POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 18

[CBDees 3,167]

If that match doesn't convince Hogan to re-sign then nothing will!

[PaulRB 6,372]

Played the entire last quarter as if we had two minutes to go... woefully stupid entry into forward line.

And the [censored] umpires.

Yeah was out standing mate, couldn't have played better, hitting targets crisp, lace out 15 metres away.  3 votes Ding

Your straw man response is about as ridiculous as your first post. No surprise, you're one of those "supporters" who only remembers the mistakes, and who only sees players in terms of either all black or all white.

I don't care how poor our disposal and decision making was going forward. The free kick count was 10-2 in the final quarter. Blatant [censored] cheating.

Hogan is massively overrated. Not worth the millions people are taking about.

Our defense was good. Ultimately, their defense was better.

Deplorable umpiring in the last that made it very difficult to build momentum. I never knew how blatant the bias was in Perth because we always get smashed there. It was clear the umps were looking for any reason to award a free.

No. No. No.

Have a look at the inside 50 count and then come back to me about how good our defenders were.

Come on. We robbed ourselves. Our inability to kick straight and make fundamental decisions. It's never the team's fault. The team failed to get the job done on countless occasions.

Wagner's kicking; Chris Dawes; Hogan's inability to be able to lay a tackle; Bernie Vince's lack of leadership and stupidity; and Kent's laziness. Yuck. The most heartbreaking loss of Roos' tenure.

Maybe I was a bit quick to vent my spleen, but a 50% distribution of the 50/50s in the last quarter also gets us over the line.

Feels like we just found a way to lose that

I am distraught over this result, but this is garbage.

"ooohh yes we tried so hard and it was in Perth and the umpires were against us and we are so young" ........ FMD!!!!!!!!!!

[leehow 303]

So many f'wits on here. If people can't see that we are improving and that that was a great effort, they are [censored]. Bloody shattered to lose, but so many ridiculous supporters here.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Hard to win when you're playing against the crowd and the umpires,  Ffs every 50/50 in that last quarter went to them! [censored]!

In 12 months time we win games like that by 5 goals.

Dean Kent played his guts out today, Poor call!

The back six by itself might not have done a stellar job, but our defensive pressure as a whole was outstanding.  They still scored from less than half of their entries which, when you consider who plays down there, is not a bad effort.  Makes things much easier when our midfield runs themselves into the ground like that to provide the pressure.

Mate you seriously have no effing idea

[olisik 4,060]

Blaming umpires will not help us kick last quarter goals. We need to learn to do that ourselves. 

[P-man 13,366]

RIP tv remote. We had some good times.

The biggest inside 50 differential that West Coast have ever conceded at home. And we still didn't win.

A step forward. But it should've been a massive stride.

That's what I'm highlighting with the inside 50s. Overall the pressure was great for most of the game, but when they did get it inside 50 we were beaten easily.

 

[Sigil 1,001]

Should have been the players rallying call today and show how we can win.

I know why we didn't beat St. Kilda last week.

I don't know why we didn't beat Meth Coast today.

[Monocology 1,109]

Umpire practically blew the ball to their end with his whistle that quarter. Farcical.

Heads high kids.

Should've won given the lop-sided stats, but apparently the score was the score and in an alternative reality we might've won. But we shouldn't have won because we lost....

Yeah, I don't disagree with that mate.  There were times where Oscar was easily done in that one on one situation and we still make some mistakes that hurt.  I like where we are heading, but it can be a tough pill to swallow sometimes.

This is crap!! anyone who knows anything about footy knows that they way that defence worked today was the reason we were in the game at all. You want to blame individuals? fine look into the forward line that kicked 8 goals from 66 inside 50s. Wet or not that is not good enough. 

So it's all the forwards fault, nothing to do with the high long bombs into 7 defenders? Yeah you totally get football mate, well played, there's a lot more to defense then just spooling a ball, offence can be created from the backline, accurate kicking to guys in space which opens the ground up for the forward to run to. You cannot have 4 bad kickers in the back line and expect to win games......

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

The Club just doesn't know how to win ...

it's just do predictable...
