Sturt v Eagles unley Sunday May 5

So Scott Hodges's son named in under 18s possibly for the first time for the mighty Eagles does anyone know what he's like as a player etc??

Just a matter of interest why is Ky Burgoyne playing for Port this afternoon first instead of Rome and if so when does Rome leave us is it still say July or so??

Know Rome goes to college rgc but it just surprised me.

O'Reilly named for Athlestone.

O'Reilly named for Athlestone. Watson SMOSH West Lakes named in A grade I've seen it.

And at another entirely different game, Jack Hayes finally gets back to play for St Kilda

Jack has had 3 games at Sandringham with 12, 14 and 18 Disposals, kicked 3.2 last week.
Saints clearly see the talent that he has.

Misread Watson for SMOSH west lakes. I've just realised

Anyone know the Current situation of Tom Luck?? Dropped or injured or rested for the State games?? Yes keep in touch with him on social media but he's also a mate of mine and just don't like to ask re him at footy.

With O'Reilly Domenico Dodd dropped there must be 3 changes unless someone else has been dropped from the reserves that we don't know about or pulled out injured

Where has Carter Norman and Blake renet gone

Norman still around playing for Edwardstown he played the first reserves game of the round and Renet abdominal injury he's still around. But gone home but he'll be back as he's good mates with Luke McKay actually who isn't good friends with Luke.

He was with a overseas looking man think it was a man the person had a young child and he made sure that he said hello to them and thanked them for coming out etc before warm ups then went back to them after warm ups. As they're basically in front of me last week the 2 were so it proves that he takes notice of people around him.

That third 1/4 was a shocker. Luckily the boys lifted with some horrid Sturt muck ups and good defending. How good was Firns that last 1/4.

What the heck happened then came back
Morris in the centre was good
Firns marking in the last
I’m still in shock but happy as

What happened to Cooke not playing or in reserves today. Fairall the same . Was Calvett meant to play with concussion as it certainly wasn't 21 days.

Cooke and Fairall are my players in the players auction so I've got a right to know what happened to them both.

Ok. Nothing to do with today's game but does anyone know what time the boys train on Friday night's?? I've been told by Jimmy Toumpas when he was playing to come out to training even pre season training but living in the country is hard but be nice to surprise them if I've got time to do so this coming Friday night.

If so I'm presuming they train at woodville is that correct too

What a great game. One of contrasts. Dug deep in that last quarter when the game was on the line.

Well done Jack Firns with three critical 'Jack Hayes-esque' marks in that last quarter. We've really got to accept the good with the bad with this bloke. Has limitations but his heart is the size of a lion.

This win has the potential to set our season up now. Sturt will be one of the contenders for the Premiership so to get a win over a side like this is huge. Just got to make sure we keep that momentum up for next week and not go into next week's game with the attitude like we did against fellow cellar-dweller Port.

What are these player auctions? Whatever it is, if you think you have been hard done by I am sure contacting the Club directly is probably the best place where you can raise your concern. Not sure this forum is the appropriate place.

No wondering if both pulled out injured or dropped. And yes I'm allowed to ask on here its not like they're not friends. And yes this forum is the right place as someone might know if they are injured or sick or Callum being dropped or something.

Love Firns, sure all players have some flaws . Perhaps Ballenden's best game as a ruck/ forward for us but still missed a few grabs. D'Alioa outstanding again and just the way were able to reset after being absolutey dominated is a credit to all. Some promising signs with some quality to come back in

Outstanding win considering we arrested Sturt's overwhelming momentum.
Several outstanding Eagle's players ( D'Aloia, Redden) and many others who played great supportive roles ( Firns, Ballenden, McKay, Rowe, Sinor and others). Perhaps only 2 players who didn't perform.
Resting Redden from the Centrals game may have been necessary but it cost us the game - after Norwood's Boyd, he is the next best SANFL ruckman - if the Eagles want to play finals this year, they need to put Lukac's development process on the Blackburn's - at present Jordan is struggling as a Seconds ruckman. Brinker-Ritchie showed more promise than Lukac if he can get his knee right, good for the centrebounces but way inferior to big Reddo for around the ground ball ups.
A big win for self-belief when the tide is against us !!!

Lukas Cooke has a broken wrist, was the runner for the reserves today.

I’ve passed that on to Eagles 35 wimpy

bloody automatic spelling! Not "Blackburns" but " back burner".
Can't fathom why Ballendon drops so many chest marks and also even tries to mark on his chest with his opponent right with him to spoil. Any player, with AFL coaching would know to catch it in the hands out in front where it can't be reached ! Frustrating to watch! Having said that, despite his faults, he did play well and is showing more aggression and leadership this year - perhaps he is happy to call Adelaide and particularly Eagles his home for the next 5 years.

Fairall?? Thankyou.  Would go out to training on Friday night if the boys are training at woodville but don't know what time they're training
