What They Are Saying at Westlakes

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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
