Round 16 - vs Eagles

[ugg]

He plays better as a floater across half back. Doesn't seem to be good enough to take on the opposition's second best forward.

Hmmm I just got back from Subiaco....and am bloody annoyed.
One quarter of footy made us lose tonight.
All we need to do is play 4 consistent quarters not that bloody hard.
I cant believe noone has brought up the umpiring. In that last quarter especially ROK was basically getting his arse raped from Brett Jones and co and didnt get a free kick. Hang on he even took a mark that was not paid. Dean Margetts YOU ARE A @@@@*** CHEAT

In the end....we probably didnt deserve to win... We looked lost coming out of defence more often than not. Ill be saying a pray for Tadgh to get back ASAP.

Oh and get rid of bloody Bevan!

[sWAns63]

How about ditching both and bringing in Jack as well

[sWAns63]

Yeah

I was there too the push in the back Cox on Everitt would of been a possible goal as well the free kick paid against Bevan was crap

The AFL should look at neutral umpires instead of playing WA born Umps

Gold absolute gold.... and never more apparent than tonight.

This just in: 21st of July will be officially recognised as "Ben Cousins Day" in Western Australia.

Does that mean everyone should have a snort for Ben

I won't, drugs are bad.

The umps definately eroded our lead in the second quarter
The game turned into rubbish in the 3rd
Though we should be proud the way the boys fought out the match
We needed a 5th quarter and we would of got them

While I'll agree they helped the Eagles out (the Bevan FK was an absolute joke) I think it was more to do with our midfield going missing in the 3rd. ROK didn't even see the ball because the Eagles had it all the time.

[WASwansFanatic]

I was talking in last quarter. 3rd quarter we played insipidly.

[doctor swan]

mathews out are you kidding .........the obvious outs first grundy bevan vogels then either of richards or b1

[sWAns63]

Sorry
I forgot about the 30 possessions he gets every week his incredible leg speed and stamina and his ability to take a high leaping overhead mark.

There were three umpiring decisions that had me spitting chips early in the third term. They kind of set the scene, though that doesn't excuse the way we were walloped at stoppages for all of that quarter.

One that particularly irritated me was against B2 for chopping Lynch's arms in the marking contest. Bolton made a legitimate spoil. His hand was on the ball while Lynch's were still being raised. Well after Bolton had spoiled the ball, his arms made contact with Lynch's on the way down. Absolutely no way was that an infringement by Bolton and it gave them a free entry into 50 from which they scored not long after.

[sWAns63]

The one which was most important was at the end of the 2nd term Cox clearly pushed Everitt in the back in our forward line in a ruck contest which we saw cleary from behind the goal WCE went on to kick a goal which meant a possible 12 point turaround.
Since looked at the replay on TV and the camera was at a poor angle.
I guess Cox & the WA umps know where the cameras can't pick it up

[stellation]

Tough game.
