Eagles v Sturt August 22 Maughan Thiem Kia Oval

Z Williams had his right wrist strapped tonight due to the opponent punching him and he punched him back too hard

Got the opportunity to meet Sam today yeah straight away he seemed a very nice person the way he asked me how I'm the fact that he said pleased to meet me the fact that he called one of my friends mate straight away

I actually told Zane to get him when his opposition player was getting him and guess what he heard it Zane did

So Jack Hayes's shoulder popped i heard his dad asking Jade after the game when waiting for the boys to come off the oval

Will go for scans Sunday or Monday and is very unlikely to play against Norwood. I hope he is at least rested against Norwood.

Need to get Jack Hayes right. No point in risking him.

West played well yesterday. An opportunity for him to ruck in tandem with Redden for a couple of weeks to see how that works. Manage Redden’s workload too.

Tsitas again played well yesterday, as did Sinor. Might cost Foote a Magarey!?

Lowson straight in after a run in the 2’s?

A win against Norwood Friday night will pretty much guarantee the double chance with an opportunity for Sheedy to manage the squad leading in to the last month of the minor round.

Are all finals at Adelaide Oval this year?

Both Hayes boys are a bit down the last few weeks but that's because they are our danger players . A week off for Jack if that's all would not hurt. Playing 2 rucks in modern football is a risk but I must admit West played a lot better than the previous week. If Lowton comes in who drops out. Gus must be close to coming back and we need his close in work. Jade had a few good coaching moves yesterday. Gave Rowey more midfield minutes and gave Jones some forward time. Our defense has been great . Can't play with that much. Norward on a Friday night will not be easy. We don't want to take it for grated.

Angus said that he'd be back on Friday night when asking him when he'll be back

Perhaps West's best game for us. His positioning generally ok i reckon he just needs to believe. If he can compete like O Brien at the Crows then that will keep him in the side. Will Lowson come in? Hard to gauge his value We lost our first game in choppy conditions and it must be tough to come in mid stream even in a decent system

Anyone know if same injury as last week for Redden never spoke to him for that long no Coff and no Gray as Gray would've been recovering from his surgery during the week so if say if Hayes scans don't look good the fact that if redden isn't fit if he is you'd expect say a firns to help out or even vonnie to help out in ruck wouldn't you

The way the new James and my brother were talking to each other was like they had knew each othe before last night same as a few players my brother had met last night

One of the reserves boys thought it was good to drop that game before finals that was his opinion Saturday night for the reserves

I was worried how Jimmy T would go this year. He imho has exceeded expectations. His disposal has improve as well as being a high possession winner. Maybe a dark horse Magarey Medal chance for us. Throw Sinor in that mix.

The reaction to the reserves boys after the game though missed the first few minutes or so of league they seemed there normal self

Anyone at the luncheon if any from here heard how James the new James had his quarantine in a 2 bedroom apartment while Sam stayed in a hotel so two different places but I'm guessing that Sam would've had everything delivered to his room and James to his apartment

How was the lunch Eagles35?
Did they serve The Fish?

It was great thank you, The Fish?? yes fish was one of the choices on the main menu but not The Fish as he was watching footy instead

Again Gray should be season he would've had surgery on his ankle he said to a friend of mine that he rolled it but did ligament damage or whatever it was he defiantly wasn't there on Saturday unless he was resting it somewhere

The Fish and chicken was on the menu and pasta for main

Sounds delicious Eagles35.
Didn't hit the bottle I hope !
