[Grave Danger]

First quarter the Eagles have won since round 9 versus Suns

Even in their one win for the year vs GWS they only won one quarter - now they've won two in a row!

 

[Portmagpies36]

Hey who was the former crow mid, was a fringe player, came from Westies, has a big schnoz. He was at yesterday's sanfl game.

Porplyzia?

 

[Festerz]

St Kilda.

I have no words.

Who needs words when a laugh is all that's needed?

My St.Kilda supporting mate reckons the team is all Ross' favourites and it's back to being a bit of a boys club.

That's been confirmed on a couple of the sporting programs. Was given the golden key to get who what he wanted and a couple of his old buddies were already there.

This is all on him.

The most boring AFL coach on and off field imho but treated like a Messiah by the boys club AFL media.

Only danger is West Coast inexperienced players running out of puff and Lyon negative tactics rope-a-doping them.

Why are St Kilda wearing the Goodwood Saints strip?

Goodwood Saints would be putting up as good an effort as the Saints right now

Yea Melbourne just cost me dinner.. fukc them they are 1 flag and done that group eat a satchel Goodwin.

No team should lose to this WC side

Porplyzia?

That’s who my first thought was but then I thought he was a regular for a few years

 

[edgie]

It's odd because St Kilda's early season form wasn't a fluke or luck. They smashed the Bulldogs, lost a close one to Collingwood then a close one to us. Since then they've been nowhere near it, despite not suffering any setbacks like injury.

Long way to go, Eagles had to show something after last week

They got the Ross system pretty quick.. the reality is the list is balls.

And was mostly a forward wasn’t he?

 

[Coobk001]

Melbourne!!!! Yes!!!

Fantastic result for us. A 4 game gap with 8 to go is huge.

We're definitely confirmed as making finals now, but top 4 is now almost a lock.

Purely playing for a top 2 spot in next 4 weeks. The Collingwood and Showdown games are going to be huge.


What's also going under the radar is that the Crows are a legitimate top 4 chance now. Win next week and there's potential we could be facing them in a home QF!

Looks to me like the Eagles need some Tarps. Lots of empty seats.

Hard part for me and many, is that many of those games weren't covered on network tv, so I never saw them play. Since then everytime I've watched them they've not impressed me one bit.

I expect Essendon and StKilda to drop out of the 8 personally.

There was a boycott of supporters going to the game promoted by members and the WA media this week.

Eagles fan group calling for crowd boycott at Saints game

The head of one of West Coast’s largest online fan groups has started a campaign for fans to boycott the first quarter of their home clash with St Kilda on Sunday to push the club into giving them answers.

That they maybe miss their team pulling off a huge upset is fitting.

So perhaps they were playing the way they were used to, before Ross got his grubby mits on them. It's no surprise that they're now ultra low scoring and boring as bat shit.

I don't know if King returning and them not winning as much is a coincidence or a reason but it can't be ruled out.

Instead of GWS losing their 8th game by 21 pts or less, they win their 5th by 21 pts or less. Kingers is giving that stress ball a good workout.

Choco must be proud of his pupil despite being a coach at Melbourne.

Choco reflecting back on his career during the HoF function, must be dirty that GWS expected him to the main coach for 2 years + 2011 in the VFL , let Sheedy be the front man marketing guru, and they only would pay him a basic assistant coaches wages, not even a high end Voss type assistant wage or WCE type assistant coaches wage, so he walked out at end of the first season rather than hang around for the second season and Sheedy might have stuck around longer. He must have over the years thought what he could have achieved with such a great list and convinced a lot of the young blokes to hang around longer and get that flag. Leon Cameron

was such a dross coach.

Who knows, if Dave Matthews resigns as CEO, and one or two others he didn't get on with are gone, he might go and work with Kingers again.

St. Kilda will probably still win & edgie can celebrate

 

[Greasyrhys]

The aints have woken up

 

[Powerade 08]

Shame if WC lose this. They've been the better team but will probably run out of legs and talent. Their sub is a 202cm, 19yo ruck, because they have nobody else.

They won’t finish top four in my opinion. Flat track bullies.
