Eagles v West Maughan Thiem Kia oval sat August 8

Seconds 10.55
League it’s not up online yet think it’s either 1.25 or 1.35.

Guess we may have one new player in an eagles jumper seconds or league ?

Tsitas should play - might be given the prodigious number 4 guernsey no longer required by Johansen. Or my favourite number, 69. Reserves you would think this week. Might keep number 5 hanging up in the wardrobe a bit longer just in case Pup gets the urge.

Did you mean "prestigious" or prodigious number 4, don't get what you were getting at, or were you just trying to be cynical and messed it up.

I think Tsitas might play league on Saturday, Lonergan didn't train with the main group, looked sore and I doubt if he will play.

Well I’m interested in the new player from the VFL.
We needed another midfielder to help with injuries

Looks like he's playing...Moore, Westbrook and Gray dropped back to the reserves

Cheers he is wearing number 4

Yes, wearing the “prestigious” number 4 as predicted earlier in the week. A number worn with pride previously by premiership players in Nick Pesch and the “prodigious” Craig Parry.

You did mention that

Thanks for that website info, I was not aware of it. Looking forward to seeing Tsitas play tomorrow.

The under 18s won again last night well done lads

Jase Burgoyne is a gun. Can't be drafted this year. Still another year of U18's. 37 touches last night.

Any idea what happened to redden in the last quarter?
Or did Sheedy rest players ?

It was far from pretty but Woodville-West Torrens continued on its pacesetting trend by accounting for West Adelaide by 48 points at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Stringing together their sixth win in succession, the Eagles overcame their inaccuracy in front of goal to secure another two premiership points.

Still without a trio of key players in last year’s Club Champion Jordan Foote, captain Luke Thompson and veteran Matt Goldsworthy, the hosts looked in control throughout the afternoon as they engineered 23 scoring shots to 10 and 46 inside 50s to 30.

With the Hayes brothers – Jack and Nick – dominating the air with 20 marks between them, the Eagles didn’t waste time asserting themselves on the Bloods with the opening two goals to goalsneak James Rowe.

Rowe, in the early frame to win this year’s Ken Farmer Medal, produced two pieces of lovely crumbing play to first boot a checkside in traffic before evading two would-be tacklers to snap truly from 35m.

West’s Brett Turner and former Glenelg forward Josh Koster both kicked goals on the siren at the first and second change respectively to give their side a faint sniff with a 14-point deficit at the main change.

But while the scoreboard wasn’t showing it initially, the Eagles dominance was starting to evolve as they had 13 scoring shots to four at half-time, Nick Hayes left to rue costly misses en route to tallying six behinds.

The scoreboard pressure came for the Eagles in the third term as the reinvigorated Jake Von Bertouch, Rowe and mature-age forward Tristan Carcuro booted the first three goals.

Carcuro, plucked from Sacred Heart Old Collegians in the off-season, was on his way to cashing in after booting another three in the final term to equal Rowe as the leading goal kickers in the match with four each.

It enabled the Eagles to gain valuable percentage late in the contest, ensuring they would remain at the top of the ladder ahead of second-placed North Adelaide, who defeated Sturt at Prospect.

Eagle Jake Comitogianni applies a crunching tackle. Picture – David Wolverton.
Eagle Jack Hayes finished with 24 disposals to again be one of the dominant figures on the ground while Chris Hall and Jimmy Toumpas, who had 47 possessions between them, were particularly constructive with each touch.

Vice-captain Joseph Sinor finished with 21 disposals and a nice set shot goal from just inside the 50m arc while Lachlan McNeil had another consistent display after being announced as the Round 6 Powerade Breakthrough Player earlier in the day.

Port Adelaide Next Gen Academy prospect Lachlan Jones started the game brightly for the Eagles with an array of intercept marks and crunching tackles before tallying 17 disposals and five marks.

The Bloods handed League opportunities to William Mead and Tom Morrish for the first time but it was experienced campaigners in Kaine Stevens (30 disposals and seven clearances) and Aaron Anderson (29 disposals) who led the charge.

Crows SANFL recruit Jordon Boyle was again among the ball-winners for West with 23 while Brett Turner continues to show promise in his midfield role with 22 touches and a set shot goal on the quarter-time siren.

Usual key forward Lyndon Hupfeld was swung into defence to positive affect, with the Bloods bigman finishing with 20 disposals and eight marks.

Eagles just rolling along nicely. Tsitas looks like he’ll fit in nicely to the midfield. Add Foote, Lonergan, Goldsworthy, Thompson and Lowson who didn’t play today and the depth is there.

Like the way Firns goes about it. Him and Lee are both good sizes and move well. If Nick Hayes could’ve kicked straight he might’ve had one of the all time dominant games - marked everything, as his brother did the week before.

South at Noarlunga will be a tougher proposition than the past two weeks - can’t afford to lapse for periods of the game like we have the past fortnight.

For myself I think Sheedy tried out different players in the mid field in the last .
The younger guys took the game over in the 4 th and ran west off their feet .
I’m assuming redden and co were rested
Lonergan and Tistas in the middle should be a great pair
Foote we need him back along with goldy and Thompson

If I’m correct was nice to have a coach who tried new things out .
Our seconds were fantastic running with the ball and showed confidence in themselves

Very disappointed in West's mindset from the start of the game. Thought they were out to minimise the bleeding from the first bounce. I'm sure the handful of supporters they've got would have much preferred them to try and take the game on and have a crack. Might still have lost by 48 points but at least it would have been a more entertaining style of game.

Now, if Nick had just kicked a bit straighter we could have won by 69 points quite easily and made me even happier ......

Selection night will be interesting

Indeed - talking to Thomo and Goldy they are both saying they are ready this week and I believe Foote will be too.
Not sure about Lonergan though, he's a week to week proposition it seems.
3 guys are going to be very unlucky this week - can see Lee, Firn's and Pudney all starting early this week and strengthening an already strong Reserves side. Unless the Coach chooses to rest a couple.
