In the end, people only remember the 'potential walker free' that could've won us the match.
If you look through the goal by goal, you'll see a different story to us being a contender.
We kicked the first 4 goals of the match, to their 0.1
We kicked the last 3 goals of the match after they had got their game high lead of 21 points, 22 minutes into the last quarter and took the foot of the pedal.
In the middle of the game, they kicked 15 goals to our 6 and clearly had the game on their terms.
Yes, we nearly stole it late, but they were still a class above us.
Kruddler likes to misrepresent the stats, we actually won 3 of the 4 quarters......not to mention their run of goals was aided by some of the most shocking onse sided decisions we've seen in the game.
WCE played 8 top 8 teams in 2011, we played 11. We went to their home ground and should have won the final. The umpires destroyed us. You know two can play at this game....let's have a look at what MBB thought about the umpiring and whether we should have won.
I still can't get over some of those free kicks and how costly they were.
Perhaps Razor Ray supports the Eagles as he also paid a dodgy kick their way late against a rampaging Bulldogs a few weeks ago when the battle for the top 4 was still on.
Seems you thought we were robbed to bro.
And let's see how our mate Baggers felt after this game shall we?
Considering what we were up against - 6 day turnaround; interstate; rub of the green; missing key talls; Juddy obviously under an injury cloud... bloody brilliant effort.
The culture; the courage; the character of this club is beyond any question. 10/10.
The fact that we only lost by 3 pts is testament to the character of this group, this club and the strong steps of our coaching group.
And getting this close after losing Thornton and Jamison on one leg... and not having Kruezer, Waite and Gibbs! Please... that's like the Weagles having gone in without Kennedy, Cox and Kerr! And then losing Darling before half time.
Wow seems Baggers DID think we worthy in 2011.......amazing how he could change his opinion so quickly based on an injury riddled season.

We could have just laid down and let West Coast beat us. I was ready to accept defeat with 5 minutes to go but just how the players refused to die and came so close, with the chance to snatch it in the end.
thrunthru.....
i m really proud of the CFC tonight, yeah sure we can talk about individuals, the bounce of the ball, but i cannot for one second question the endeavour of the players
So, no matter what spin you put on it kruddler I think it's pretty obvious where we were at, and MBB, you thought we were robbed.
