These [censored] wce supporters are close to being insufferable. 

They already are in my books.

Neal Bullen with 7 tackles to half time

Each game brings its unique challenges which are different from the assumptions made prior. This is a good test. And yet we are double their score.

Fair dinkum, the biased umpiring in the West Coast games should come under investigation. Of course nothing will happen with the protected species they are. Makes watching so hard. 

The Ump #6 is atrocious.  Dumbfounded by his calls thus far.

In a game like this you look for positives........

Fritsch ... maybe

I'm positive we could use the ball betrer and umps could start to ping eagles players for incorrect disposal.

Fritta on fire. Oliver his usual self. We are using are wings again well. Anb working hard.

We've had a very hard start to the season. Im happy to just get through this game with a win. And no injuries. We are travelling again next week.

Didn't think he was still around

We are doing ok. It’s hot, the Eagles have a plan, and 4 supporters on the field pretending to be umpires.

I feel like some of our players are doing well. Jack Viney is growing with every game, Nibblers tackling has been great, and Fritta knows where the goals are.

Koz needs more work on his goal kicking. It’s a raffle. He’s much better in traffic.

LOL how quickly it goes from 100 point thumping percentage booster to I just want a win.

Good sides bury this mob with 7 out, it's all about percentage for this game.

[Tom Dyson 1,633]

If we ratchet up our own pressure and really crack in and win contested footy, we’ll do much better from stoppage and that should hopefully clear up transition from d50.

Trac has 2 contested possesions, no tackles and 1 clearance so far. Needs to lift.

He will.

The Eagles are cracking in and taking it on. Nothing wrong with our effort but our focus and attention to details is lacking. Would prefer us to simplify and stop the Hollywood handballs. 

Yeah credit to WC for putting in the effort but we have not come to play. We are taking it too easy. Playing loose and not enough effort with ball use. 

[layzie 33,851]

Let's get off to a good start 

[Deecisive 1,709]

I always worry about games we should win easily that we get to complacent and dont come out to play. today seems to be a bit like that, we lose to bottom sides too frequently. We need them to focus on beating this mob, playing our brand of good football not their wresting match which leaves many decisions in the umpires hands, either to ignore frees that are there or pay them. so far we seem to have gotten the short end of the stick. Given the heavy eagle crowd i dont see that changing in the second half. We need percentage and show that we can beat sides well.

We're a good side but that's just not the Melbourne way.

[dee-tox 4,835]

WC will hit a wall at 20-minute mark. Will still be a 10-goal win.

 

[layzie 33,851]

Paid the mark too early

Kelly has had more touches today than in 2 years!
