Game Day SEMI-FINAL: West Coast Eagles vs Geelong

[Gaffy Duck]

Everyone but Damo have tipped us on the AFL site

I believe

 

[Balls In]

Angry is the best way to play and boy o ****ing boy I bet we are smoking. These ****heads and their campaigner supporters wont know what hit them.

 

[Coasters7]

Only issue I have is that it’s only been a couple of hours since the news broke. Reckon if it came out on Monday or something and we’d had a couple of days to reset we’d have no problems.. but a lot of them are probably still trying to comprehend what happened. Could go either way. Either we’re angry and pissed off (RIP Geelong), or we’re flat and can’t be arsed. Obviously hoping it’s the former..

 

[ME ME ME]

The teams resolve and resilience was tested last year after a number of incidents, some times i wonder how much the players can take before it ends up breaking them. They do appear mentally strong though it seems

I'm just about to drive through Geelong. Will shake my fist angrily. I still think we win.

Would never condone wilful exposure, but maybe something other than the fist is called for?

 

[ChampRevesby]

Old Geelong boy is worried.

 

[RookiePick]

Would never condone will', full exposure, but maybe something other than the fist is called for?

Grammar please.

Here's one from the geelong board to give us all a laugh...

"Can't disagree with Sam on this, lthink Stanley has the tools to at least neutralize Nicknat even beat him.
His effect at ground level can be underestimated all the same, with his huge frame hard to get around. Stanley will need to screen him for our mids to prevail imo.
I hope he's really switched on tonight and forgets his being omitted last week"

and

"I have always thought he was very overrated. The athleticism dazzles everyone, but he is absolutely not a natural footballer. "

Why would you ever willingly go to that scrapheap?

You would think at some stage, certain people would stop trying to discount NN as a player (i.e. Zac Clarke is a better ruckman ).

Much prefer to rate him on his teammates views and those of current AFL players who have to run onto a ground against him.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

We’ve won the centre clearances in 100% of the games Nic Nat has played. We win them 36% of the time without him.

Opposition fans - “Nic Nat is overrated, he’s not even that good”
Also opposition fans - “I hope Nic Nat is suspended for the final next week”.

Pundits - “Nic Nat is slow around the ground”
Also pundits - “Nic Nat goes too fast for a bloke his size, that sort of impact is dangerous to other players”.

All fan bases tend to overrate their players, but this isn’t a “Nic Nat is better than x” conversation. When an entire fan base is in total agreement that someone is their most impactful player, beyond any question, people who casually tune into an occasional game should probably take that to have a bit of merit.

TBH I think this sort of comment is why I really, really want to see us smash Geelong:

I simply said I never ran my mouth off all year saying Geelong were s**t. Why would I. I tipped us to finish 1st at the start of the year.

You were lucky last year ... lucky you were gifted two home finals and a dream match-up against a team you structure up well against.

What I've been saying all year is the Eagles are overrated (proven right when they didn't make the top 4) and they wouldn't beat Geelong in a final at the MCG (Still yet to be proven right)

**** Geelong, **** their fans (just as bad, if not more worse than Richmond supporters) and, especially, **** them for keeping Tim Kelly hostage. I want blood.

 

[ME ME ME]

I'll be at the MCG tonight to watch the game. Hopefully can get stuck into their supporters if it is a straight sets loss

Pull no punches old son.

 

[Farang83150]

Wouldn't it be SO good if the geelong players were as thick as some their supporters!

 

[flyinghi64]

Oh wow, nearly forgot there is a game tonight.
Really hope the boys can focus on the game at hand, we are a better team at our best so please be at your best boys.

The guy's I am most concerned for are Ryan and to a lesser degree Jetta. Hope they don't be to distracted by things they can't control.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Nic is averaging more clearances than danger this year. Trails only Kelly from Geelong in clearances per game, and that only by .2 per game, despite playing 55% game time.

Lol

 

[hungrytiger]

Jetta and Nic Nat will fire Ryan up.. We all walk taller with the Flyin Fijian

 

[SirKarl0s]

Did Petch actually get on a plane to Vic or did he just run across the Nullabor to save time?

Anywho, screw the Cats. Yesterday sucked but we will rise above.

 

[Quinz]

West Coast to piss it in.

Hopefully following procedure.
