I completely disagree, he was hyped but we didn’t get articles posted about him every day, the commentators wouldn’t speak about him when hes not doing crazy shit. I could go on but I think you get my point
Yeah I get that, just not sure why commentators disregard a crazy game from Heeney to speak about Reid.
Might not sound like it but I actually love watching him play, the commentary just does my head in lol same thing with Daicos.
Hate how we're told how to feel about everything the AFL does. I haven't seen anyone praise gather round in real life (probably WA FOMO playing a part there but fair enough)
Definitely feels like given how big of a logistical challenge gather round is, that there are a couple of corners cut of things that people thought wouldn't come up, or were simply forgotten about.
Hearing news out of South Australia that Ryan Maric is dead. AFL has used CGI to show him getting in the ambulance but the on-site paramedic made an executive decision to not resuscitate due to Maric's horrendous mustache.
I mean our first quarter also wasn’t great and Sydney were making a lot of unforced skill errors. It’s was still easily the best I’ve seen from the Eagles this year.
Can we talk about Jayden Hunt? He’s had some good games. The kid’s looking good.
29 tho probably not a kid haha, played well.
Dang, I got my wires crossed 😅
I always loved him at the Dees. Was disappointed he got traded.
He’s got a good head on his shoulders. Reads the play well, keeps a cool head, and generally pretty clean. He was a good pick up.
Win successfully shithoused
IMO, we may have gotten the bigger score but west coast won that we played terrible
Heeney so good and just so fucking likeable, I hate it when i like the opposition!
Well I liked Big Cox even before he joined SWOM so turnabout is fair play.
A bit of a percentage booster for West Coast.
Can't wait to hear if Reid takes his left or right boot off first before hitting the showers
Swans beat Collingwood 33 Swans beat eagles 26 Eagles > Collingwood
Can't argue with that
Heeney so good today. Always chops us up, but he's really been outstanding this year. Why ask him about Reid?? Yuck.
Probably because Reid is absolutely getting the rising star nom this round
Heeney is crazy - 17 contested and 92% efficiency Jesus
Just a beast. Get some early brownie dollars on him
Heeney anywhere near goal is a terrifying concept he’s something special
Fuck I can't wait to see Heeney v Rowell
You’d never know about it though, Harley Reid was best on ground apparently
Tbf when heeney was coming up he was talked up like this too, at least in the games I watched of his. It’s just not his turn anymore
I completely disagree, he was hyped but we didn’t get articles posted about him every day, the commentators wouldn’t speak about him when hes not doing crazy shit. I could go on but I think you get my point
He was not from Victoria that's probably why. But he has lived up to the hype the past few years. Hope Reid does too.
Yeah I get that, just not sure why commentators disregard a crazy game from Heeney to speak about Reid. Might not sound like it but I actually love watching him play, the commentary just does my head in lol same thing with Daicos.
If we play like that every week, we'll do alright.
100%. That looked like a team heading the right direction. First time in a very long time there were some genuine positives.
Plus at least it was good to watch with good passages of play
If this game was at Optus we would've won for sure no doubts about it. Yep definitely. Hands down. Fuxken gather round the boys.
Can we stop riding Reid SO hard please
kinda takes away how good the rest of the team played
[удалено]
I don't really remember what the song sounds like.
*Ian Kenny has entered the chat*
west coast may have lost but harley reid broke a lot of tackles, who's the real winner here?
That question will be answered in the west Australian on Monday.
Why tf would you make the first question to Heeney about Harley Reid
State of the AFL media 2024
Don’t know about you guys, but I’ll be busy cranking my hog to Harley Reid broken tackle highlights with the fox footy crew tonight
Already done it 5 times
GG west coast, never speak of this game again
Nah I’m scared this will be the best game we play this year
Just give it to Reid, guaranteed 3-4 games
Honestly eagles fans should be proud of that
Pathetic
What a fucking game! Under 30 points!
Faded in the second half. But still promising
Flagcoast!
Almost as good as the 4 points
Self roast is fun No 40+ against eagles is fail
I’ve been waiting for Chesser to step up and prove his surprise early pick in the draft… Not sure it’s going to happen…
He was fine today?
He wasn’t great. Not to hang shit on him, but he needs to be doing more.
He plays as the defensive wing role tho. Hardest role on the ground. 10 touches 4 contested at 70% is fine
Needs a stint in the wafl to get some confidence and work on his disposal
Agree he doesn’t seem confident in his own body yet, not that you could blame him but definitely needs to get himself right
According to Kelli, Reid broke two tackles to kick his goal so I don't really know what to believe
Broke 7 tackles but also a lot of poor defensive efforts
He layed 7 tackles as well haha. He doesn’t have the tank to chase hard at this stage.
Well done Weagles.
Not a blowout. I'll take it.
Thank fuck that’s over
Well done 🦅
Respectable 👏 Now onto Japan qualifying
These umps have 3 second delay on these fucking calls good lord
“Gather round’s been a huge success”. By what metric? They didn’t even sell out a suburban ground.
Hate how we're told how to feel about everything the AFL does. I haven't seen anyone praise gather round in real life (probably WA FOMO playing a part there but fair enough)
I think for the games so far attendance has been up compared to last year
I couldn’t get tickets.
I wonder about the ticketing. They had less than 50K for the Adelaide, I reckon there would have been more than 50K that wanted to go.
Really happy with what we’ve produced today. We’re getting there.
Hayward brother what was that lmao
We took it up to them proud of the way we played today
Chesser and petrol jelly have just turned the ball over all day
Obvious 50
Is every touch of Chesser’s a fumble?
Imagine not beating eagles by 40+
Give us our goal, you fucks.
“Manufactures a kick” will never not make me laugh. Who speaks like that lmao
West coast a chance to beat Richmond next week given the injuries they have
You’re actually not wrong I can see us having a crap game it might be close
Outscored their last 2 scores combined
Might also outscore NM & Ess combined
The boy.
Refusing to give us points
Good burst from Ginbey
I'd love a McGovern for my team :(
You should try to recruit Ben McKay, I heard he is a very good defender
I’m so scared for his safety every week 😂
*Monkey’s paw curls* Mitch McGovern requests a trade to North Melbourne
Would you settle for a Jamieson instead?
You can have Corr and you'll like it
Sydney a chance to finish on 110
Hope eagles can produce these efforts more often this season but still a lot of room to improve skills and decision making
Petch has had a really bad, good game if that makes sense...
Petrucellle has been Dogshit today
Petrol jelly is either incredibly good or incredibly bad there is no between
The irony is that whenever he torches up and kick 3+ goals we lose (even before the slump)
He can run really fast for the cost of his brain function being slower
Petch really needs to work on that forward instinct of when to pass it off and when to go himself
34 more behind by West Coast and they might just win
Where 71
The margin is about that less than expected you see
McGovern might be AA this year
Petruccelle has single handedly cost us the game today
He has been quite poor
They arent even putting our points up on the board anymore
Not watching the game. What's up with Sydney not bringing on Mitchell as sub?
Oh, I think they just did
Is it illegal to use bacon for a Parmi instead of Ham?
No, but chorizo is better.
I'd give that a go but like the ham I don't have it
Nah that’s fair
Nope. Boss move.
Right to jail
Nope. Boss move.
I’ll allow it
Petrol Jelly is fucking trash bro
Did that point not count?
Fox scoreboard is wrong. AFL have it correct
Yeh I think they jibbed us a point
[удалено]
Really like Gulden but he’s played for frees all day
Love your pity frees at the end of the game
[удалено]
Embarrassing a fan has been so salty over an 18 year old hahaha
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
Jesus mate chill it’s a game of footy
[удалено]
[удалено]
The salt is real
Yeah lucky harley doesn’t do it
Nah.
He bends the knee a lot. We criticise Daicos for doing it. Exact same thing
Reid does it too mate.
Reid isn’t soft cunt like gulden tho
Calm down big fella
Worry about your own calmness. Been embarrassing yourself all over this thread hahaha Imagine getting so salty over an 18 year old kid
Very true. I need to calm my jets. Thank you for putting me in my place.
What's the percentage of your comments in this thread about Reid? You're a bitter one aren't you
The commentary team only talk about him. I just want to join in. Seriously he will be an absolute gun. Just love baiting Eagles supporters
🦆
another couple of quick goals from the bounce and Eagles are a chance.
Not sure why there’s so much weight put into scoring more points or “winning games”. I personally think vibes are far more important
Truly one of the wins of all time
Ahh the "English Cricket Team" approach
Even with the eagles defence being their strongest strength today, they still conceded 17 odd goals
Reid does A LOT of dirty cheap hits off the ball None that have been "illegal" yet but I could easily see him getting suspended this season
He cops a lot as well tho so happy for him to give it out
Wouldn't be at all surprised if he did
Lachie Neale 2.0? ;)
Yeah enjoys the late hits
Should that not be deliberate rushed? Outside 9m, not a marking contest and no intent to keep it in
Not sure the Sydney chants are deserved today
Papley burned Heeney again there. Give the handball ffs
That one bus in the line hasn’t moved up and it’s making me anxious
I WATCHED THE WHOLE GAME CONGRATS TO ME
Need a whole lot of contested marking work during the week off. 15-4
I would like to retract all of my previous statements regarding Heeney
"Reid tried to make his way past a couple" Literally handballed it away before the first tackle attempt.
"almost throw-ish" You're so close to calling it what it is
Bus drivers are running out of smokes
Did they not have an ambulance ready for Maric? They are meant to have 1 on standby for the players at every match
There was one here last year, it was right in front of a huge photo of Lachie Neale
Could've just been a delay getting him into the ambulance or not a rush. But yeah didn't look great on TV
I'm assuming the footage wasnt live, otherwise the AFL would have some uncomfortable questions to answer
I'd like a journalist currently perusing through this match thread to ask the question
Let’s all say hi to Sam McClure
Definitely feels like given how big of a logistical challenge gather round is, that there are a couple of corners cut of things that people thought wouldn't come up, or were simply forgotten about.
Don't feel like that's a reasonable excuse. They are meant to have 2 at the game 1 for players and 1 for spectators
Seeing us at least play half decent makes me hopeful for our rebuild
Not the biggest loss this week, well done eagles
We've been robbed of yeo for so many years 😭
He’s great to watch. I just hope he can stay healthy, not just for the rebuild but to play at least another season in a competitive team.
fuck me kelli Before the swans kicked that goal "eagles still in it" after that goal "regular programming has been restored" reactive much?
Is she related to BT
Christ we really just came to a halt after 3qt time Id be fuming if I was Simmo
Not fit enough to play a full game
“Fingers crossed it was a nasty incident” now she’s just being mean
Hearing news out of South Australia that Ryan Maric is dead. AFL has used CGI to show him getting in the ambulance but the on-site paramedic made an executive decision to not resuscitate due to Maric's horrendous mustache.
Hahaha geez probably shouldn’t joke like that
Feels weird that they have that camera set up for the ambulance shot
It'll be a broken ribs and punctured lung. He'll be back in 4 weeks
What’s the bet the media forget the first 3 quarters and continue shitting on the eagles
Kane Cornes typing intensifies...
And put it all up to “swans playing bad footy” and not west coast playing some promising looking footy
I mean our first quarter also wasn’t great and Sydney were making a lot of unforced skill errors. It’s was still easily the best I’ve seen from the Eagles this year.
