A difficult loss to swallow that one. Should win when you're 8 points up into time on in the last quarter and with all the momentum. Credit to Eagles they kept running and created some chances late against a fatigued South.
A positive is that we managed to win 3 quarters, but the 3rd term was diabolical, especially our skills across half back.
The early loss of McMahon probably hurt more than most would think, as he was providing a good option as a 2nd tallish forward. Really needing somebody like Hourigan back in the side to give as another option to complement Eddy, with Rolfe then crumbing at their feet.
Thought Thewlis, Brooksby, Liddle and Eddy were again amongst our best.
A lot of injuries at Noarlunga so far this season. The radio guys mentioned parts of the ground are quite sandy.
Umpires made some bewildering calls, none more so than the 'non mark' to Rankine at the start of the final term in the South goal-square. A lot of holding and scragging went unnoticed by the men in white also.
