Who's hosing anything down? Many Eagles fans think we are genuinely in trouble - and no one's have a knee-jerk reaction over getting belted. The simple fact is the Eagles as of this afternoon are officially in trouble. Their flag chances nosedived today - not because they lost a game but the predicament they find themselves in regarding form and injury.
It's very much a big bump on the road to finals this year. They need to get the midfield back up and running without Judd because of his injuries and also trying to find someone to replace Kerr while he does his time on suspension.

Of course he does - he's a regular deep throater.
Re: West coast can still win the flag. Only a fool would write them off
1. Geelong, 2. Hawthorn, 3. Collingwood, 4. Adelaide, 5. West Coast and so on... you'd win the first round quite comfortably, but than you'd have to verse Adelaide at AAMI, than Hawthorn, and if u win that u verse Geelong in the GF. Sorry but to have a good chance of winning the GF you have to finish in the top 4.
I doubt that, 5 have to go out for 5 to go in. They'd have to average 40 possesions at least to get an extra 150 possesions. 40 possies x 5 players (possessions from the ins) - 50 (minimum possies from the guys that were in that are being replaced) = 150
Doubt that, yets say the ladder finishes as

I'm still a believer.
There's still enough time for us to turn it around, win our last four games of the H&A season, pinch a home final and head into September with a head of steam.
That might not happen, but we're not gawn yet.
When you get belted like we did today, it creates doubts about your chances.
But WC will still be in the top 4 after this weekend, and the side that takes the park in R17 will very different to the one that had its pants pulled down today by Port.

Round 8 2004
Kangaroos 21.14 (140)
Port Adelaide 7.6(48)
Port won the flag that year
Shows premiership teams can be thumped by 90 points during the year and still go on to win a flag

Mark it down: The Eagles are gaaaaaaaaawn!
They may stumble into the finals, but that is all. Perhaps if they played Adelaide every final they could win, but yeah...
They have relied heavily on run, and athleticism, and haven't had a solid spine that gives solidarity. Without a fleet of class runners they are very ordinary, because the game plan of the recent successful 2 yrs has been just a mayhem of overwhelming the opposition with run and numbers and that's it. Tactically Worsfold isn't that great, and to me would hardly have the capacity of throwing up anything creativite that would catch the opposition unaware.
End of the era? One hickup year, but with a return of injured players, they could juice up the runners and overwhelm once again next year.

I don't think WC are gawn.
Disappointing to let the Swans back in, but we played some good footy tonight.
Big game against the Bulldogs next week.

What? Another thread bumped by Gunnar...what a shock! I bet you have a little giggle to yourself each time you do it
Considering their injuries, while you had your best team, plus the umpires, I wouldn't be gloating too much.

What do you have against threads being bumped?What? Another thread bumped by Gunnar...what a shock! I bet you have a little giggle to yourself each time you do it
That's the whole point of people's posts being recorded - we can refer back to them at a later date.
I don't understand why you refer to bumping a thread as though it's against the rules or bad form.

I don't have a real problem with the odd bump here and there but you seem to do it more than most. Why is that?
Is it really the whole point? Where does it say it in the "forum constitution?"
So why do you continue to bump threads? Does it give you some self satisfaction?
Do you like being the first to rub it in? Is this your way of "educating the savages?" To bump threads in which people have made an opinion/prediction and it doesn't quite go the way they thought
Because it's silly. Look on the first page, most posters in this thread were Eagles fans.
I think most of us knew the Eagles would win at home against Sydney, and with it being Cousins's come back game.
And this weekend we see a complete reversal.
The only thing guarenteed is that Geelong will finish the season in top spot. Everything else is completely open.

Wow - that's compelling.
I reckon the people who don't like threads being bumped are the ones who make stupid comments and don't like to be reminded of them.
Like the putz who started this gem before last year's GF:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=272408
I understand why you don't like threads being bumped.
Read the rest of my post.
Yes a very stupid comment from myself. West Coast wins by only 1 point, with very limited scoring in the second half, and most scores in the first half coming from midfielders.
You are kidding? Even the commentators who were pro weagles & on benny watch, all said that the weagles were getting the best of the umps, but then what else is new.
I see injuries are OK as an excuse when the boot is on the other foot Mantis.
Last week, when a non-eagles supporter was talking about the injuries we had, you said "Here come the excuses
" yet you feel perfectly fine to use them as a reason why Sydney lost, along with the typical umpires whinge.Why is that? Do you really hate us that much, are you that consumed by bitter and twisted thoughts that you can't possible fathom a deserved Eagles win? Actually, don't answer that.
Go Eagles
Also we were still missing Nicoski, Fletcher and Wirrapunda from out best 22, so don't give me this best team crap.
