Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
You are welcome. Make sure you buy tomorrow's paper over here to see how good you are ..
Backpage :
Judd again a superhero as Eagle warriors win in heroic fashion against all odds. Vic supporters unfairly boo our champion team at end. Will they never accept we are the greatest ?

Again... and again. and again.
Really - thanks. I dont know what they would do without you.

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
Geelong is not in Melbourne, moron.
Hmmm, how are Freo's wins going this season? Most of them have been "4 kicks or less" (vs Carlton, Port, Saints, Eagles)
And how did Freo's last trip to Melbourne taste? Delicious?
Good to see your own side's form doesn't count when comes to your statistical dribble... but then again, you've got to keep telling yourself that the Eagles can't win it this year, don't you?
Now, don't come out during daylight or you'll turn to stone.

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
No it won`t - and saying it out loud won`t make it so. The game was there to be won - and West Coast won it. Most of the after match commentry was pretty impressed by both sides - so they wern`t asking questions.
And to add a little troll. The Bombers have tried these hard tactics in the past against your lot. Whereas you lot folded thrice - we ground out a win.
Purple ****s.

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
We won 3 in a row and 5 for the year.
As far as playing like a 16th side goes, you play as well as your opposition lets you. The Eagles should easily account for a bottom of the ladder team.
WCE is hard to beat in Subi but a very different team in Melbourne.

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
WCE were well below their best yet still win comfortably by 21 points a nice test of character and maturity. WCE were ambushed a bit like Adelaide yesterday but showed some character to find a way to win. Games are played on grass not paper.
As far as Hansen is concerned I said he was finding some form after his 2nd game back this season. He is nowhere near his best yet.

Mate, Hansen played on Bolts!!!!!!

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
3 wins /2 losses this season for Freo in games of 24 points or less. Not sure how beating Port by 31 is part of that but is to be expected I guess

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
you played very well today, and have been unlucky with performances and had bad luck with injuries so far this season.
the eagles are doing ok because even when we dont play that well, we still come away with the 4 points.
are you bagging your own team?Ari said:You beat 16th..

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
Apart from the gf, which we lost by a kick, name the games we lost in Melbourne last year that were necessary for us to win to debunk your theory?
We never play well at the dome because it isn't a football ground, much like the SCG.
In fact, I have a theory of my own. I believe a team that plays the majority of their games at the dome can't be serious contenders for the flag.

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
The thread is are WC the real deal. The fact remains they cannot perform in Melbourne. Those were the previous 3 games in Melbourne so they would seem relevant, and the Essendon question mark was to signify that it may have been worse with either Lloyd or Hird today given they had a 10 point 3/4 time margin already. Seemed simple.

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
I wasn't particularly happy with our peformance today, but we got the 4 points again, and are far from our best. As has already been mentioned countless times in this thread, we're 3 from 3 on the road this year.
We were one kick from taking it all last year. I'm not concerned.

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
WC had chance to win 3 trophies last year
- Pre season cup final - got flogged by eventual wooden spooners Carlton in , wait for it ... Melbourne
- Minor Premiership - got beat at home by Adelaide in R22 to lose that
- AFL premiership - lost to Sydney (who not only had to travel to a different state for the last 5 weeks of season, no weeks off and AFL had to apologise for umpiring errors that cost them the first Perth final) but it was in , ummm .. Melbourne.
Is thata trend ?

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
mate have you considered that the teams u mentioned, pies and dons accually played decent footy that day. sure we werent at our best today but the game could have been 40 points if embley kicked straight.
what weakness are we talking about? losing in melbourne when for every 5 games, we win 3 of them. are you expecting us to win all our games this year? surely ur high standards are not suitable for the afl.
get over yourselves and move on. our forwards are improving and so is our form so all of youse shut up!

ahhh fair enough, so from now on unless every team has their best 22 out on the park the result will be made inconsequential to judging the quality of victories.iscah said:

Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
it is a trend. That were good enough to make it this far and soon enough things are likely to turn around and we should be bringing that premiership cup back to Perth.
It would be good if there was another team doing good things for West Australian football.

How many games do WC need to win in Melbourne in order to finish top 2?de_LICA_ish18 said:
Re: Eagles: Are they the real deal?
Umm no. Do you think that Lloyd and Hird may be significant outs for a team 16th on the ladder ? You take Judd and Cox out of WC may be a similar comparison and may cost WC 3-6 goals. But at least WC have some depth to recover. For a team that is 16th these are massive outs and most people expected WC to win by lots. The fact it is in Melbourne (that place again) just proves the point that is being made by many non-WC supporters.
Whilst the GF is played in Melbourne plus the possibility of other finals it is also an issue for WC

So team depth comes purely down to luck, not smarts?
