NO-MERCY wrote:Good first half at EP today with EP 9 goals to 7 up on Seaton & also having the better end of the stick from the umpires with alot of (ticky touch) free's going there way, Stokes was onfire early with 5 first half goals for Seaton but that wouldn't stop the Parks from sustaining the pressure & stepping up the intensity in the 2nd half inparticular the 3rd qtr where EP kicked 12 goals to Seaton 1.
I cannot believe Seaton can drop off the way they did, they were smashed at the stoppages in the 3rd but it was their decision making when in posession that cost them, time & time again they turned the ball over with poor kicking & handballing to flat footed team-mates.
Overall Seaton have put themselves in a position of survival now with Flinders Pk beating Payenham, they have alot of work to do to not get relegated.
I must say the umpiring didn't cost Seaton the game today as Eastern Park were very good when they needed to be & Seaton should of learnt something from that but it was a very ordinary display by the maggots who at times seemed intimidated by the supporters.
P.S I can't say the umpiring didn't cost the Bs their game as it did, 3 blatant free's infront of goal go un-noticed inside Seatons 50 & yes it was their ( Eastern Pks ) umpire!

S%@t Just wrote a comprehensive write up of the game and lost internet connection here I go again..
No Mercy, not sure you were at the game, however here is my take on the game.....
First quarter saw Seaton dominate early with harder attack and greater intensity. Stokes with 4 first quarter goals a serious problem. Game evened out and EP went just ahead.
Second quarter was fairly even but EP kicked to a 2-3 goal lead. Seaton players battling very hard.
Third quarter from EP was the best quarter of footy I have seen. Harder, faster, better with Seaton players still trying hard. 12-13 goal quarter.
Fourth quarter the game was iced and had very little intensity. EP kicked 7 points in a row, Seaton kicked a few on the trot to make the scoreline looke more respectable. Seaton battled the game out well and Marshall's 4 last quarter goals made his otherwise ordinary day look very good
Umpiring was poor very early on with neither side getting a better deal. Throughout the game they proved to be very consistent and reasonable. Some poor decisions (with two obvious "even up frre kicks)) but other than that were good.
P.S. Sorry I can't sleep, my daughter is sick and I am rambling

Harsh but fair.....
