Think you may find the seconds go longer than 40 minutes

Both teams have outs should be a close game

Lol
Good one

Eagles should win this by 4 or 5 goals. Too much all round depth for Westies.

To the powers at be, like Mickyj has just done can every named team every week get posted on their respective games please...it could also create more chatter as well

Thanks Bayman I’m happy it worked

The Eagles minor round game plan was successful once again
They will be about the mark again in 2018
West Adelaide outplayed, but can and should improve

I was impressed with the Eagles running game but as I said at the ground looks great when it works . When it doesn’t looks crap .
Enjoyed seeing two of the three new recruits playing .
Sharrad seemed to be getting extra attention by a west player every time the west player was pushing and jumper punches he seemed to get it returned double fold if that makes sense .
Gray did some good work stuffed up a goal shot at the northern goal . But when west marked and kicked the ball into him he turned the point into a goal .
To me they’ve brought something good into the Eagles line up .
West I’m not sure did they try to much for the new coach too hyped up just not sure . If the high flier up in the goal square could’ve marked the ball from his high leaping game could’ve been much closer .

Was a good game great weather not sure of the crowd numbers but my street was packed with fans cars .
