Only consolation is taking their best young player Gaff off them
Get it done Dodoro
What could these idiots possibly be booing - last night there eagles were handed the game on a platter.
The players played their guts out but towards the end you could see they dropped their heads with the on going no reward for free kicks. To me this game has become a joke. I counted at least 8 free kicks not payed in the first half. I think the free kicks were WCE 10 to Ess 2 and the free that was payed to us was in the last 30 seconds of the 2nd qtr. What a Farken joke this competition has become. The same farken team keeps winning the premiership. The draws are all uneven every year. WHAT A FARKEN JOKE. That little turd that has his head up his ■■■■ all the time that runs the AFL, they should get rid off. I have been following VFL/AFL since 1956 and I’m losing my patients in what this great game of ours has become.
Wouldn’t say this has been a ‘breakout year’ but I’m glad Joe is showing a bit. Bodes well for next year.
3 goals. With supply both poor and limited? Excellent return.
I would like to apologise to my family via Blitz for my behavior last night. However, I feel as though last night, there were exceptional circumstances.
I don’t normally accept that ruck infringements are free kick worthy, but after Leuy got molested for the 5th time and was called to play on and then Lycett received one a minute later, I lost my ■■■■. Everything else after that was just rubbing it in.
Proud of the boys for the effort for 3 qtrs, and to hold their big forwards to a handful of goals with an undersized backline was commendable. Hartley the find of the season for me.
8 to go.
I went fkg bananas about that dempsey free. They are cheating fkg scumbags here. West coast have been getting a free ride here for years. I legit hate themHere’s a story for yas. On the way out, me and a mate we’re tellin one of the security guards he looked like adam mcphee. He didnt take kindly to it, and we were just having a laugh, not being aggressive in any way. The head of security came over as we were half out the door and yelled at us, i then said “calm down mate” which i was met with a push in the chest followed by a “get out you essendon drug cheat cnt” i kid you not. We then went to go make a complaint, and when he saw us talking to another guard (we were asking where to go to make a complaint) he got the cops called over which we were told “speak again and youll be in handcuffs”
I kid you not, we didnt once abuse anyone, or act intimidating, or try to argue the point
That typifies west coast, subiaco oval. I fkg hate the joint.
Tell them, the ground Management, the cops the WCE club. We know, but they need to be told. make a complaint. don’t let it go.
Dont think telling west coast will make a difference. Ive emailed domain stadium this morning though. How anyone could act like that is beyond comprehension. Even if we were being aggressive cockheads (we wernt) thats still no way to react.
What does Stokes do out there on the ground? In the first half he looked like he was waiting for the little league to start and in the second he looked like a little league kid who stayed out on the ground.
“FRee Kick - Tackled too hard” is now a thing.
If there is ANY consistency, we will see this for the rest of the year.
Which means, we won’t.
Does anyone has a gif of the dempsey free?
Something needs to be done about the Dempsey free kick. I’m still angry about it.
The bloke was going full tilt and Dempsey stopped him in his tracks with a phenomenal, team inspiring tackle - all below the shoulders and above the hips.
It makes me sick in the gut that West Coast got the free kick.
There should be outrage in all footy circles about it and I hope it does the rounds on all the footy shows during the week
LOL at these carnts having a grievance about the umpires...clueless farks.
Is there anyone on here that's pretty cluey with making videos? Wouldnt it be great to make a video highlight of all the really really bad umpiring calls and post it all over the internet. Surely it might get some noise going and someone in the afl might have to be accountable for the garbage that is served up week in week out by the monkeys in yellow.Would be interested to see how many times Priddis just drops the ball out of a tackle.
Brownlow Medalists have a career supply of get out of jail free cards.
No they don’t, or at least in Hirdy’s case they don’t. Maybe he just lost his pack of cards when he told the truth about the umpiring and almost got suspended. Best on the field in his next game and not a vote from the maggots.
Surely if the AFL follow their own rules West Coast must be fined for players wearing incorrect attire. Four of them wore fluro green instead of Eagles jumpers.
I couldn’t believe the one where the Eagles player paddled the ball out of bounds in the back pocket with no Essendon player within five metres. Nothing to see here, throw it in.
The tackling issue is bullshit because you can pretty much have a guy Have prior opportunity, go for a fend off, get tackled, get spun 720, have a team mate come in and just hand the ball to him or place/drop it on the ground.And it’s play.
So then you have to try and bury a bloke to be rewarded, but then they serve up this BS.
As a kid I’m sure there was an ‘unduly rough play’ free kick, but rarely seen it paid.
Not quite right Tinhill. Didn’t you see Fanta tackled for a microsecond in the first with no prior opportunity and had a free awarded against him.
You scenario only applies to one team.
My first ever trip to Subiaco, and after fighting for drinks in the zoo called the Vic, primed by three pints and Mrs Fox fired up with four Jacks, we trudged to the ground. It is eerily reminiscent of VFL Park Waverley, only full of people, or rather some very brave Bomber supporters and a bunch of rabid loons.
The ground seems an odd shape, but to be fair from our seats behind the goals at the City End it was ■■■■■■ hard to see much at all.
Bombers played very well in first quarter, should have been in front except for some bad decisions by the Maggots and poor kicking. Our backline was magnificent, clearly undersized, but showed great fight and endeavour. Gwilt, Hartley, Ashby, Gleeson, Dempsey and most of all Matt Dea made me proud.
The ground seemed very soft and our boot stops too short, especially for Walla who didn’t have a good game, slipped many times, kicked poorly and was treated harshly by the Maggots.
Last quarter was inevitable and should be forgotten, though the Boys never stopped trying, they ran out of puff, to be expected when you are playing against both West Coast and Maggots.
Special mention to Leunberger, who is a top ruckman and next if he stays fit will smash it. Zerrett is now a complete player and easily our best, his bro Jerrett had a good game as well, and I would play them both in the middle as they have a great rapport . And if Jamar was playing in another era, I would love to see the fear he could evoke.
Dempsey never stopping trying and his tackle was fantastic. A decision like that can really gut a team and it did.
I have seen worse supporters than Weagles, but the dills behind us who booed their team off the ground at quarter time, really say it all.
Finally, to all you Bomber supporters in the West. You put us mugs in Melbourne to shame, your passion, noise and great support in a land of very strange people at a ground where it would be easy to be intimidated and probably die.
You turned out knowing we would get smashed, stood up and I love you all for it. I apologise that is Members in Melbourne generally do not do the same.
And finally, the Vic after the game turns from Zoo to a free range Zoo, with the animals taking over, we tried to approach but it was too wild, hope our Koala was kept safe !
Dont think telling west coast will make a difference. Ive emailed domain stadium this morning though. How anyone could act like that is beyond comprehension. Even if we were being aggressive cockheads (we wernt) thats still no way to react.
I reckon you should still report it to wc and the afl. Even if they do nothing about it - that would say something in itself. I would tell it to any sympathetic media person too… if you can find one. That is scary stuff.
miss tackle, slip over, over commit, miss tackle, slip over, over commit… repeat.
oh and bend over and get rooted by three little maggots.

I beg to differ. Come and sit in behind our cheersquad at a game in Melbourne. You will hear passion and support.
