WEST ADELAIDE V EAGLES ROUND 4 -2019

WA V EG
Friday 19/4/2019
Richmond Oval
2:10pm start


WA still maidens after 3 games and need to draw first blood this season starting with this game
A WA loss and at 0-4 would all but put out finals aspirations
EG find themselves 1-2 having only beaten NA in round , prob not good enough for a team touted as a Premiership chance pre-season
A win and 2-2 puts them in a reasonable position, however a loss and 1-3 would be a poor start to the season
I expect EG should be winning this game
WA may not win this match, but one thing for sure, the Richmond BBQ is always a winner

I’m interested in seeing which Eagles team shows up grr or more seriously.
Do the Eagles have players coming back into the league this week .
Guess we will know about the side tomorrow

Im assuming you wont be posting the Eagles side this week just in case you offend anyone

The last time WA defeated WWT in this comp was the 2015 Grand Final
Since that game WA has not been able to produce a winning score
30
50
63
40
52
56 and this match was the lowest losing margin which was 21 points

WA simply have to find a method of increased scoring to beat WWT
Perhaps this fool forward line might be the answer
First Blood...Thiele....Lee

Very good post love a laugh

Guilhaus and N. Hayes trained with reserves, I would think N. Hayes does not play at all and Seb. plays in the reserves.
Pickett and Mead selected in Aust. U18 team to play Casey on Saturday, so they will miss the match on Friday.
Toumpas, Lonergan, Sinor and Giuffreda trained in the league squad of 23. West was also in the squad of 23.

If big Seb is available he should play. Last game was NT GF. It appears a handy lot of injured players to come back. JT needs a run in the 2's.

I agree with goddy11 on big Seb eagles need him
JT in the seconds wouldn’t hurt either

I would rather have an under done Jimmy T. in the team than a few others.
Seb might be paying a club penalty!!!!!

Toumpas has been joined by co-captain Pat Giuffreda, former Gold Goast Sun Jesse Lonergan, ruckman Jordan West, goalsneak Jake Johansen and running defender Joseph Sinor.

Great win by the bloods

Was a great win by West saw them last week against us and they were awful.Couldnt have predicted that performance where does that put the Eagles at the moment.

Same as west 1 win
Eagles looked disinterested disheartened and too old and slow

I think it showed that the Eagles need one or two quicker players to complement the team. As we saw with Westies, things can change quickly.

I thought Josh Ryan was great opposed to Hayes, Snelling with 42 touches was superb, Murray Waite was quick and his
best game so far, Beech and Keough were great.

Eagles had zero pace
Redden being an out hurt
Not enough forwards
No run
No game plan
From talking to other fans some players have gone past their use by date .

However saying that big Seb should be in next week
Not saying the bald umpire helped west but clearly his umpiring was not up to sanfl league standard . Now there was two bald umpires but one was shocking
Let’s say Rowe was being held onto going for a mark a metre away from Baldie play on ball goes to west’s forward line same tactic west forward being held whistle free kick three umpires two with one set of rules and one with another .

But the eagles were rubbish
West were fast and well drilled

Will Snelling's performance was outstanding. 43 touches at a high efficiency, which often meant a West Adelaide clearance. Redden's absence helped West, with Parella doing well. After a poor game at central, suddenly West had 3 marking forwards, Middleton, Keough and Beech (14 marks).

The unheralded Murray Waite on a wing gave us pace and line-breaking. Easily his best game for us and he'll keep developing, along with Fairlie, Dunkin & Co.

Josh Ryan was terrific on Hayes, a real old-fashioned, close checking full back.

John Noble has to be one of the most under-rated players in the SANFL, was great again yesterday and his pace and work rate was tried in the midfield at times with outstanding success.

The Eagles will respond, but may look to change their mix a bit, to inject some more run.

Was Seb 17 in the reserves for Eagles if so he cant kick to save his life. I never bag umpires but I swear they tried to keep Eagles in the game. Some decision's for both sides were questionable. Eagles to old to slow.

I can't remember when Eagles last lost three in a row
