a good game to start the season

Putting Port v Norwood at AAMI before the Power is stupid. How about having that game before and Adelaide game, you would see all these Port fans come out and complain.

Six nitght games at Noarlunga means we are definitely going to end up with the lowest crowd figures. We probably don't even have a night fixture against any of the other teams, apart from the one match I think we host at Adelaide. And that will most likely be against West or South.

at least we dont play before the crows / port

by MightyEagles Fri Dec 24, 2010 6:33 pm

but the U18s might play before or after like we did in 2009.

by Columbo Fri Dec 24, 2010 9:14 pm

The Noarlunga night games will be interesting, the sunday games seem to have worked well for them but people are hesitant to go there on a cool day, would expect they will be more hesitant on a cool night, and if it was a cool wet night the crowds might suffer, more so if they are struggling on the fiels. The timing of the games could be intesting too, maybe 3.30 or 4pm start for the twos and 6 or 6.30 for the league??

by MightyEagles Sat Dec 25, 2010 8:49 am

They prob be done for Sat night like at Elizabeth with the leage at 6.30 and say have the 18s start at 12.30 - 1 pm

Full programme in Sunday Mail tomorrow.

If it was the full fixture, it would include Reserves and U18s, but it would only be League.

Not if I can help it. Idea

The home night game at Adelaide Oval v Sturt gives us a chance to get off to a good start.

Hopefully we won't have 5 ABC TV Games at Woodville, an election or the poor weather that dogged our final few matches.

Plus stand by for a new promotion or two AND expansion of current special themed games such as the Community and Kids Day

If we can up to 2,600 per home game ( up from 2,060 in 2008) and yet STILL finish last in the league then so be it.

As for other clubs besides South, it is West's figures that I will be watching with interest.

With 5 night games will last years increased figures be retained or will the novelty factor see a drop off to something we can compete with.

by PhilH Mon Jan 10, 2011 6:14 am

Also our first game v South is on a SUNDAY !!!

by Col D Mon Jan 10, 2011 4:20 pm

Agree Phil

Our crowds are moving in the right direction and we are working very hard to boost. Phil H I'm sure will see us continue to build!

Don't worry Phil, I know you are trying your hardest; just lamenting the fact we cannot get night games at Woodville. Sad

By the way, you haven't confirmed my request on Facebook yet. Wink

So finally the real stuff begins! What's a likely team for those who have seen the pre-season games? Will we get Jacobs and Petrenko this week? Who's unavailable because of injury? Could it be something like this:

F: Hall Hentschel Cicolella
HF: Salter Grocke Treeby
C: Allmond Lewis Jarrad
HB: Thompson Tiller McKenzie
B: Petrenko Grieger Giuffreda
R: Jacobs Powell Rowntree
I: Parry Raymond Rayner

by EagleRock Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:19 pm

Suspect Tiller won't be available due to injury.Had an ice pack on his right knee yesterday.Does anyone know how bad it is?

i may leave this as the round 1 topic
What happened to our backline yesterday why did most of them disappear.
Or was "GODS" playing games!

I believe it was a broken blood vessel, a large one. Will be interesting to see if he does full training Wednesday night.

And then watch Salter, Petrenko and Jacobs get picked for the AFL matches. Cool

Other than that, good side.

by MightyEagles Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:21 pm

U16s and U18s play at Nourlanga on Saturday from 4 pm

by Premiers Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:26 pm

I thought Tiller was only ordinary in the Port trial, didn't see the Central match and then he didn't do much in the first 10 mins before getting injured against Glenelg. How good is he? Has he done any better than Todd Miles? Don't get me wrong - I'm wanting him to succee, just haven't seen anything special.
Treeby looks much sharper than anytime in 2010 - together with Parry, there wouldn't be a tougher combination. But it's the little speedy opposition that we have trouble with and South have plenty of those - Ports indigenous speedsters carved us up as did the Tigers quick on-ballers in the last quarter.

by Mickyj Thu Mar 31, 2011 6:41 pm

I have seen 2 different teams for Sunday one at the Eagles homepage and this one at the advertiser site

Eagles

F: Petrenko, Raymond, Hall
HF: Day, Grocke, Treeby
C: Allmond, Lewis, Rayner
HB: Powell, Salter, Jarrad
B: Tiller, Grieger, Giuffreda
R: Bock, Rowntree, McKenzie
Int: Thompson, Cicolella, Parry, Sutcliffe
