Round 11: Eagles v Centrals - Saturday 27 June @ Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval

The Eagles survived a second half fade out to defeat Adelaide, while Centrals had a glorified training drill in their one sided demolition of North. Who will come away with the win this week?

Eagles in a fairly close one, lets say 19 points

Eagles by 52

Congratulations Luke Jarrod on 200 great games for the Eagles. Also congrats Michael Wundke finally getting 100. Eagles by 35 points

Congrats to Luke Jarrod, 200 games is quite an achievement.

Eagles comfortably by 40 points.

I think the Eagles will be to good at home, WWT by 28pts.

It's also the 50th club match for Jared Petrenko. There has not been too many quicker to 200 matches than Jarrad; only missing 7 matches since debut in Round 1 2006.

Great to see the Eags get up for Flash's 200th (and Wundke's 100th and pup's 50th etc) I don't get home often enough but he is one of my favourites to watch. A great player all round and I'm glad he gets to celebrate this game with a win.

So, there's something I have not seen in a League match before:




Good the club could win for Jarrad; massive test next week.

Popped his knee cap apparently, was up and about after the game, but looked a bit proppy.

While disappointed Centrals ended up losing, I was pleased with a fair amount of their play today. In periods they did outplay the Eagles, however the Eagles experience, and a couple of fluky McGregor goals, got the Eagles over the line. While Centrals are definitely not in the Norwood/Eagles class yet (today showed that), they are showing some good improvement in recent weeks, and will be dangerous to most sides on the run home.

Brucetiki,
i'm not sure you can call McGregors' goals ''fluky'' he kicks them way too often to be flukes, he's just one of those players that knows where the goals are on a very consistent basis

And the fluky points he got instead of goals would have sunk Adelaide the week before . Seeing BOG Henderson was always hitting the ball to him last week . Play on .
Was impressed on how Centrals fought back was more impressed with the way the eagles fought back and then went on with it.

Well done Eagles seconds 11 straight wins

Tounge in cheek here was it an attempt to lengthen the term by Centrals haha

I think the match winning move was "bobbie" moving up forward . Eagles must have been too tall down back .Moving him forward was the match winning move third tall had issues with him.
And just think Eagles can get better with injured players coming back in the next few weeks .
Well done to the eagles seconds 11 straight wins

As 2014 defending reserves premiers I think the Eagles streak is longer than 11 games.

The SANFL's answer to Eddie Betts perhaps
