West Coast Eagles vs Melbourne Demons: AFL live scores, blog

Exactly. The haters can't see what's in front of them-just like 2018! It's a different season, hard to compare to last year, but Eagles are just turning over and getting the wins. they cranked it up in last quarter and took the game-that's what good teams can do! Watch out, they're coming..might drop some games, but theyre building and This season Nicnat will be back.

Some people just hate it when West Coast win and will make any excuses why we won . Melbourne were shocking in front of goal including a absolute shocker from petracca 10 meters out. The Eagles won so suck it up and accept it

Umpires cost dee's the game? Really? Stupid comment. Inaccurate kicking in front of goal cost them the game. If you watched the game with both eyes you would have noticed Frees were missed on both sides

West Coast definitely lifted in the last quarter. Melbourne squandered too many shots on goal. Two non decisions by the umps also helped swing the game. Umpires need to consider their positioning given that the tv cameras and commentators are seeing what they are not seeing.

I like it, the "Were Flying High" always brings back memories of the Cousins era.

Result ok, but worrying lack of impact from the bottom 8 players. Real simple skill errors that were definitely not as apparent last season. I’m far from convinced...

Virgil does say so. That thing stinks on a whole different level. Worse than the Port Power ditty.

On a HIGH note....... Great Mark Liam Ryan...........But some TERRIBLE umpiring decisions cost The Dees the win they deserved. Although the count was 21-21 ( which is unusual for a Eagles ???? home ground as they normally get 10-12 more free kicks than the opposition) it was the crucial ones that count......... Lewis Jetta gets a holding the Ball decision which cost the Dees a goal ( will cost Eagles ???? two weeks when he faces the tribunal this week for a dangerous tackle ) and a throw from another Eagles player that was missed resulted in another goal...... Even the Commentators could hold there tongue ???? about the perceived HOME GROUND ADVANTAGE..........No wonder the Demon players dropped there head the last ten minutes. Couldn’t blame them. Anyway a injury riddled Demons before the game ( not to mention the three consussions during the game ) proved the Eagles ???? are PRETENDERS this year

What the slump tackle? Or the lean tackle? I honestly don't see how he could have used less force. Unfortunate that Tim hit his head. Although he played out the game though didn't he? And apparently we're in an outcomes based contest or something, so he should be fine. But then again the beloved fox footy team did their best impression of a lynch mob, so who knows? And hey he's no Brownlow medallist, so I expect 6 at least.

For some reason people are being overly negative with west coast - they’re going along better than ave 6-3 having beaten 2 of 3 (Pie and gws) supposedly best teams at the moment and one of the losses was at Geelong... I think people are getting carried away with their poor form, not travelling well comments

Keep trying you got to get some different material. Final free kick count was 21/21 so how that impeded Melbourne I'm unsure but if they kicked straight then they might have won, but alas wce did instead and we still keep winning:) 6/3 pretty good for a hungover average side.

That would be a tough call to make depending on who won.

Another unimpressive performance by the premier against an undermanned and umpire hindered opponent. They are still in contention but more and more questions raised each week. One and done?

Would take him over whoever wins the brownlow this yr.

If Virgil says so

I shall be bold and say the Eagles will not make an early finals exit. Their wins especially at home against an undermanned and out of form team running 15th does not auger well. The Crows are finding some form and will test them at AO. I still think the race to the GF is open and with injuries and who and where you play when you have them, as the year progresses, may shape the finals in a season where nearly any team is capable of knocking off the top four on its day.

Probably the best l have seen him play all year. A real game changer and an elite player. Had some real intent tonight. I was mentioning to a mate tonight before the game that l thought he had been a bit down this year and hasn't been as impactful. That changed tonught. I don't think he has been bad at all. Been following since him since his Brisbane days.

Fair enough, on a different note how bloody good was Yeo game.

True there is more to just kicking goals but thought he was your least effective forward all night and was beaten in marking contests most of the game.
