Skills are shocking, lot of work to do won't beat saints with simple turnovers 

Tyson isn't exciting me.

Tyson is having a mare, no doubt about it.  Still had 19 possies though and he'll be better for the run.  He is a certainty for Round 1.

Why isn't Trengove playing

Are these umpires on f ING drugs!

Couriers got the shipment wrong. It was supposed to go to the WCE rooms!

Are you actually going to say something substantive or is that it?

This is getting uglier. Almost the 2015 Dees.

Fantastic learning curve, the weagles defensive press is brilliant. 

Just lacking a bit of pace and need to tidy the skills. 

Our pressure and endeavour are top notch.  

Sounds like a minor tweak Cards. Problem is we have been suffering from these deficiencies for decades now in a major way. 1994 maybe the last time we looked like a reasonably competitive team in this area although my memory is somewhat hazey through the fog of so many horror years

Club believed their own hype and got sucked in by the media. Hopefully this brings them back to earth.

Has anyone else noticed that heaps of frees against WC get a replay and none of our seem to? That one against Max was a joke, he was trying to get anywhere near the ball while Petrie didn't care where it was and sheparded max away. 

West Coast just the better team, really showing up our deficiencies, we are very panicky under pressure

Absolutely nothing has changed with this team. Still can't kick and until we can we will be nothing. I notice we have even dragged lewis' kicking down and he is missing them now. 

Having small holes in obvious places and quotes of "Melbourne of old" is strange when we aren't being smashed by over 100 points.

Because we probably cant afford to put an even slower team on the park?

Melkshams kicking has been ok.

We Melbournize everyone. 

Not a pretty sight ringside from Subiaco

You have obviously watched none of our games.

Tall forward dominance by the opposition is de ja vu

Oliver seems to have a tag on him, good learning for him. Viney and Jones are very quiet. Garland doing OK, Trengove unsighted, Watts and Tyson rusty, skills poor. 

Funny I don't think we are playing well at all but we are still kind of in it. 

Salem doing some good things, deserved goal. 

Maybe they'll play Trengove in the fourth quarter? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Tough quarter for us.  I thought we actually controlled large parts of it, but once again the turnovers let us down and we allowed them to kick some very easy goals.

The same players who were up and about at half time continued on in the third.  If we could clean up our disposal going forward then we could have hit the scoreboard more.

Make no mistake - the Eagles are a highly talented, well drilled outfit who know their own deck like the back of their hand.  This result is not necessarily unexpected.

still a Q to go...

we've got this.

Basically playing like this would in the past be 100 points.
