[goraw]

[Dutchy]

Read the whole thread and you would have found this...

OK no doubt it sounds like this matter will be taken seriously at a high level so can we please keep further comments on the game itself at least until formal comment from clubs is released.

Any future comments regarding the off field incident will be deleted, so dont waste your time.

Thanks

so whats your point? if u read my post correctly u will find that none of the post was directed at the matter in hand? simply demonstrating what can occur on the odd occasion. if i have crossed the line i apologise, but i dont think i did.

This thread is for the game, if you want to talk CS's in general start a new thread

I forgot to mention Thompson. He was another stand out today and has played his best footy the last two weeks in defence. Only a rookie at the Crows so we should have him for the remainder of the season, but suspect he may be upgraded at season's end. Very talented and has all the attributes.

Well said, I thought he played a great game.

For a guy of his size, he's got pretty remarkable pace and athleticism. He's just got that acceleration many would die for, and he's also really agile and likes to take them on (as we saw on his goal). Got a big future.

yea id like him to be in my backline right now. how old is he? looks like a ready made player

fair enough but the way the thread was talked about, i thought id bring a fresh direction into it, and how things can be taken the wrong way . plus i think this site is much more strict than it used to be, and it sucks balls .

7.18...that has to be the worse kicking performance we have done in a while...game was scrappy on the radio and sounded boring...eags converted their chances when they got them but we got plenty of the footy...too many skill errors...

crappy boring season continues

[Jimmy]

Anyway, I want to see more Sturt fans on here giving a tirade on how piss weak our team is at the moment...

let me sleep first...so frustrating to stay up and listen to this crap...bring back sturt circa 97-2002....that was real passion!!!

Was an interesting game, the Eagles certainly played the better football, particularly over 4 quarters...

The highlight for me though was when I was leaving the ground after the game, I had someone very recognisable come up to me and ask me a question...

"Excuse me sir, do you have a motor vehicle" was asked of me...

It was legend Eagles supporter Ernie who of course has been a part of the Woodville Oval furniture for a very long time...

He asked me whether I could take him to the Woodville Train station as he missed his bus and only had 15 minutes before the train arrived, ensuring he'd get home to Glenelg before dark.

I felt obliged to give the man a lift and was so glad I did. We introduced ourselves to each other and he was chuffed when I told him I knew who he was. We talked about the Eagles win and he asked me who I followed.

When I told him Central, he was quick to tell me about the 2006 GF but humbly said 2004 was good for my team. He is a very switched man at 78 years old and was very very grateful and apreciative of me giving him a lift.

Might sound a little bit silly I know, but that was the highlight of my day, meeting the great man and I was just pleased I could assist in making sure he got to the station safely, but I felt like it was my good deed for the day.

Back to the game, I was very impressed with ZPatrick Guffrieda today, is very hard at it and played well for the victors.

Good on you Phil
Thought you might have mentioned your chat with the CEO pre game.

He has blossomed in the backlines.And I said from Day 1 play him there and not up forward .
Damn nice having a running CHB who can kick a goal

OMG !!!........if this incident involved Central supporters you guys would keep this going until next month, but because this shows that all clubs have their ferrel supporters ( yes even the high and mighty Sturt and Eagles ) you delete the truth....WHAT A JOKE

[MST]

This was the most infuriating game I've been to this season. Sturt were diabolical and I was utterly embarrassed by what was yet another example of completely inept and pathetic football. I do not enjoy sitting there watching my team cough up 2 points to a team that in my opinion were at best pretty average, but on the whole generally rubbish for most of the match. I can only presume that what I saw from Torrens today was the type of football that saw them lose the grannie by 20 goals a few years back. In my opinion and its just mine, but I thought Torrens lacked urgency and lacked any real desire to win, what they did have was a game plan they could execute when unencumbered and they did show steel to ignore Sturt's complete control of the game at times and just suck it up and hit back with a couple of goals when the time came. Now if that sounds really harsh on Torrens, then just think about where that leaves Sturt as the hopeless, p*** poor side that went down by 26 points?

Sturt were diabolical. They once again showed me that the crappy, stupid decision making and poor skills that has plagued most of their games this year has not left them like we (as supporters) had hoped after a few positive performances. Sturt once again threw away possession at times when they weren't really under that much pressure. They were shocking with regards to shooting for goal, 7.18 pretty much says it, but geez the misses were just unbelievable. No one minds missing shots under pressure or on tight angles, but Sturt were slotting through points from positions where it was harder to do so than get a goal. Snaps from 1 metre out, yes 1 metre out, that didn't even trouble the scoreboard but went out on the full. I could have handled losing this game if Torrens had played fast furious football, but they were boring and mediocre, yet were never in real danger of losing. So again, being harsh on them, but really more annoyed that I can't have any faith in them beating Centrals in the finals.

For Sturt, game over, sick of saying that one week and then thinking we're alive the next, but that game proved we've gone nowhere fast and in my opinion, I think Norman should be sacked come seasons end.

... that might seem like a VERY severe backlash against the coach who took us to the Grand Final last season, but I'm starting to think the players must have done that and not him, as where is that motivational prowess now?

No game plan. No forward movement. No idea.

Based on what I saw today, I can't even be bothered going to see them the next couple of weeks. This season is far worse than the majority of the spooner years back in the 1990's.

CSBOWES besides your teams woeful goal kicking attempts today.Part of the eagles determination could be put down to what was said on AA in the sports show this week by the player named on Sturts banner.
Something along the line of we thrashed South last week and this week in my 200 we play a mediocre team.
Perhaps that player on the banner should have watched what he says in the media .

Its nice to be back normal and beat sturt at Fortress Woodville

I'm sorry, but that statement is a complete and utter load of garbage, a fabrication. I will cop losing to your mob on the chin but I won't, on behalf of all Sturt supporters, cop rubbish like that being fabricated by a keyboard warrior such as yourself. I heard the interview in it's entirety and I can categorically state that at no point in the interview did Ben Nelson come remotely close to suggesting what you have typed. The game itself was only briefly touched on in fact, and Ben suggested that the competition from third down to seventh was extremely tight and that the game v WWT was a 'four point game'.

So having said that, I suggest you retract, delete or apologise for the outlandish statement.

Enjoy the win as much as you like (if you come up against a side that can execute basic football skills you'll be found out) but leave the fanciful stories out of it.

Were you there? Tell us how it happened

I can only presume they'll also delete it after you've posted

By the way, where is that 16 page diatribe about the James Gowans left hook circa 2007
