IMO Carlton were robbed Walker badly infringed 5mts out straight in front 30 seconds to go but the guttless umps to shit scared to pay a deserved free.
To come over here with three top line players out and lose another in the second quarter they were the better side by a long way. Lucky weegirls. Now time for your medicine. [next week]
No excuses mate. This is finals time. Your statement that Carlton were a better side doesn't stack up mate. Carlton will be lazing on a beach somewhere while the BETTER side fights it out next week. No prizes for second (or bottom 4 in this case).
I wouldn't say lucky, just a slightly better side on the night. Both teams beat the hell out of each other all night and both teams probably deserved to win, but desperation like Kerr throwing himself at the ball, clashing heads then coming out with the ball were the difference. Judd was very well held most of the night, that also couldv'e been the difference
Eagles did enough to hold off a fash finishing Carlton,
Great game and an even better result that no one would've predicted, not even the most die hard fans at the start of the season. I was pumped, took me an hour or so to settle down after the game
You're full of shit outwide. You've never got anything positive to say and can't accept a good footy side. Plenty of umpiring goes against us well chum.
While there is no official prize for 2nd, 3rd,------and so on , there is still the monetary benefit to the clubs in gate returns, club gear sales, future memberships etc that the clubs that don't finish in the finals miss out on and these can run in to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
To say that Thornton is a top line player is ridiculous... and in my opinion I never want to see games decided by a technical free kick, the game was completely over umpired in the first half and I thought the last qtr was umpired brilliantly. Its finals footy, you need to only pay what is absolutely there. The eagles desreved there win, they set it up by earning there home ground advantage during the season. Dont forget that last year that group finished in last!!!
what a great season for the eagles last to preliminaries possibly grand final. what you guys are forgetting is we beat geelong this season all be it at home
the last 5 minutes, god thought I was going to pee myself, just didn't want to move from my seat in that last 5 minutes. Both teams played a excellent game, but as they say a win is a win and luckily for us, Caarn the Eagles.
I won't be upset if we get beaten next Saturday by the pussycats, we have achieved so much in the last 12 months, wooden spooners to the top 4, what more could you ask of the boys. Bet their is a few sore bodies on both sides this morning. Good win boys.
I know one sore head this morning, old fart got up cursing the Eagles blaming them for his sore head hahahahah Think our roof has settled after last nights game. Glad the weather held off for the match for both sides.
Had a few friends in Dongara cursing GWN they lost signal for awhile during the first quarter but thankfully got it back to watch the mighty Eagles play and win.
Being a late game and that I had been doing chores all arvo while enjoying a couple of coldies... The stress of the game was such I lost count of how much I had to drink LOL. Needless to say I was pretty seedy this morning... All's well that ends well :)
We were at the game thanks to the owner of the company I work for gave me two great seat tickets , what a nail biter it was , still having trouble breathing :)
I can't believe how different the umpiring was compared to the rest of the finals game. What a joke. The players were probably expecting it to be umpired like the others. It was piss poor both ways.
the age old saying... don't blame the umpires. it would be near impossible for an umpire to have a perfect game.
just remember they are the poeple who could never play the game, except for those few who have done both, we can't expect them to be any good at umpiring the game either.
but on a side note, i'm hopeing for an upset win on saturday.
