WEST COAST EAGLES v NORTH MELBOURNE - Rd 8 2013

[ojeriojo]

What I learnt from tonight's game: If at first you don't get the free kick, drop the knees a bit further.

Yeah a bit lucky. At the game I was tearing my hair out with each miss. But now i'm glad they missed. Wouldn't change a single thing

 

[Ry009]

The whole 'if we kicked straight' argument is horseshit. Bad kicking is bad footy.

Stings at the moment but we should have iced the game earlier and not let the umpiring be a factor.(which unfortunately was)

what's your opinion on goldstein falling all over schofield on the goal line so he couldn't touch it over the line?

or mullet dragging waters down mid air by the arm which was not only a free, but dangerous.

 

[Gizza]

I dunno but he could probably teach your blokes a thing or two about goalkicking 3.9 from LeCras, Darling and Cox, wow. Lucky you got the win!

If anyone could teach our team about goal kicking it would be the new Coleman leader with his 26.8. Maybe all our guys should take up the stutter.

From the North website. Says it all.

Brad Scott LOL

Clock doesn't matter once the siren's gone.

Exactly, there's no time to waste since the game has ended. This is a really stupid line of attack.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Pfft. Shuey is a cheat and the umpires reward him week in week out. He is a blight on the game. For that matter so is Hams, Scott Selwood and your match winner Adam Selwood.

No doubt you would defend Crowley who goes out every week looking for some cuddle time with the oppositions best midfielder and one of the biggest stages and in the game in Frodo. Then when Shuey gets a real injury you crack a spaz. Like i said, low quality poster.

 

[Forget the Stats]

Well I really enjoyed the game as it was a lot more free flowing than most games. Feel a bit for north but what a mark and finish from Nicnat. That's what we all watch the game for.

 

[Roobound]

Scott Thompson on the wing running along the line hands in the air being held ball goes out of bounds Thompson says what about the hold.
You clearly hear the ump "I thought you were both holding" l pissed myself laughing truly this is getting amateurish.

Geishan needs to go & so does KB. To many soft c*cks on the rules committee is why the game is where it is.
I care little about the 2 frees being discussed, this game (AFL) needs some corrective adjustments to rulings NOT RULE CHANGES.

Good luck to the coasters, not enough composure at the end of the day.

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

ROBBED ROBBED

right in front of me!! Right in front of me!!!!!!!

 

[SloppyJoe]

Classic finish; a duckwood, a dubious late free, possible moty and then a kick after the siren to win the game by the leagues most hyped player.

Best finish I have seen live. Crowd went nuts.

I've enjoyed the banter with North fans this week and something tells me it is going to go up another notch next time as a result of this match.

It's ironic that everyone is complaining about the dodgy frees except for the most likely candidate, Brad Scott. Kudos to you sir.

 

[blaisee]

they play for free kicks, its a definite tactic and a disgrace.

Complete joke this league, every week the team playing west coast get screwed by the umpires, yet no one ever does anything about it.

 

[beez]

Pathetic shit from a pathetic excuse of a side.

F*** off with this lack of effort.

Nice vindication for those who put your name forward to mod this board.

At 29s, does Swallow's right elbow not make contact with Selwood's head? It's funny that the video fades out when that happens, considering that's what you're arguing about...

 

[Avalor]

Credit to Wet Coast for taking their opportunities when it mattered but HOLY MOTHER R@PING SHlT!!! Has there ever been such one sided umpiring in the history of the VFL/AFL? I'd like to like think my side's copped a few poor calls but Jesus. What about the trip that didn't touch Lecras? What about the mark directly in front that wasn't touched! Farking he'll!! I hope we never have to play West Coast at home.

What a twat! Freo ... say no more!

Nice vindication for those who put your name forward to mod this board.

As far as I'm aware, being a mod does not exclude me from having a (within rules and guidelines) good old-fashioned rant/meltdown in a gameday thread about some deplorable football at the time.

 

[TheKanga]

I actually hate Selwood and Shuey, cheating pricks!

Get off your high horse mate. Obviously after I posted that I saw that he hurt his ankle. But it doesn't change a thing. Your win tonight was all to do with the umpiring, instead of going for the ball players like Shuey and Selwood drop their knees for the free kick. It's gutless Footy


Go celebrate the win that you didn't deserve. You are playing crap Footy this year.

Anything against Swallow here would be disgraceful imo.

 

[QS]

Selwood ducking. Never never never a free kick. The umpire has just cost North the game. North have every very right to be feel robbed then.

My avatar says otherwise.

Not winning the game was even worse footy.

Ironic hey?
