2012 Qualifying Final - West v Central POST GAME DISCUSSIONS

[sjt]

Can Scott or someone give me the win/loss ratio of when both Gowans have played in the same team this year.

I'm not sure. I think they played alright today, I haven't seen any stats. I know combined they had won 16 straight minor finals and 9 premierships.

[Groucho]

NOT!

You win a final by 5 goals, win the fights and have everything go your way and you boo the LOSERS off the ground.

And that was after you clapped the umpires off the ground, something that I have never seen before.

Great effort Westies today, Collins masterminded this perfect result.
After making 10 changes coming into a final i thought WTF is this bloke doing, but Collins must be given alot of credit for how he prepared his team for this final, now for the 2nd semi v Norwood.
End of the Centrals era?
I hope so, go Westies, i think West can play alot better than they did today, how many times did West hang onto the ball too long & turn the bloody thing over? Maybe it was their 1st finals appearance for a while contributed to that, if they can clean up their disposal they'll go a long way in this finals series & they are capable of winning the flag but Collins wouldn't let his side get too far ahead of themselves & he'll be keeping a lid on things & take 1 week at a time.

Great post No Mercy, just about the first bit of credit Collins has received by a non bloods supporter all year.

that's coz his missus is a West supporter!

Groucho is a bit grouchy

Well done Bluds gutsy effort when Menzel went down early in the last and done his knee that was it thanks to the Westie player who pushed him in the back whilst taking the mark tell me why that was that not a 25 metre penalty also i might add an inept and incompetent standard of umpiring for both sides today my question still is why was Josh Wilson not utilised as a back up ruckman for Hannath Hardy must play as a permanent fullforward after all he is the Ken Farmer medalist ????? or is Lairdy waiting for Pumpa to get some match fitness anyway hopefully with the inclusion of Pumpa,Boydy and maybe Westhoff we might improve it will need an almighty effort to beat the Cocks next Sunday and i also might add Norwoodman 78 Good Luck to you guys you are gonna need it against the Bluds 3 weeks without playing a game might go against you.

ever heard of punctuation?

[CENTURION]

Zip it Groucho. You're sounding like a sore loser. Who cares what other teams supporters do.

[CENTURION]

Well, We played shit. Now We will win the next 3 games. Lots of depth to draw on.

WTF! I expect that from opposition supporters, not one of our own. Why don't you go and join the distant line. (i.e the far queue)

[dedja]

good to see you're taking it well ...

[Dutchy]

To me it seems Chris Gowans is still going OK but James has slipped right off the pace and with only 9 disposals today will they make the hard call? Esp playing North who will have plenty of pace.

We were actually clapping Andy Collins off not the umpires. The umpires just happened to go off right behind him.

While I don't condone the booing, it wouldn't of occured if you guys didn't go the biff in the last 5 minutes.

[UK Fan]

Midfield got smashed today all day. We need pumpa back and firing next when available.

biggest challenge in a decade to beat north next week.
