VIC BIAS WAS TEH REASON HAWTHORN SMASHED US AT HOME WHEN TOP FOUR WAZ ON DA LINE

I know there are many out there who think this. Can’t have a WA team going back to back.

By 'most' you mean 10 at the 'g' and one at Marvel 3 clicks walk away from the MCG? Most of your 'away' games are in Melbourne too though you are traveling once or twice more this year. Looking at the draw though it's not really a Premiers draw is it? What happened to giving the Premiers a tough draw? Gold Coast has a tougher schedule FFS.

Have a look at our schedule last year to compare. This was our run home for the last six games of the season.

Fly to Alice Springs and play Melbourne.

Fly back to Perth and prepare for North.

Fly to Melbourne to play Carlton at Marvel.

Fly back to Perth and prepare for Adelaide.

Fly to Melbourne to play Richmond at the MCG.

Fly back to Perth to prepare for Hawthorn.

So, West Coast jumped on a plane six times in the last six weeks.

How many times did Richmond get on a plane for their last six games before the finals?

Great effort in coming up with excuses, and I agree that having the biggest home ground advantage in the league is a legitimate excuse because you don't get to maintain that advantage when you play other clubs. It's all just so unfair that the AFL flat out refuses to give you 22 home games, and the government won't relocate Melbourne to Perth. These are both things to which you are entitled, and you should definitely whinge infernally about not getting them.

Never hear this from Freo fans.

Coz it’s a myth. Pav hit 300 games. Maybe if WCE players stopped taking drugs they would hit 300.

One player out of two teams in over 30 years. Well done arseflap.

Is school holidays over yet

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Never hear this from Freo fans.

Besides not hearing much from them at all I think they have a lot more excuses that come waaay before travel to explain their shittness.

Not "coming up with excuses" just comparing post premiership schedules is all. Face it You have the same number of home games in Melbourne this year in the regular season as we do in Perth. What about finals though and where's the Grand Final played again? The most important game of the year? You have a bigger home ground advantage than us.

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Can we still add “injuries” and things like “gastro” to the list along with Mason Cox or are they just exclusively Richmond excuses?

One player out of two teams in over 30 years. Well done arseflap.

In our 135 year history we have had three players hit over 300 games. We don’t exactly pump them out.

Maybe if your players didn’t smoke ice they would hit 300 games.

Not including Cloke? Played 9 years at your club then went to Collingwood for a few years then returned and played another two years at your club? He just gets dismissed?

You can include him if you like.

That's because we are the Biggest club we need a ground that holds 100,000+ people

Nah, we've toughened up and beaten the injuries excuse, remove please.

Mason Cox is Halleys Comet so we don't have to worry about him again.

Can we keep gastro active though please? We still might need that one.

Pav would have retired at 250 games had Freo had someone to replace him with. Instead they forced him to go on. Just like Sandilands who could barely stand at the end. Fyfe will probably be playing at 40.

 

[Coach_Required]

It rained after halftime

 

[tonygeeks]

The only club in the history of the game to have a player rubbed out for providing a urine sample of Gatorade....... it's a massive conspiracy to bring down the Eagles because everyone's jealous of us and the league is sponsored by Powerade

Remember when Tabener was the next Pav

I thought this thread would have really eaten up a 24/7 WC poster like yourself, Oh that's right, You're chefmeister. Not even an Eagles fan.

You have only needed that ground for the last 3 years though, where were these “100,000+ diehard supporters” for the 37 years preceding the last 3?

Classic!

What do WCE players do while they’re in the air? What movies do they watch? Do they play Uno? Who is the best Uno player at WCE?
