A new record in handballs - 230 - created by West Coast.

That's probably why they only hanbal...er, kicked eight goals today.
If one person does it, it's insanity. If millions do it, it's religion.

The worrying stat for the Eagles from today is the number of possessions per goal. It's been a stat the Crows have been poor in too altho better today.

To set a record for handballs and only kick 8 goals is :shock:
In between signatures .....

70 or so more possessions and a 35-point loss (kicking 8-16)!
It smashes the adage of "if you get the ball more than them, you'll win".
I heard the match on ABC Perth and they couldn't believe how the Eagles wasted the ball when they got it.

The Eagles also broke the record for the most total possesions for a losing side

... and the number of media people to jump off their wagon.

All the talk over here is about what will they be like if Juddy goes for a spell in the stands. Woosha said "well it will be 22 v 22 next week, I can guarantee you that much!"

Perceptive man! :lol:
