Match thread v Eagles

[dragit]

While we are lacking a bit of polish, west coast are pretty s***.

Such a bunch of soft front runners, not interested in laying a tackle.

Gaff, shuey, Wellingham, Cripps, hill, masten, butler - whole lot of soft right there.

Dempster for the 2nd week running looks like he's seen a ghost.

could it be that he is trying carry the whole backline?

Do you think that's why he's fumbling more than a 14 year old trying to unclip a bra. Sorry but wont cop that excuse.

[Con Gorozidis]

Is this a joke?

[magnifisaint]

What is it with that f****** no2 umpire. This is crap.

[Scollop]

Billings kicking?

If you're talking about whispy's commentary, I think the drugs saga has stressed him out to the point where he has NO -eFFn -Idea

What does that mean?

I was talking about Tim Watson confusing our players. I thought that's what you meant.

Basically, the 7 commentary team is crap. Tim Watson and Basil Semplis keep stuffing up players names/numbers

How many f%$@#ing frees do they get. This is a disgrace.

[Con Gorozidis]

Well worked Saints.

[magnifisaint]

f****** umpires are destroying the game

[gringo]

The umpires had better be investigated for betting. This is the worst game ever from them.

[Scollop]

"2 full revolutions and still no free"

[gringo]

WTF is happening with them they must have the most mentally deficient referees of any sport.

[Con Gorozidis]

that free against hickey was more crap
then one ump tries to argue out of an obvious on the full

[footyhead]

Not watching the game but following on internet. So question to the people watching. I've noticed our free kick difference between our opponents seems to be vastly against us. Seems a trend this year. I think the games when we are close or have won the difference is minimal. So it seems umpires are having a huge effect on our results. So is it a luck thing or is it our technique? I mean are we bad at understanding the rules? Just seems a bit of an area we need to improve on. I maybe that one-eyed supporter, blinded. I'd be interested if it's just me seeing this or it is a trend with the clubs lower on the ladder. Could be luck that the umpire misses most of the lower teams frees but sees the perceived better team ones.

P.S. 7min mark of last quarter 10 us 20 them.

[gringo]

This is a disgrace. They should be gaoled for incompetence.

[magnifisaint]

Dempster is in la la land

It is just plain corrupt or incompetence.

[gringo]

They can see the lightest brush as a free the Eagles way and we need to be sent to hospital to get the same call. The AFL has a real problem.

[Freebird]

IMO dunstan hickey newnes longer membrey templeton are a long way from being afl statndard then you have dempster who does some great things but also many fumbles turnovers ets

[dragit]

The Hickey/Longer combo has failed today.

[magnifisaint]

Hill is such a soft c**k player

[Con Gorozidis]

Not quite sure why the coach is so in love with Templeton and Dunstan is doing ok but plodding along.

[Con Gorozidis]

Ok so Acres has some pace when he puts the foot down. We just saw it. Hes not slow as some have said.

If you mean they are not as accomplished as players who've been playing for 5 or 6 seasons, and lack the consistency of battle hardened players in a solid, mostly unchanging, team environment, then I'd agree. All those players just need more experience.

[dragit]

Acres has some freakish qualities, has to play a full game next week - love him.
