The West Coast Eagles bringing the game into disrepute...

[Old Skool]

61-43 inside 50.
13-5 marks inside 50.
35 to 20 scoring shots
clearances 49 to 36.
Annihilation in regards to scores from stoppages.

I'm not disagreeing, but this has nothing to do with "awesomeness" or your HGH/IGF1 program.

Your coach is much better than our coach. This is the simple reason West Coast won.

There is also the psychological effect the tackle free zone allocated to the West Coast players would have had on the North boys today. You tend to get a little apprehensive after the whistle blows for inane shit 10 times in a row.

However, the cattle North had on the park IS better than the cattle WCE had on the park.

If Worsfold had coached both sides, North would have won by 8 goals.

Yeah, it's not our fault we are better than converting goals than you!!

What stain?

Last I checked this was a footy forum, where people discuss.... you know footy.

Interesting that prior the game no one said to me - why do you even care what we think - get off the north board? Or is it just now that i have a differing opinion?

maybe it's just now that you're making a total arse of yourself.

The s**tstain that is a proportion of your playing group.

Duckwood, Hams and Shuey all needs their heads rearranged for the good of the game. Maybe then the shit will stop?

Could he still have got fined for pointing out the ineptitude of the umpires?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

When it leads to the game winning goal I would think it is pretty important wouldn't you?

Another Shuey classic drawing a free kick when there isn't one.

The kid must give good head is all I can say

a game is won entirely in the last few minutes is it?

so we ignore every other score from a free kick prior in the game - and just focus on one decision....

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

were you all complaing about the umps when they constantly cheated in the eagles early days in the comp, don pyke was grabed around the neck in a headlock by a essenscum fan over the fence at windy hill once, ump didnt even blink.

Was that when your players were full of roids? Yes it was.

Did you want the umpire to pay a free against a supporter?

**** me, WC supporters are so used to getting frees for crying that they actually think frees can be paid against supporters as well.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Every score allowed by umpires is ignored!!!

perhaps - or perhaps it's people being overly emotional.....

You name 3 players - but label the whole playing group... interesting.

as you were though.

 

[twce13]

no-one has actually said that. Just that it would have been nice to see the two teams compete on equal terms.

Are you going to tell us that the umpiring was fair and consistent today? Are you really that big an idiot?

I agree that the umps were a bit ridiculous at times, but regardless the better team won. The score didn't reflect the game.

 

[jacko57]

When your club leading games player has staged for as many free kicks over a career as Brent Harvey has, that's a slightly hypocritical comment.

When a large % of your playing group has clearly practised a ducking technique to 'earn' free kicks for tackles that aren't illegal, that's a pretty hypocritical comment.

Now why don't you raise the level of intelligent discussion here by pissing off?

ummmm i take it you didn't follow the track of the thread.

If it's hypocritical for one, it is for the other.

And I never labelled North a s**tstain.... so go figure.

WC supporters trying to validate the free kick count....... What a ****ing Joke! 17 other clubs agree!

NORTH Melbourne coach Brad Scott says he would hate his players to have the Eagles' reputation for ducking their heads to win free kicks.

Exactly what they are - Duckers! They can't win without ducking.

They are a competition wide embarrassment.

The truly funny thing is watching the eagle w***ers in here going in to damage control.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Yep, great work from Scott!!

More..

"Ham, Selwood, Kerr, Priddis, these type of guys shrug their shoulders and ... we need to get low in the tackle. The free kicks were there but for mine it's just like ducking your head.

 

[royals1922]

Although it will be of no comfort to NM supporters, WCE are going to come a cropper in Melbourne and the umps are going to hurt the WCE severely - so much so that you will be able to hear their whines in Melbourne.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

Seriously I just want one Selwood (any of the 3) to be hurt after shrugging a tackle.

It's for the good of the game.

 

[eagles_4_life]

I look forward to playing these arrogant cheating ****s down in Hobart, when they won't have the umps + home town parochial vocal yokels giving them a 5-goal start.

Hopefully, by then, the umps + media will be onto the constant head-ducking, and our players might have been trained to tackle at the hips.

You kicked the first goal though?

 

[theduckfan]

I'd be interested to know if North supporters thought the umpiring cost them the game

Not entirely, but definately did not help us. Seemed like every time we got mentum and hit the front a free inside 50 would be paid against us. Never been more frustrated in my life and had i of been at my place and not my girlfriends jb hifi would be getting some of my hard earned money to replace my TV.

Free kicks 74-55 in North's favour in the 3 WC/North matches in Melbourne in the last decade. 2-1 WC's favour in wins.

Look up the word proportion you mental giant

 

[azreal]

Nobody enjoys this ducking bullshit.. It has gone too far now.. i thought after the Hawks and Eagles game the umpires had starting taking note of it and not allowing such ridiculous free kicks, but no they were all paid today, except of course the one that Scotty Thompson was caught high, in this instance it wasn't given because he ducked... You know, like all the eagles players...

Roo mad, bro?
