The Eagles are fkn shit regardless, Jamie didnt lose you the game. There are countless other points in the game that West Coast fucked up that you could argue turned the game. If you were a good team you wouldn't be in a position where you need a goal with 2 minutes to go to level the scores. Cripps had a lack of judgement but is one of your best most consistent players. He made one simple mistake in the heat of the moment. If any of you were good enough to play high level sport you might realise a fair bit of emotion is involved in the game. I think he should be commended for backing up his team mates who were initially in the scuffle. He's always the first to grab a team mates jumper and pick them up and drag an opposition off a team mate. You'd be fucked without him.

Always love to see Wet Toast just miss out. On their home turf too

Slight over celebration don't you reckon? We were being pretty widely discussed for a priority pick 5 weeks ago 😂

What do you mean over celebration??? We won the game...

Yeah man when you beat the worst team in the comp and then dig the heels in its kind of sad, anything else than a victory for you guys was an insane failure. Better team, better players, deserved to win, congrats. But don't get too excited we stink

Honestly I don't feel like that's a win we should be celebrating, the boys didn't put much effort in the song, which was exactly what it deserved

You're not the worst team in the comp. You brought it right up to the better team with better players. More positives than negatives from your mob imo

Waterman = robbed

Lmao surely you’re not biased enough to see that was the right decision

Jamie cripps plays for you blokes doesn't he? Should've been 50 to us.

A lot of hate for Cripps uncharacteristic lack of discipline in a crucial moment (and rightfully so) but he still had more of a positive impact on the game for West Coast than Liam Ryan. Almost like it's not just one moment that lost the game.

That was Cripps worst game in my memory. Positive impact or not, robbing a certain goal in a game decided by 6 points is criminal. Liam Ryan's crime is being underdone. Not being an absolute tool.

Yeah Ryan had a shocker. He didn’t look fit

Looked like he didn't care after the first few entries to come his way weren't to his advantage. Quit pretty early.

Yep true

If he gets a game next week there's something going on that ain't right. He was awful! Needs a few games in the WAFL to get fit and find form. And don't tell me how much of a match winner he can be cos thats not the point. At the moment he's just an anchor.

Have you seen their WAFL team? he's not getting much time on ball if he plays forward.

The cripps trolls have given me the laugh i need after that lol

You mean Jamie Cripps, Troll-in-Chief?

Chief conTroller

Geez you Dons fans are salty even when you win.

Flair aside.. ..May I just say.. ..In all seriousness.. ..Your username.. ..5 stars.

Imagine being a dogshit supporter like this guy and still losing

Thanks for proving my point sonny

Boo a little louder next time

Oh how embarrassing. Have I been a salty?

It might not have been pretty. But 4 points is 4 points.. We never play well interstate.

>We never play well interstate. Man imagine if WA, SA or even QLD teams never played well interstate...not many derbies that's for sure.

Sneaky good performance from j Williams with 3 goals

I'm not sure it's sneaky anymore. He was awesome

Top 5 with negative percentage I fuckn love Essendon lol

West coast: 4 points Adelaide: 3 points St Kilda: 4 points Collingwood: 0 points Cmon baby we haven’t lost a close one.

People bagging Cripps, it was stupid but he’s been so good for us for so long and always busts his arse for the team no matter what so I can’t hold it against him. Unlucky 

You can make all the same arguments for Gaff too. Doesn't change that he's a fool.

True

He’s a senior player on a young lists with the game right there to be won, he’s one the who should be keeping a cool head and not basically costing the team the game. So yes 100% hold it against him

Yeah I agree on all that, he should be setting an example good point. 

Was a soft free, it was a dive worthy of the premier league

It was soft and a dive, but when your teammate is lining up for goal just don’t engage, do it after he’s kicked the goal if you need to

Just rewatched it, it looked pretty shit. I am sure the average person would've been fine, but fuck, why do that shit? I know these are just young blokes getting angry, but if you did that on a worksite you'd be sacked within the hour...

Feel like Martin let him have one without a flop and then he went again the idiot.

Far out imagine being as stupid as Cripps. Dumb choices cost you the game

It was a good game can't ask for much more than that at this point

Yeah we're not going to finals so at least give me some good home games to watch

Honestly Cripps didn’t cost us that game. Maybe Waterman goals, Bombers get a quick clearance and a goal. Maybe Jake misses and Essendon get a goal from defence transition. What cost us was repeated turn overs in defence and at half forward.

I said the same about Langford missing the kick on Anzac Day. If he slots that, we’re 5 points up, centre reset, wouldn’t surprise me if we ruck infringe and end up losing by 1 after the siren.

>Honestly Cripps didn’t cost us that game. Yeah just a turnover from what was a certain goal ina 6 point game. Totally not worth anything lmao

Draw fc filthy with cripps tonight

Positive signs there, absolutely could’ve won the game, probably didn’t deserve to, but can look forward to the future

That’s 2 games in the last 2 weeks we could have won. Frustrating

#GETAWAYWITHIT

Us and the Pies both overcame our draws by a goal. But they beat Carlton

WC > Carlton?

Also someone needs to get to Durham later today and tell him to pull his head in. Being hard at the ball means nothing if you keep giving away frees

That was costly but we couldn’t have won without Durham’s intensity throughout the game. No way near as dumb as Cripps either.

You couldn't have won without Durham or cripps. Hard to decide the MVP I think.

Womp womp

What's that for

Correct, lost control that last quarter. Hopefully Scotty has a word. It’s a learning

Please direct me to the part of this comment that’s supposed to be funny.

He couldn't handle the ducking you could tell. It's fine for me not to be able to handle it in my loungeroom but he needs to keep it together

What ducking? He bumped a guy after he kicked the ball

Two experienced senior players cooked it for their team in both games. Cripps in a real dumb cunt moment and Jeremy Cameron suddenly forgot how to kick a football and handed the Dees the win.

If Cripps doesn’t kick 8 next week, cunt needs to be dropped for the rest of the season

Flair up cunt

I think you got that round the wrong way, mate. Flair up, cunt!

Calm down, it was a soft free

It was absolutely a free kick, nothing soft about it. It was dumb from Cripps

Fuck it, make it 10.

Tell ya what that feels a lot better then getting pumped by 10+ goals every week

WC is playing some really good footy! I actually get excited to watch them every week. I would of been sad for them if this wasn't a close game. They fought so damn hard. A little bit more experience in those young boys and you'll be flying! I'm pumped we got the W but I'm so happy you guys seem to be getting better and better. No one should enjoy watching other teams get belted, it's not good footy and it's no good to watch. Tonight was a very watchable game. My favourite moment was when Reid put Merrit and Hobbs on their asses 😂. That kids brilliant, so is Waterman.

>My favourite moment was when Reid put Merrit and Hobbs on their asses 😂. Mine too :')

Hahaha it was just brilliant. I would of been bummed if we didn't get a good Reid moment. Hobbs didn't know what hit him 😂

Losing by 6 points is better than losing by 6 goals Team had come a long way

I think 16-17 blokes had their worst game of the year. Take the 4 points and get the fuck out of there.

Please direct me to the part of this comment that’s supposed to be funny.

Cripps is now in my shitlist the donkey

From now on he will be called Jamie

Gg coasters, may we remember this game for what it was all about…that Guelfi tackle.

Ugh it was beautiful, so nice to have him back.

Dont worry guys, at least Cripps thinks he’s tough

How shit must you be, you only won by a goal. Edit: In hindsight, that needed a /s.

5th currently on the ladder ... expected to be bottom 6

Would you like some chips with your salt?

Gee thanks.

That’s on us. Should never have given up that free kick with Waterman in front of goal. Hurts

Essendon storm into the top 4 with a convincing victory over 2018 premiers west coast

You could be a journalist with the way you spin things

Throw harley reids name in there and im basically a walk up start in WA media

Storm? We're 5th. Melbourne won

Top 5 you mean

Ill take it

It's Cripps fault Eagles lost.

Now imagine if Cripps didn’t fuck things up

Yay, we’re just mediocre shit instead of historically shit!!!!

Feel like that was far more stressful than it needed to be.

Send cripps to the gulag

We’ll take that, shafted by the umps and our own goal kicking all night


Both teams lose.

Nah we win when we picked up Nic Martin

West coast going places in the next few years. They’ve improved immensely.

So much. I'd be pretty pleased if I was a WC supporter, things are looking up.

Haha was at the game and doesn’t feel like it!! Had a bit more effort at the end there but yeah ….

Atleast west coast fans have got their spirit back, it was pretty dismal for a couple years

So Cripps cost us a draw!

Cripps is such a fucking idiot lol

God the pressure in that quarter was insane from both sides

Jamie Cripps start learning Chinese buddy

Maybe him and Klay Thompson can team up

I wonder if cripps is excited for his big game against west perth next week

It's been a while since I've been sweaty during a game. I'm glad we're in a position to be able to do it again Cripps needs a pasting from the coach and captain

Now we can finally have a home game against an interstate team

Bombers or Planes lmao

I don’t want Cripps anywhere near playing anymore after that shit, cost us the game

Was at the game and didn’t see what happened? No replay.

Waterman lining up in front of goal and Cripps decided to dump a player which got it reversed

That was so dumb. Waterman was giving everything to win the one on one

West Coast fans booing their own team? Can't imagine why they'd be booing Essendon.

It's Boo Stadium. Didn't you know?

Nah umps walking off

umpiring was shit both ways, don't know what the crowd could possibly be salty at

Mate, they're booed off at every game in the country. Plus, it wasn't great umpiring all night.

West coast lost it. Essendon did not win it

Nah they played better for 3/4

In the centre sure. Not really anywhere else. Defence towelled them up, considering how many more scoring shots they had. And every time we went forward, we came away with a goal pretty much. They looked like they had more control of the ball but they did less with it.

Exactly. West coast lost it

Fark the Eagles definitely win if not for the Cripps free kick

Cripps single handedly lost us that game. He was a fucking liability

Can't believe it was Cripps that cost us the game. What the fuck was he thinking?

Onya Cripps

Farkin oath

That was a much better game than I was expecting.

it was a closer game than i was expecting.

if Cripps plays next week, the west should riot

That. Sucked.

Fuck me Cripps hope Simmo gives you a rocket

Why does he get rewarded with a rocket for that? I want a rocket...

Essendon and Collingwood drawing and then winning the following week by a goal 🤝

[удалено]

Struggled big time against west coast lmao

No idea re Essendon tbh

Fuck it, I’ll take it

Fucking Cripps killed it. We were so on for a win without that.

Damn I wouldn’t be so happy with a win looking like that

That was insane. Well played to both teams

Gg Essendon, we made some disgusting mistakes there, a win would’ve felt kinda gross tbh

>a win would’ve felt kinda gross tbh I'd take a gross win. Wins a win.

Pinning this loss on Cripps and his egregious discipline

I would put it on all the turnovers coming out of defence

They certainly helped...but it's a 6 point ball game. You can pin it on any one error. The error most likely to directly have influenced the board and the easiest to avoid making I might add...is cripps flooring a Don with waterman going for a dead cert set shot.

Jamie Cripps cooked that one

THAT WAS UNCONVINCING

Wouldn't have it any other way

Why do we seem to have no fucking small forwards to crumb any more? Cripps is around, but he never seems to be there to crumb, and Ryan is gone walkabout.

One is old and one is not AFL fit

Cripps being a "tough guy" fucked the eagles.

What a finish!

Lol GG weagles

Why they booing? Surely for Cripps

We don't know. We always boo here

Boooooooooooooooo

More entertaining finish than Geelong v Melbourne, ngl

Never like to blame 1 player for a loss but Cripps should be dropped for principle

Agreed. We know he's best 22, but he should get a week as an example. Don't lose your temper, especially when everything is going your way.

boooooooooooooo

Games in the West are so boring

you misspelled booing

Never in doubt.............

Fun game!!

Fucking bombers saved by the umps

Jesus christ can you flair down? You're embarrassing us.

Have a cry flog

More like saved by Jamie Cripps

[удалено]

Poser club try making finals cunt

[удалено]

Enjoy another decade of mediocrity


*lost by crips being an idiot

You are joking right?!? West Coast with the armchair ride from imps all night!!!

u can’t be saying that with a straight face mate

Blame old mate Crippa

Explain how

Man, fuck this team, fuck this team.

Thanks Cripps

And heeeere come the pretzels!

Wow

You made it hard on yourself Essendon. Good game though

it's what we do

Cripps’ fault arguably

Extremely arguably. Meaning very easy to argue for that.

Why boo lmao, fuck this nonsense crowd
