look to be fair when we were up and about we got alot of coverage from 360 and FC. We are a middle of the road team so we don't get alot of media. Thats fine. Just like how the bulldogs barely got a mention.

I get that - I just would have thought that such a big win in a game we were massive underdogs would have got some mention.

I haven't watched 360 for a couple of years now, because Whately is an A-grade flog and Slobbo is... Slobbo.

But... they're probably saving it up for tonight because I believe Mundy will be appearing.

Speaking of tipping, there’s an absolute knob in my tipping comp who hates freo so much that she tips against them every single week no matter what. Maybe that’s what Barrett is doing?

I am such a knob that I tip the dockers every week in the tipcomp (bit of superstition).
This year it will pay off, i was the only one to get it right in R5.
 
Have the club come out and complained about the surface of Optus? Or is that just the Eagles trying to lump us in with them to help their argument?

Either way it seems to have backfired because a lot of people have picked up it seems to be just them complaining about it and not us lol

We love to blame our S&C team; they love to blame the surface
 
Barrett using the faux tough guy act with his overly critical assessment of Freo genuinely makes me laugh. Anyone that doesn’t see it for the headline grabbing floggery that it is should reconsider voting this year.

Their deflection each time they lose is interesting.

On another matter, an Eagles fan rang up 6PR and was slightly critical of the backmen receiving disposal numbers for their kick ins. Said that Hurn got 33 which won him the medal in the derby but 13 (?) of them were just kick ins. Wonder if he would have got the medal over Mundy with only about 20 listed disposals?

Always wondered. If you play on, is that counted as a disposal? That’s stat padding to the extreme.
Hurn does get a lot of cheap kicks though. Put him under pressure, he’s about the same as Gaff getting a contested possession. A snowflake

Simpson say they have a lot of foot/lower leg injuries. Other than Cox who did his in Canberra and might not even miss a game we don’t have any.

Maybe the eagles can play at a half demolished Subiaco Oval for the rest of the season if it’s so bad.

This year if you step out of the box (which everyone does) you get the disposal now

Its the Eagles deflecting attention away from the fact they lost and not as good as they think they are...they did it after the Brisbane loss also
Slimey whingers,!
 
The thing I dont get about Barrett is, he used to be very pro-Ross. Why has he picked this year of all years to jump off?

Mick Murray gave the Eagles short shift, by saying that the ground has been approved by the AFL ( within firmness standards ) and Eagles should be more interested in their team’s performance.

By the way, our Sports Minister knows a good amount about footy ovals. He coached and played in the Collie + South West area.

it used to be you had to kick it to yourself, then the next kick was counted... iirc joel bowden famously had himself as his dreamteam captain and was playing on every time he kicked out lol.

if its just run straight you get a stat they'll need to change that.

Next week they will complain about how cold it is in Geelong and how soft the turf is and how thier private jet only had one hostess to bring the perrier and baby oil
 
Then Hurn gets 50% of his disposals by kick out. Always thought he was overrated. This proved it. Sure he’s a great kick, but for a guy his size, he’s pretty soft
Me and my Mates (Some eagles there too) were very surprised later that night when we found out he had won the medal, definitely hadn't seemed like a 33 touch game, tbh wasn't really any standouts from that game, Taberner could have been if he kicked straight

Hurn and to a lesser degree Tom Stewart are the only ones with significantly bigger numbers as a result of the rule changes iirc, Hurn is averaging 4+ more disposals/kicks a game

Thought he was average too. He wasn’t his usual best. So had overinflated numbers. Feel like they should not count the kick. I mean it’s 15 m head start, run up and hit a target. Disposal Efficency also goes up.
