Eagles v Centrals RESERVES PRELIMINARY FINAL

THEBARTON OVAL SATURDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER, 11:00AM


We missed out on the straight route to the GF but quietly confident we will win Saturday and we will beat Glenelg in the GF.

I did put a post up on this one but go for it Goddy
I will put the team up when it’s out we are all interested in whose playing

Sorry , my bad, did not see it. I am hoping we can name a strong side that will test all for the league GF. I wonder if any  U18's will be in it. There is the state U18 game in WA so maybe not.

One under 18 was sore missed out on the GF win and is going to Port father son maybe he will

I haven’t seen the side yet anyone else have it

Ok just seen the side
Lister in the state side
EAGLES
Calvett, McFarlane, Adams, Mills, Haylock, Moore, Kerrish, Lee, Neumann, West, Mead, Seymour, Hardie, Williams, Bruce, Gaffney, Dawkins, Pearce, Michael, McLeod, Von Bertouch, Hoile, Buck, Jackson, Wheare

Can old dogs learn new tricks? Surely.
At last Wed. training, good to see Mills having considerable instruction/practice on overhead marking the ball at the highest point utilising his full 198cm rather than marking in front of his eyes.
His form has improved in the last half of the season, when he has used his mobility rather than his strength (or lack of strength). Worth keeping around next season even though he's 28- 29 yrs without an Eagles league game to show this year.

It appears the Eagles have Max Litster, Lucas Cooke, Jordan Lukac, Adam D'Aloia and Brayden Calvert in are the U19 State team to play WA tomorrow.

That's a massive reflection on our junior system. Throw in Burgoyne missing. I'm always for promoting the juniors.

Picked the wrong day to put in the worst performance for the year. Hand ball happy again!!

Shocking game. We threw a GF appearance away. We bombed the ball into the forward 50. VB unsighted. Centrals seamed to score on the breakaway.
