Umpiring's been off but we've benefited at times too (e.g. the "sling tackle").

That wasn't high from Garlett, nor did he throw it in a prior passage.

Wasn't much in it but I doubt Oliver will be fined, Rance's dive was 10 times worse last week and he got a free. Need to start turning our rare entries into 50 into goals. 

Holy shizen I'm gonna get on a punch up the way this is going.

Eagles supporters are flogs.

Just win this Demons.

@binman, I have a % sign all drawn up in red and blue just ready for a big last qtr.

Crotch of crabs. 

harmes ,pedo,bugg ,anb need to do more to help viney who is terrific

 

84 kicks to 130 handpasses - that seems a bit out of whack at the moment.

On the replay it looked at a bit of a soft blow. 

Anyway we need more out of Petracca and Pedo. Maxy is having a great game back and Jack is just leading the way and having a blinder. Best half of footy he has ever played. 

Is Oscar on Drew? Because he needs to tighten up on him big time. To many times there has been a mismatch with Jetta having to take him. 

Sorry but when Watts comes back either Bugg or Neal Bullen have to go. 

We need to take our opportunities when we get a shot on goal.

Let's not overlook Viney's greatest half of football ever. 

Perfect. 

best I've seen him play

Oliver looks upset in the rooms

Pedersen needs to lift or he will lose his spot to Watts next week.

Doubt we would drop someone for an average game on occasion

That McGovern tackle was fair and hard, we would applaud it if it was us doing it. And that free against Jeffy was bulltish, he dropped at knees like a $2 hooker.

We're leading in Perth despite having about 5 players with either no influence or playing awfully - Garlett, Pedersen and Melksham all struggling, Hunt and Oliver being tagged out of it.

I can't believe how good Gawn has been after a 10 week layoff. Viney playing his best game for a year, if not longer, Tyson dominating in the clearances.

ANB's decision to kick instead of pass to Bugg was a bad one. Hannan should have kicked his late shot too. Either of those give us a nicer buffer but I'm pleased to be leading in the circumstances.

And on that last skirmish, either Schofield is a dog or Oliver will be copping a fine for staging. I'd be surprised if Oliver would take a dive like that but it did not look like much contact, that's for sure.

Viney picking up the slack. Stepped up as captain. Awesome.

If Pedo can kick some with Jeffy we could win this. Oliver to fire up after elbow jab in the mouth,

Clarry staging is frustrating. I hate it in our game, and I hate seeing one of our own do it. 

West Coast fans rising fast in my most hated.

According to BigFooty it's because he's torched his reputation forever. I have a feeling he's regretting having dived.

Jack Viney has been Huge. Reckon Oliver will be fired up in the second half.

wish i was there would jump in belt em

Jack Viney has 16 contested possessions.  There are only three other players on the field who have 16 of any type of possession (Tyson, Lewis, Mitchell).  Playing the game of his life, the skipper.

We're in this right up to the eyeballs. 

Carn boys

Jack Viney should have in no way been given the captaincy to handle by himself as evidenced by his efforts tonight as the sole captain...heh heh heh heh...ahhh for those who doubted - yer a bunch of flogs

Actually it was a perfect sling tackle. Arm pinned, spun and slung with no opportunity for the tackled player to protect the head hitting the turf, which it did. The only reason he wasn't reported is because Dom got straight up for the kick.

Surely he deserves some benefit of the doubt.  

hopefully that hit on oliver will fire him and the team up. so they come out and play a lot better football than they have. Our defense has been good, but we need to kick those goals, need to be a lot cleaner with our possessions. and do tackles that stick. eagles players seem to be slipping out of our tackles too easily

Not his first time either. 

Good thing is reckon we've still got quite a few that can play better
