Do you reckon the Pies supporters went home at quarter time last night?

Big difference, they were home and we are horrible away. I know the Eagles. Zero chance we come close

I'll hang around til 3/4 time then reassess

This. That was always my rule when I used to go watch the Blues many moons ago. 3/4 time then off if there wasn't a show. Beat the traffic.

I stayed to the end of every one of those thumpings. It was a record margin every 2nd week. I remember there was 1 game against Collingwood where everyone around us left at 3 QT. Justin Davies went nuts in the last quarter and we came back to win.

This...

When your team is down is when they need you most... plenty of band-wagoners when times are good...  :P

I expected we would win today but not by this much.

We have played really well in the last 3-4 weeks in the first half but not running out games. Still being affected by the 4 games in 20 days because of Anzac Day. We seem to be over that now and running games out better.

I finally give into getting Yeo this week because of his bye and Myers will probably outscore him

Ha, ha!
Whoever is doing the Fanfooty.com.au scoring icons for this game has out 'spacemen' next to the whole West Coast team  ;)

If Gaff, Kennedy and Yeo can stop junking up that would be nice.

Yeah, that happened a couple of times and I'd be on the train to Sandy, with the earphones on ...

It was a thrill for me to go out to Pi=rinces Park to watch the Blues - win or lose. I was from the sticks and never had such a thrill as AFL games. But - it's a journey to get home, too. Balance.

That flip up that Darling does always impresses me.

About the only impressive thing about him :P




So glad I was working and missed the game, will put myself through a replay though #Eaglesarelove #Eaglesarelife

We're a very average side though still, top 4 is a bonus at this point, not an expectation.
