Playing well. Eagles have 3 extra players on the ground.

Kicking ourselves out of this game. Should be 30 points up

Umpiring is per usual

We've been magnificent. Umpiring notwithstanding. Play that in the second half and we'll win

Umpiring slaughtering us. Holding, high, deliberate, touched, high, fifty, in the back. It's blatant, disgraceful, and scandalous. F*ck them so bad cheating pricks!

I'm f****** done with this s***. Every season, this should be an enjoyable game to watch but it's just makes me more and more pissed off. Absolutely disgusting.

it's why i hate watching the eagles in perth - just looked after so much. too frustrating, and when it's your own team playing it's torture.
keep at them saints - play it out!

Free kicks 13 to 2

Our defense has been very good, plus have creating a lot of drive. Gilbo and Robo both very good.

Include these links in your email:

We’ve established that West Coast gets an average of around 4 net free kicks when they play at home. This means that the Eagles get 4 more free kicks in their favour than their opponents. But is this because the Eagles are given a lot more free kicks, or because they concede fewer frees to the opposition? It turns out that the answer is both. The Eagles get an average of over 20 free kicks in their favour in home games, the most in the league, while conceding fewer than 16 per game, the second lowest in the league

Good to see a few of the boys including Monty talking to the umpires at half time.
Perhaps they politely asked why there are two sets of rules.

Yes, the umpies are killing us, couldn't have asked for worse. But, we're still in front by 9 points, despite them having an 11 extra on their own dung heap.

Also, hostile away game in Perth, they were always going to pay Geary's OFB as deliberate.

Do it! We sure as hell know no media outlet will bring critique to bear on this bullcrap league
It's getting a mention on the coverage as an interesting aside but no outrage. At least it's being mentioned I suppose, slightly better than usual.

Lonie has been pretty good apart from missing that goal he should have iced.

I hope those low life maggot umpires get heat stroke or worse.

After the Mav "point" Hurn stuffed the kick up. Gaff was tackled and just threw it away, then Hurn is tackled and he just lies on top of the ball waiting for the umpire to call a ball up. 30 seconds of unbelievable incompetence.

Josh Bruce needs to lift - bring it to ground at least?

3 times he hasn't impacted a marking contest... and WC defender has take a pack mark. Cardinal sin for a key forward.

Carlisle does not defend at all

Brown excellent

His momentum would have taken him over the line.

Just a thought to anybody that may be on the same plane back from Perth as the umpires.

Instead of switching your mobile phone to flight mode, switch on the record mode and try to sit near the white maggots. I reckon we are seeing "whispers in the air Mk2".
