Calling All Collingwood knockers, how about an opinion on the EAGLES?

Question

Funny how the Eagles played a nail biter final last year against the Pies, with extra time required. They lost Cousins and Judd this year and now sit hiding on the bottom, WHY. Collingwood lost Buckley, Clement Licuria (all retired) end of '07and last week played for "4th spot" but failed by 18pts against North, without Davis, Fraser, Rocca, Holland, Prestigiacomo, Lonie, d**k, Cox, Cook, Rusling, Reid and Toovey "all injured" How do the EAGLES get off so easy,considering how pathetic they are as a footy club.?

Answer 1

I don't know why they are getting off scott free.  To me they are a useless waste of oxygen.  As far as I am concerned the only real threat to Geelong are the Maggies.  I believe they are a force to be reckoned with.  By the way I am not a Collingwood supporter either.

Answer 2

You want my opinion of the Eagles?

OK they are having a poor year but if the word pathetic should be directed at anyone it should be Collingwood.

The Pies were flogged by eight goal by Essendon today. A game everyone reckoned they'd win. Whereas the Eagles had a good win against the Saints - a game everyone reckoned they'd loose.

I don't know who to direct my 'pathetic' comments towards - you or the Pies!

Answer 3

Thank you for bringing that up mate :)

If it was Collingwood on the bottom of the ladder, we'd be shown no sympathy, and not to bag WCE here, but everyone comes up with excuses for them (tanking, loss of Judd and Cousins, injuries, etc).

Answer 4

Here is the past 10 years for you:

10 consecutive finals.

2 premiership games.

1 premiership.

no wooden spoon.

and you call that pathetic! in know they are playing terrible, the game just 2 weeks ago against Richmond was the worst I think i have ever seen, we think back to the past years and how could will possible "dis" them, they have done so much for us.

here are some of our players under 21 years of age:

ben mckintly

jamie mcnamara

scott selwood

josh kennedy - thanks to carlton :)

ryan davis

chris masten

tony notte

brad ebert

william sullivan

mitch brown

tim houlihan

shannon hurn

eric mackenzie

patrick mcginnity

will schofield

matthew spangher

james thompson

beau wilkes

the list goes on...

(all 19,20 or 21 years old)

plus natinui or rich =]

They are not experienced playes we need time to rebuild and get back on our feet before we start playing great footy again. you don't have time to do that when your always in the finals. we aren't invisible we can have a **** season like other teams do.

btw enjoy your loss to essendon, did ya? 8 goals was it!

Answer 5

OK I see you have made your point.

Now can I ask a question? When did Collingwood last win a premiership? Also can you recall when the Eagles last won one?

I also can remember the Collingwood coach stumbling about on the MCG, after a losing G/F blubbering his eyes out!

Have you ever seen anything as pathetic as that?

Answer 6

First things first, it is the off field problems that have taken the biggest toll on the Eagles, Judd Cousins are 2 huge gaps to fill, but Kerr is on his way out and Hansen is not happy, true they have escaped the wrath of most of the Melb media but they are the West Coast Eagles and do we really care enough to worry about them, I reckon the WA media is reving them up!!!  Secondly where is the connection between Collingwood and West Coast, the majority of AFL supporters would love to see them swap spots on the ladder lol

Answer 7

Well the eagles had alot of tension on them and Judd<3 and Cousins <3 well they used to be the players that got the ball to the main goal kickers so did Daniel Chick! But now we only have Kerr left who can do that and help get the ball to the main goal kickers...But cause of frustraition he isnt really helping much...Worsfold is under alot of pressure..So is everyone on the team cause alot of players are getting injured( Jones, Hunter ) and Kerr got suspended for 4 games...so it all comes down to the young guns who arent used to the crowd and stuff so they get really frustrated aswel...but in  a few years time you'll see THE WILL ROCK THE STADIUM!

Answer 8

You go Dubya ... stir that pot boy!!  I'll have a dip at that!

It's not really a case of getting off easy ... it's a number of factors:

. The couple of Weagles fans who were so loud last year, simply haven't been showing their faces this year - so no discussion (they may be here but adopted different personas of course)

. The only WCE fan who does show up regularly is one of the most sensible users on here

. The Weagles have been so bad, even their most avid fan must be finding it hard to find something to brag about!

Answer 9

Eagles have won three premeirships since the Pies last won one when you have you can call us a bunch of pathetic losers but we didn't lose back to back GFs or collect the wooden spoon.

Maybe we will this year but we will see.

Answer 10

How ironic you posted this question when you did & referring to another team as pathetic.

I have been watching the WCE in todays game & they are doing OK at half time. I hope they continue with it but..........

I also watched Collingwood play agains the Dons today & they were absolutely pathetic. No doubt about it.

Will Mick start blubbering again - or will he doe his usual thing & whinge, whinge, whinge....

Answer 11

All clubs go through a ruff time sooner or later West Coast is no exception Melbourne is a other one as the young players get a lot of match practise and get better, they become good and a other club goes down, it has been like that as long I can remember as my father, brother, husband and sons all played the game I know a bit about it.

you might see a difference when Vossie go's there next year I hope so anyway

Answer 12

You know, I have been mucking around in this site for a couple of months now and what I have noticed is that the two clubs that cop the most c**p are West Coast & Collingwood.

West Coast because of the actions of a few of our players that have tarnished the reputation of a great club.

Collingwood because of the actions of a few of their supporters who seem to think that they have a monopoly on history & tradition and love to show off whenever they win a game or two.

Getting off easy? I hardly think so. Every week this season us faithful eagle fans sit here and get ridiculed, called drug cheats & Tankers and told that we are getting what we deserve. Well guess what - bring it on people! We are just as passionate (and traditional!!) as the rest of you and we will not go away. (Only Judd and Cousins hey... Exactly how would you replace the two best midfielders - at that time - in the game overnight??)

As I have been told more than once by people here: TOUGHEN UP PRINCESS.....

and the team I do think gets off lightly is Freo!!

Answer 13

GO THE SAINTS!!!!

OH WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN!

OH WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN!

Answer 14

Tanking..

Answer 15

at least west coast won a grandfinal recently. unlike collingwood, going back to back LOSSES against the lions, lol.

heres a few good jokes:

Did you hear that the Post Office just recalled their latest stamps? They had pictures of Collingwood players on them ... and people couldn't figure out which side to spit on.

Q: What do you call a 30 year old woman in a collingwood guernsy?

A: Nanna

Answer 16

mate go jump off a cliff you moron...u don't know what ur on about. go join ur bogan, trash feral friends aka collingwood supporters and go get trashed and die in a ditch somewhere.

west coast r a powerhouse  club..full of pride and class, and u really don't know us. get off their flammin backs ok... cos we will be laughing at u guys when u r at the bottem of the ladder (u will be soon)hahahaha the way ur team plays its a disgrace.

Answer 17

The Eagles will rise like Phoenix from the Ashes (sorry to bring cricket into the equation!!) and knock off the Saints by 4 goals.

It will be a miracle.
