Then they would be the team that won! MIND BLOWN."

 

[MrKK]

Imagine if Melbourne didn't concede 11 goals to 0 in the first half of the prelim. We might not even have made the Grand Final!

Well, technically Melbourne didn't concede 11 goals to 0 in the prelim...

 

[Obeanie1]

They have almost the easiest draw year in year out no matter what.

Cats
Tigers
Eagles

Isnt easy. They could well be 0-3.

I think he's been on the turps once too often.

 

[Truckosaurus]

He looked terrible during the JLT. Put on weight, sweating heaps....

cant remember the last max laughton article i saw that didnt take a potshot at eagles fans or fake-complain about 'vic-bias'. absolute toolbag of the highest order
