WEST COAST EAGLES v NORTH MELBOURNE - Rd 8 2013

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Any lover of the game has a right to be upset tonight.



The only teams you have beaten are Melbourne, Bulldogs, Brisbane and North. And none of them have you beaten convincingly. Oh yeah, you lost to us too.

Still 1 game behind and playing like shit bit of a worry isn't it when we start playing well. Getting nervous of getting pumped by Sydney are we? And once again it's not about the nearly men with the nearly coach from the nearly good enough little brothers down the road. Come back when you won something that matters.

Closed for clean-up.

Also do not use material from club boards as ammunition on main board threads. This goes to both West Coast and North supporters. Thanks.

I don't know why people would complain about the umpiring.

The Selwood free was there and so was the Shuey one.

Should we forget that JK couldn't even buy a free.

We were the better team overall. Both teams played well but we let ourselves down with terrible goal kicking.

We kick just half of those bad misses and we win by 30+.

I thought we were cooked at half time, but we came out the better side.

Has everyone overlooked that that wasn't what the free was paid for? It was the 'second high tackle on the ground'.

I couldn't care less who wins out of these two, I don't like either of them. So it comes from a totally unbiased point of view when I say North were robbed.
WCE get a stupid amount of head high frees, more than double my team, but that guy didn't even get touched above the shoulders. It was obvious first up and on the replays. The ump has paid it for the crowd reaction and he should never umpire again. We need to get rid of impressionable umps. Only pay what you see.

This part is factually wrong. You're clearly biased or didn't watch the game.

this dumbarse is not biased . lol . location gives him away

 

[eaglespremiers]

Is all the post-match banter going to center on a couple free kicks?

 

[Falchoon]

That's the second time Selwood has tried the 'Selwood lean' into Boomer Harvey.

Dude he's 5' 5", it aint working.

3rd time's a charm

Sitting down with a guest this evening to talk to them about this game. It is their most memorable game (NMFC supporter), and continues the series of discussions about games people will never forget. As someone who has only followed the game since 2016, I absolutely love delving into the history of the game, and talking with great supporters. Loved reading through the last few pages of this thread as well.

Should release the episode in a day or so (and am continuing my preview episodes for all 18 clubs for 2023....can't wait to bring those to you!)
