The intensity shown today should be the bare minimum that we should be playing with from the opening bounce.
Two separate gutsy efforts from Jones and Jack Hayes attempting to spoil the ball within South's Forward 50m arc that could have knocked them out set the tone. Last week our players would have sat back and allowed the South player to mark uninterrupted.
Lonergan's inclusion was highly risky but his presence was massive (literally) and helped us to win the clearances. Foote had a great game and Tsitas continued to rack up the footy. Wehr and Mansell were fantastic in our defence.
Jungfer's inclusion in preference to Seymour was an interesting call and the latter could consider him unlucky. Seymour has played well through the season but is pretty well one-paced and Sheedy clearly wanted extra speed back there. I can't see Syemour forcing his way back in with North's three quick little blokes - Young, LeBois etc - rotating there.
Despite this some disappointing signs from a few players again -
Poole once again with his idiotic off-the ball lack of discipline that almost cost us two goals. He must go. Toumpas cannot be in the centre square as he is a bit soft and plays his best footy out in the open.Von Bertouch needs a rocket up his a$s and someone to tell him to get our of first gear. He's got a huge mark, and a great kick. He has the potential to kick 4-5 goals but needs to play with some desperation. However he stays this week.
Can't believe you are an Eagles supporter. Negative, negative and more negativity. Show a bit of faith in the coach and club. You are a pita.

South were brave but those youunger lighter bodies ran out of steam against a muture opposition, South finished the year as the third best team in the comp which was correct.
Never seen or heard so many South supporters at a game, if all those Southies sign up and become paying members next year we would be well underway to setting up the club for long-term sustained success.

Watching Eagles supporters trying to find their seats for more than an hour when there was 50,000 free seats was amusing.
An Adelaide Oval usher trying to tell me off for standing in the wrong section after the game was a giggle.
But when I told a young bloke off for abusing the lovely South supporting lady behind me in the disabled area with an F word, she tapped me on the shoulder with a smile and said "Thank you but you needn't bother as it's my son"

What, a yeast-leavened round flatbread baked from wheat flour?
Look as I clearly wrote, we played with great intensity complete with some gutsy efforts that inspired the team. This must be the benchmark. The coach pulled some moves from left field (as I had wrote multiple times in the week leading up to the game) and they thankfully worked so much so that the player involved (Jungfer) ought to be retained. But for all that we still had passengers - players who played ordinary last week and who, if are not given a rocket by the Coach, will let us down in the GF. Ferret can pretend they don't exist in order to feel nice but they are not going to go away.Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2020 7:53 pmJim05 wrote:Rowe kicked 3 in the opening 5 minutes of the halfPseudo wrote:Half time Eagles up by a point.
