To anyone who thinks Freo is genuinely a ten goal better side than WC..

[Bretski]

This loss will seperate freo and the eagles for the finals (presuming that freo win next week) so it was really win win, good result

 

[section8]

You brought up the Gabba weak excuse. The Richmond comparison was merely to show that if anything Freo 'improved' the week after the Gabba match.

The temperature in Brisbane does not change much at all in winter. Always is fine and warm and game started same time for both matches. I think you have lost your point but who cares anyhow ??

It was 27 degrees. You'll find most winter days in Brisbane are around 21.

There was an obvious lack of motivation for WC today. If you want to remain blind to ladder positions explaining the safe, hands-off "zone" defence used by WC today rather than the savage man-on-man approach that saw us comprehensively dismantle the crows and saints then that's your prerogative. We can switch it on and off at will. We've proven it all season.

Kerr = God Give Up Okay Get Over It The Gabba Excuse Is Hopeless At This Moment In Time Freo Are A 10 Goal Better Side Then Wc.

 

[moistie]

On the day, yes.

West Coast's best footy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Freo's

And if my aunty had balls she'd be my uncle. You lost to Freo. Twice this season.

Face it, they play well against you and don't allow you to play your "best footy".

 

[Kerr=God]

. We can switch it on and off at will. .

Bingo.

And when we switched it on in the 1st term, Freo couldnt go with us in physicality, intensity or disposal.

Unfortunately we simply didnt grab our chances to break the game open, we hit the wall like we were always going to after last week and Freo overan us.

It would of been interesting to see how Freo responded if we had of kicked those goals in the 1st quarter and the start of the 2nd. Logic would say are legs would still of gone before there's did, but we are still yet to see the Dockers really come back from the canvas (five/six goals down) IMO. If i was Chris Connolly with the finals a fortnight away, id love to see how the Dockers would respond in that scenario. If the Dockers have another easy win next week and kill off Port by half time, you have to wonder if they will be able to go up another gear and manage a pressurised four quarter effort or come from behind if its required.

 

[PAFC2004]

Sour grapes.

 

[Smell The Glove]

Freo are definitey not a ten goal better side than WCE, but they are a very, very good side. Would love to see a derby in the first weeks of the finals, because Fremantle is fast become a major premiership threat. All depends on whether they can will in a pressure situation in Melbourne or not. The finals shall be interesting however.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Great stuff. Hopefully the Farmer show will come to the MCG in September.

 

[juddy_Like]

Somehow i had a feeling this will happen.
FFS we got shat on in the worst possible way today. Anyone in the know-how of anything football watched us get spankked left, right and centre. No excuses... Sure it was hot last week but be have guys like Wooden, Hurn, Rosa, Armstrong... waiting on the sidelines. Like if Woosh didnt think the players were up for it this week, then he wouldnt of selected them. Simple as That. You could also put up an argument blaming our loss on the fact we didnt have Embley. Sounds stupid doesnt it?

I thought we were watching a WCE 01 team today. 2 good players and the rest passengers who cant hit their target. Fletcher missed .... times. Sampi please go to the Ben Cousins School of Hard Running please. Ditto Butler. Rowan jones practice your goal kicking... mimimum distance 30m Out. FFS these are the excuses for why we lost. But yet again excuses are useless as they dont get you the 4 points do they.

Well done Freo... But if we do mean again in 06... bet your bottom dollar your going to be in for a real fight unlike today.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

congrats on freo for a good win. we werent at our best but you guys put it right at us. excellent for wa footy the fact that both wce and freo occupy 1st and 3rd respectively. could be a wce vs freo gf. who knows.

Only if you've never read any of Kerr = Injured's threads before.

Good to see UNIT hasn't changed a bit.

Suck it up Adolf.

second time i have heard this. Absolute crap. You live in a delusional world.

Because i was at the game today, and i can tell you Freo played well and deserved to win, but the lack of effort from West Coast was a big part of that. We were simply as flat as a tack. Im a proud West Coast supporter and i cant help but fire up when i know my team didnt produce what it can and i know the opposition supporters are going to write us off.

Yes Freo were too good on the day; im man enough to admit that. But at the same time i hope Freo supporters dont read too much into today's scoreline and think they took on West Coast at there best and pumped them. I know the Dockers players wouldnt be silly enough to think that, so i hope there supporters arent either.

Thats why i started this thread.

I know it seemed like sour grapes, but its pretty normal to want to defend your team when you know there not at there best on a given day, and that they were simply beaten by a side that wanted it more and had had an easier lead up to the match.

There is a difference beetween getting pumped because your flat and under done and the opposition wants it more, and being pumped because your a rabble and the opposition is better than you.

My basic point is this; if Dockers supporters think todays scoreline indicates that there side is over the course of a season unquestionably a better side than West Coast....they are mistaken.

 

[ImperialPurple]

My basic point is this; if Dockers supporters think todays scoreline indicates that there side is over the course of a season unquestionably a better side than West Coast....they are mistaken.

When Freo pumped your lot by 60 points in the pre-season, weags fans came on saying... "if you think that was us at our best you are mistaken.... don't get excited Freo fans, it's just pre-season and it means nothing... wait till the H&A and then we'll show you the real eagles..."

H&A rolls around and Freo beat WCE twice in the same season with one of those wins being today'e effort by 57 points. Now there are a number of weags' supporters saying.... "if you think this was us at our best you are mistaken.... don't get excited Freo fans, it's just the H&A and it means nothing.... wait till the finals and then we'll show you the real eagles..."

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm starting to see a bit of a pattern beginning to emerge here....

You seem to be the one who thinks that today;s scoreline indicated that WCE is unquestionably a better side than Freo??

I don't see many Freo fans saying much other than we won a game of footy today - isn;t it great. Saying how great it is to be looking like causing some commotion in September for the 1st time in our history.

You are arguing against a figment of your own imagination!

 

[Burnzy]

The forward line wasn't the problem. It hardly go there

Funny that, I seem to remember both teams finished with an almost identical number of possessions and inside 50s. We were simply more efficient and far more aggressive.

Kerr=God=Sore Loser, your pre-emptive defence betrays your self-consciousness. If I had started a thread saying OMG FREO ARE A 10 GOAL BETTER SIDE THAN WCE LOL WTF than it would be perfectly natural for you to mount your case against such a statement, but you raised this spectre yourself. FunkyFreo has hit the nail on the head, You are arguing against a figment of your own imagination. I don't see too many freo fans here going over the top, and I don't see many Eagles fans agreeing with you. If you were a Freo supporter I would be embarassed.

Now go home and burn an effigy of Jeffery Farmer to relieve some tension.

 

[kidstyler]

we won!

we are better!

simple!

 

[sammyg77]

we won!

we are better!

simple!

Doesnt quite work like that unfortunately..........We could then say to you we are on top and have beaten more teams than you, are more consistent than you etc etc etc.

All you will end up doing is going around in circles.

Best thing to say is that Freo were better on the day. SIMPLE!!!

your only as good as your last performance!

After Adelaide lost we had little to go hard for.

You'll know where you're at relative to us in a fortnight. Though by all means, continue talking yourselves up until then.

 

[bresker]

If only talking your team up & putting down others counted for something. West Coast would be premiers every year.

West Coast fans= cross between Walter Mitty and Napoleon Bonaparte. All talk and no trousers. Arrogant tossers who live in a protective bubble where the Weagles are, like, the greatest team ever! Even when they get flogged!

Most supporters of other teams eat a bit of humble pie & suffer from self doubt when their team gets flogged.

Not the Weagles. There's always a good excuse why your team gets beaten. You're all on some sort of Weagles-brand mind control pills formulated in Woosha's secret lab below Subiaco.

Keep believing your own propaganda. Have you got the "WC Eagles Premiers 2006" T-Shirts printed up yet?
