TOPIC:

Great win and plenty of footy left in the season.
I doubt whether Simpson and his players are getting carried away with results thus far.
Early wins on the board are worth there weight in gold.

Darling for mine was clearly BOG,Yeo and McGovern were very good.
Great thing is the mids are getting it done without there best mid in Shuey.

They are playing a great brand of footy,quick tempo when required or slowing it down when they have to.
The losses will come as will the doubters who have been waiting weeks for the Eagles to slip up.

Hey sd, let’s not start this boolshite again. Take off you “I hate the Eagles” ears and eyes, listen to the game call and you’ll be very surprised to hear every team’s supporters are the same. Must really cruel you watching the Eagles having a bit of success??? Hang on, aren’t you one of the “I hate the AFL and don’t watch” it brigade?

As for the crowd, they have been like that for years, boo and moan about everything.

Of course, of course baz. Funny how no other team’s supporters do that.

Great crowd, a record not a Derby. Just shows that the public like GOOD football. Not rivalry

I think you hit the nail on the head there LS. It’s obvious people just want good footy.

Gee reckon some of you need to go to a big game in Melbourne then you’ll hear some booing.

Sharkie not only are the Eagles supporters the only ones that boo they’re the only crowd that leaves before the end of a game.

Bazza’s obviously not heard the SCG crowd when Buddy doesn’t get a free apparently he should get one every time he goes near the ball.
Swan dog the crowd up at Basso can get fired up with booing more times than not with the umpiring especially after half time when the amber fluid kicks in .

So your saying that the Derby was not a good game and good football played!!!!

What I say is The Richmond game was a better standard & crowds want Marks, goals & contact sport.
Eagles have set the bar.

I certaily see your point anchor, but the skills were different. The Derby was a bit scrappy from both sides, whereas Sunday’s game had some very skillful play from both sides. To watch the Tiges and Eagles flood the ball forward was great watching.
