Need a little bit of schadenfreude after that so @Lucifers Hero what are they saying at Westlakes?

Relatively measured responses.  Selections from the early pages:

  • good: top 6 pick
  • Ugly:The green [censored] giving Melbourne free goals
  • 6.13 at three quarter time.  Bad kicking is bad football
  • Play away, look like s**t for periods, play like millionaires for parts, either get in front early and choke, or come from behind and still fall short.   Sick of it.
  • I thought we'd get smacked today. That game sums us up really - poor at the crunch (when it counts), pretty good when not expected to be/allowed to be, ultimately not good enough. Season ended this time two weeks ago - play the kids.
  • Although we lost and had shocking accuracy. We didn’t give up and fought to the death. That’s something to be proud of. We’ve lost by under a goal to Pies and Dees at the G.
  • Umpiring. F me. They throw..., the most simple open blatant obvious holding the balls, no whistle…, they call the block on Sloane…, that 50m penalty with the late whistle and crouch played on straight away was extremely harsh.
  • Which moron didn't pick Nankervis until now?
  • There is absolutely no way that Poort Pear can win a GF against a Melbourne team with those umpires. They have to pray for a Brisbane Pear GF.
  • I just love Tex. Deserves a premiership for the way he goes about it. He’s our Buckley. Legend with nothing to show for it.
  • Been the same story most of the year. We've got as much guts, heart, grit, whatever you want to call it as you could hope for from any team. But my god we lack class and polish.
  • A lot more good than bad.
  • Viney’s free kick that was paid against Worrell is just about the worst free kick ever paid.
  • s**t mids always making it hard for our forwards.. although our forwards shouldve converted their chances.
  • Finals are done. Get games into the future and let's finally get a decent mid in the draft.
  • Midfield did okay today but not the future of the club. Bare in mind they played Petracca mostly forward and as soon as he went in there late he won it and set up Gawn for the sealer.

My favourites:

  • AI umpiring can't come quick enough. Get the cheats out of the game.
  •  I really appreciate your commentary on the couple of minutes you bothered to watch.

 

When we were 30+ pts up I thought my prediction of about 40pts would be on the money.  Not to be.  They fought it out very well. 

We got the 4pts, consolidated 4th spot on the ladder, have ND4 in the bag so all in all a successful weekend!!

    Twitter is absolutely awash with how Melbourne cheated and the umpires are biased towards us.  Obviously they missed the "touched" goal that wasn't touched, or the deliberate out of bounds paid against Melbourne that was done by the Crows.

    In doing these threads I've found every club complains about the umpires. 

    ...Even Bulldogs supporters complain...go figure...even when they win the free kick count by some margin...

    I was livid in my loungeroom re that "touched" goal... Even my darling ( magpie ) wife was aghast....agog...and downright confused...    ..  

    I've lived in S.A.    they're parochial beyond  the pale.

    Westlakes should probably move on now. Beat the Suns in  game you should win and impress the previous week's opposition fans.

    I still haven't forgiven the umpires for the non deliberate OOB at Adelaide oval in 2021. (But I suppose all ended well)

    @Lucifers Hero I think we need a separate “what are they saying at Fremantle” thread with all the melts over their season and lack of draft picks.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
