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

Freo had more to play for than us yesterday, especially with Adelaide dying in all respects. In a final with a lot more on the line, I'd expect my team to put in a much better showing.
Having said that, Freo were excellent, have a very balanced side and deserved their win. When we are bad, we are terrible.

the margin is irrelevant, the Weagles were soundly beaten, and Freo will make the top 4.Kerr=God said:

West Coast got caught out playing man on man footy. Woosha knows it, they will not win playing man on man against the dockers. They went out too fast in the first quarter, hence no legs in the remainding quarters. Id love to play Freo in the GF, because I think we can win.
Ive heard rumours that Darren Harris looks set to be leaving the club at seasons end

Not that i'm trying to buy into the argument as whilst it may have been a minor reason for the Eagles getting run of there feet.
But i think the poster was alluding to the fact that last week it was 27 degrees in Brisbane, a temperature unheard of down in Tassie one would think so your above example is really only a bit of cheap points scoring
wow a whole 27 degrees?!
**** that like SO hot!

Its probably pointless trying to explain to you about the climatic variables and humidity of the region, but 27 degrees in Brisbane is more like a mid 30s day in Perth.
But anyway...
Lets look at this way...
* If West Coast and Freo both win next week, they will be separated in the finals draw and wont meet again unless both sides progress to the Grand Final.
* If Freo win and West Coast lose we will have another derby in week one of the finals.
* If Freo lose, they will drop out of the 8 and face a sudden death final interstate.
* If both sides lose, its only Freo that will really 'lose' as West Coast have already secured a home final in week one.
Im prepared here and now to say that if Freo were to beat us in a week one final, i will apologize and admit i was wrong for any comments i made about the Dockers in the wake of yesterday's defeat, be it on this or any other thread. I would also aknowledge that Freo currently has the measure of the Eagles; assuming of course WC and Freo dont meet again in the GF and WC win...by the same token if Freo beats us in a Grand Final i will make my apologies and admit i was wrong etc etc.
My gut feeling is that unless Freo gets a real contest this weekend, they are going to go into the finals as sitting ducks. They have have played in a succesion of one sided games that were over well before the final siren and thus lacked real intensity.
You therefore have to wonder if they will be sharp enough or able to go up a gear when the pressure comes.... and it will come. It came in the 1st term yesterday and Freo failed to cope until the underdone West Coast ran out of legs.
Going into the finals Chris Connolly would be praying for a good hard contest this weekend. If he doesnt get it, i suspect Freo could get jumped in the finals. If that happens its anyones guess how the Dockers respond, but recent history suggests they wouldnt handle it well.

Freo were clearly the better side and at the moment they are the best/ in form side of the competition. At the moment Freo are a better side than West Coast.

Congratulations, you win the prize! That is the most churlish, one-eyed and might I add "head in the sand" post I have seen on these boards in many a long month....
your embarrasing yourself and others kerr=god
learn some sportsmanship from somewhere, will ya

look, the eagles have had a better H+A season, so i would say they are still the better WA side, but the season isnt over yet, and the dockers are playing amazingly well at the right time, so they may yet finish over the eagles.
then they can say they are the better side. one game doesent a season make
eidt: unless its the GF, i guess

I don't think they are a better side I know that they are a better side than West Coast are I think the fact that Freo has beaten you guys twice this year indicates that they are a better side than West Coast.Kerr=God said:

You can talk about ladder positions all you want. The fact is that Freo are in much better form than you and at the moment are BETTER than you. Adelaide are 2nd but are not the 2nd best side in the comp. at the moment. Ladder possies don't dictate everything else.

Lol now your arguing that 27 degrees in brisbane = 35 degrees in perth. ROFL you clown. They use the same system to measure temperature, you might be familiar with it, Celsius. Might be more humid in summer but not so in winter you tool.

Dude do you love living in denial ok heres the facts okKerr=God said:
Fremantle beat West coast 2 times this year ok Yes you guys are 1st but as you will learn that doesnt mean anything in the finals. Freo has beaten you twice so there fore when they play you next there is a huge chance that they will beat you again,Which means they are a better side and not only did they beat you they did it by 10 goals get your head out of the sand and get back to reality West coast are offically Freos bitches for 2006.
For being two games clear ahead you've only won 3 more quarters than us. Face it, you have had problems keeping your mind on the job all year. You blokes got a shock on Sunday. Got no forwards, and forwards win finals. Your a mess Kerr=God
Where did you pull this 27 degrees from? It was a maximum of 23 on the day.Kerr=God said:
