Game thread vs the Eagles

[573v30]

And things haven't got any better...

West Coast 8.7 55
Sydney 2.7 19

I hope Roos gives the players an absolute spraying after their poor first half of footy. There's still a chance we can steal the game from the Weagles but it must involve getting hold of the football, winning clearances, playing attacking football and kicking goals.

Who said we are a top 4 material?

I have already thrown two pillows and the newspaper across the room. The dogs ran off before they were next!!

Unbelievable!! FUMBLE, FUMBLE, FUMBLE! WC's pressure has been good but we are playing like deers in the headlights. Jude Bolton playing ok, the rest are a rabble ATM. Long way back. Must be within 20 points at the last change.

I hate the West Coast Eagles and I am so angry that the fumbly swans have turned up. LRT needs to go and Barlow is a marshmallow that needs to harden up.

Barlow is scared. He craps himself everytime he goes near the action. Never again will I mention the word depth.

Luke Ablett, oh so awful.

Jolly getting pumped at the centre bounces. The seas just part for Cox.

Actually Jude Bolton is one of the few having a go. As is Mcveigh.

How many frees has LLLLeeeeooo BBBBBaaaaarrrryyy given away.

Dont blame the umps we are pathetic.

Is it my imagination or is the attack on the ground ball down right across the team? I've lost count of the number of times a gaggle of Swans has just run past a loose ball and allowed an Eagle not only to pick it up but also to have time and space to kick it.

Goodes disappeared in that quarter. Fortunately a few others started playing marginally better. Everitt, Richards, O'Loughlin, Kirk and the two Boltons are at least playing passably. The three muskateers are getting their hands on the ball enough but all look a bit tentative in their usage. Moore's been quiet (though done some decent stuff when he has had the ball), Bevan and Buchanan have gone missing, and I wish Barlow had too.

I tell ya'...WE suffer more than the bloody players or coach when they get this attitude. Stuff 'em.
I can only connect to 6PR today and it is torture.

[Matt79]

The amount of space and free time that the Eagles players have is embarrasing.

[TheGrimReaper]

I need a drink! Anyone care to join me?

Handballing has been woeful.. over-handballing and missing the targets. POOR DECISION MAKING!!!

[Matt79]

I'll have a double shot.

[T-bag]

We don't want the ball. we are just sitting back and waiting for things to happen. All we have to do is be proactive. At the moment no one is leading their opponent to the ball. Do that and we'll do much better. Eagles are NOT playing good. We really ARE that SHIZEN!

Boags for me preferable a whole carton

Sounds like a good idea. Nothing like playing the drinking game when we're done.

1 sip for anytime a Weagles player takes an uncontested mark.
1 chug when Leo gives a free away.

The usual gist.

The amount of space and free time that the Eagles players have is embarrasing.

Agreed. It's been there the whole match which is just freaking annoying. Yet it's something that we've done the whole season but because the Weagles are making us pay for it, it's looking worse than normal.
