Elimination Final - North v Eagles @ AAMI (Sun 16/9 12:10pm)

[The Sleeping Giant]

Seem to recall both being low scoring and close.

[eaglehaslanded]

I've said all along if we made the finals I could see us making through to at least a Prelim Final. The possible inclusions would be Parry, giuffreda would be handy. This will be a cracking game. C'mon Eags !!!

Uh oh - Eagles by plenty

[Mr Fuller]

North's forward line looks pretty strong

I always think that Alleway seems to trouble us. Very timely that Parry has returned which will allow Grieger to potentially go back there if things are loooking dangerous. I am very concerned that Culley has retained his spot in as I believe that he has been the weakest link despite our team playing reasonably well over the past month

Will Redden be available?

Mick Godden was on 5AA last night amd he mentioned the Power have withdrawn Jarrad from playing SANFL finals...

You would think the Port Flowers would have Redden's development in mind and let him play solid meaningful games that matter but I guess that's why they are a bottom club with no idea forward and little chance of attracting any decent recruits! Joke of a club

I think Culley has been pretty good. Thought he's improved his spoiling from week to week and his run and kicking is good. Only major flaw is he's dropped a mark each game that a league footballer should take and it has often been costly. This is just a confidence thing IMO. I think he'll be good for us long term.

So good to have Parry back and even better news he'll go around again next season. From the named interchange obviously Cica will play and I think Culley needs to to allow Grieger to go into the Ruck when Parry is resting. Fitzgerald looks a class player and I'd give him a run up forward. We need to take advantage early if we get a run on - I don't think Rae or Lane add much to the team.

If North can stop the run that B Sumner has given them over the last couple of weeks, it will go a long way top winning the game. Is it true that Tim Sumner has been dropped and has qualified for U18 finals?

Correct, mate...

Sturt did the same thing with Harley Montgomery last week against you guys...

Its a fair step down..... Happened last year with Lachie Neale also, played in a league final for the Bays and then play in an U18 final the next week.

[FlyingHigh]

You could argue whether it should or shouldn't be allowed, but he hasn't played well enough to deserve to stay in the league side. Although I think he is an exciting prospect for the future.

[ferret]

The point is!!!!!!! He's under 18 and qualified that's the point. Could not hold his place this week in the league, no reserves in finals, should he be held back from showing his wares in front of recruiters when he is trying to establish a future for himself.

[MightyEagles]

I might be wrong, but don't you have to play 3 of the last 5 minor round games to qualify for that grade?

[teaoby]

if your league are in i think your free to play in any lower grade. could be wrong though

[fish]

Centrebet market for the game:

North $2.75
Eagles: $1.44

Worth a bet on North I reckon...

[Wedgie]

Good news as we always win outsiders and always lose as favs.

You are playing a team below you on the ladder though.
