I like the sound of that Mike.
Haven't seen the game yet but sounds like a hard fought win. How did Jolly go against their 2 ?? |
Didnt think he'd see the game out, looked fair dinkum like he had been shot, but the Trojan he is, he fought it out. Didn't let Cock and NitWit push him around. Solid game. |

the perth media, the eagle club, players and supporters will want a royal commission into that free im sure. 
its a great time in perth when collingwood beat the eagles. |

Give credit to WCE they kept coming and never gave up.
A quality side that will also go deep into September.

Blairy and Beams were both terrific. Marley had a great last quarter after having a pretty rank first half. Toovey had a good comeback game on Darling and Harry O showed why we shouldn't be too quick to judge. A confident Harry O is vital to our premiership aspirations.
A couple of our fringe players got found out against quality opposition today though. Clarke and Buckley in particular were just atrocious. I'm not sure Simon Buckley hit a target all day by hand or foot and Clarke was West Coast's best avenue to goal for the most part. Clarke's defensive efforts overhead leave a lot to be desired. The loss of Leon Davis really shone through today I thought. Take a Simon Buckley out for Leon today and it would've been the difference between us kicking away when we were 27 points up and WC getting back in the game. Sloppy disposal on the rebound and slow, laborious kick outs really hurt our momentum.
Cloke was very good when it mattered, and some of his 1%ers today were more important than his direct score sheet involvement. Dawes on the other hand continues to flop, both figuratively and literally. He is such a liability these days, you've really got to wonder whether we can win a premiership with only 21 players every week... |
What should be quite apparent to everybody today was that WCE's disposal is superior to ours. Rarely missed a target by hand and foot, especially to their leading forwards. We badly need to correct this flaw by August, or it may well be our undoing. Our endeavour at the contest is excellent, just lacking the 2010 polish.
Corcerned that the last two matches against lower teams may have softened us to a degree, but we got there in the end. Thought we laboured at many stages though, considering we had a weeks break?
Didn't think the midfield read Nat's ruck taps as well as i'd hoped.
Had Pendles been in the middle, he would have smoked them.
Kerr was brilliant. Shifty little bastard.
Oh shit, and Sinclair's terrier like attack on the ball sorely missed too.
Now, that was by far Clarke's worst ever, EVER, game for us. Handing WCE many gimme scoring chances, and totally trainwrecking one of ours approaching 3/4 time. Get used to wearing the colour red pal. Buckley getting his hands on the ball enough, but just hit the target. Not rocket science is it?

Muddy, those turds did their level best to gift the game to WCE. I suggest there may have been a 1986 Victoria Park type riot near the maggots race had we lost. These ruck infringements continue to stupify every single person at the venue, except the three f*kcwits awarding them, on a weekly basis.

Right, the Weevils played an excellent stifling game and are very tough and disciplined. Much like us they contest hard and then run hard into space.
Our talent dragged us over the line - and the fact that Trav beat their back line for the first time in a while, which I bet they never counted on.
I suspect we've got a fair bit more in the tank, however, and with some stability in the line up we should be confident against them. But injuries and fitness will no doubt have a say in things, while the ruck is a bit of a wild card, too, as they did eventually grind Jols down and we would be talking more about it if we had've lost.

Not paying hold in the ball was a game changer, that goal to Natanui would have killed mere mortal sides

We just beat the top team in a thriller and that's your first comment ??  |
Yep. I'll have a better perspective after we play them again, in the second last game of the H&A, at their home ground. At this point of the year, that's the most relevant comment in an otherwise scrappy game. |
Come on mate, yes we didnt play as well as we can, but i reckon the weagles played the best they can against US, yet we still beat em, that is a real real UPSIDE. !! -and we have to get sinclair, pendles, johnno, dids, tazza back yet, so chill out and enjoy the moment buddy. !!  |
That's what I thought when I read the post, how could u b so negative!
Top two teams in the comp and we just never gave up, that's the third time this season that has happened, against cats, bombers now the wet toast.
Love it better than last years come behind bullshit, we are playing almost four quarters
My only neg today is I'm sitting in fricken train instead of the car! First time to he footy since I was 17! Bloody rain!

Great effort to hang on! When we got that run on the third, I thought we had a real chance to blow them away. Unfortunately it got waaaaay too close (those last 2 minutes nearly killed me) but a win is a win.
A few points:
The umpiring was, in a word, baffling. The not-given free after elliot's tackle which gifted Natanui a goal and shifted the momentum.
Dwayne Russell is a complete arseclown. His screeching for a free kick for Cox against Maxy was embarrassing- Dunstall and Roos were really good.
How good are Elliot's hands? His few marks arguably saved the game.
Harry still worries me. Did some good things but still gets caught out of position frequently.
Jarryd Blair (aka Tirion Lannister) was EXCELLENT. He was everywhere tonight.

Cheers Mike, it was only 3 points but I bet that made a big difference to your comfort levels next week in the Wild West.

Very servicable game by Jolly, but is the coach trying to kill him? Needed Wood in the team this week to give him a hand. I didn't see Dawes at a centre bounce all day? And for that matter, where the hell does he hide for 95% of the gametime? Dawes is inventive though - he keeps finding a new way to shit me each week. Total oxygen burner. And how does Fasolo manage to produce the same illusion, and totally vanish for large portions of a game?

Amazing game and a thrilling finish. Williams and Elliot were brilliant in the last and the one thing Young did to gain possession saved a goal.
WCE are a great team but we gifted them far too many goals from dumb turnovers. Stop the turnovers and we can suffocate the game.
My worry is how much longer Jolly can go playing like Stunner McKee. His centre square work is now moving to the centre line and trying to take out the opposition's leap. Between now and finals, teams will work out how to beat this tactic.
We also need to get the third man up at every contest around the ground to give Jolly a break.
I though Jolls did a great job tonight, but I am seriously worried about our ruck situation and the healthy of Jolly.

If we played Wood along with Jolly, we would have lost... comfortably.
Jolly prefers rucking alone anyway. And did a good job too, the Eagles rucks did not have a big impact.

With games like that I'm destined to have a short life - simply amazing.
We had about 100 at the pub 60/40 our way and the manager said the atmosphere (and camarderie) was as good as the prelim against the Hawks.
Call it small man syndrome but I love Blairy - whjat a gun. Bravo Elliot who was amazing in the last quarter. And plaudits to Harry who has had an ordinary yesr. Yeah, he plays by the seat of his pants but he's effective and exciting when it comes off. Some of the handballs from Swanny to plays running by were freakish.
WC are an amazing outfit and have covered their injuries to star pplayers as well as we have. Yes, there was baffling umpiring decisions and I dare say if that game was played in WA, they would have won. The return bout will be special.
