That is pretty much the Eagles strongest team. Only Treeby and Petrenko (dependent on if the Crows let him) could be added to that side for finals who are unavailable this week.
Allmond is playing his best football since his first season when he came runner up best & fairest. Both he and Rowntree have sharpened up their foot skills over the past month and are a reason why the Eagles have been able to turn around their mid season slump.
Hall has also improved and his first half last week was exceptional. It is the toughest position to play as a small forward and last week he had a hand in almost all the first half goals. He drifted out of the game in the 2nd half when the result was put beyond doubt, but when the game was on the line he was our best.
Tiller looks to be moving freely since he came back into the league side. This clearly was an issue earlier in the season. He has shown he does have something to offer, particularly with Grieger in the side to take the best forward. Grieger, Day and Tiller can take the 3 talls leaving the flexible Giuffreda to take a small - which I think he is better suited too.
Would be nice to wrap up the double chance tonight.
