8 games left.
We outscored them after quarter time and we won 2 quarters. It that positive enough for you Northerner and Gazza?
What positive did you come up with this week N.

Not sure what kind of standard the doggies have been playing in previous weeks but the team that came out against the eagles was actually pretty competitive with a few kids who you can tell will be very good once they get a bit more experience. Thought your ruckman did a reasonable job against an in-form Redden and was very impressed with Montgomerie. From an outsiders perspective the main thing you are missing at the moment is a key forward. Yes, its more than likely you won't play finals this year given how many key injured players you have and the inexperience of the current players but next year your team should be around the mark.
Eagles had a tough time at the Office and aside from our fast start we really only broke even with Centrals for the rest of the match. Very concerning was our wayward kicking for goal and wasted opportunities. Foote's absence was sorely felt in the middle but gave some others the opportunity to step up. Redden was great, Sinor had another good game and Von Bertouch probably should have probably ended up with 5 goals. Jack Hayes great around the ground but very poor with his kicking for goal. Lonergan looked underdone following his return and Rowe had an uncharacteristic quiet day - whoever stood him did a great job.

Strange when the opposition supporters are more pragmatic and positive about the Dogs than Doggie fans.
Thanks Mr Fuller and MJP for your thoughts
Eagles dominated clearances with Redden and Sinor and had some good targets up fwd.
Joel Hayes again reminded me that he has attributes that would have been fine at AFL level b4 he does the absurd. His set shot from 10 metres out that barely passed the goal line was bizarre.
The Dogs are bereft of experience and height and are running a whole heap of kids who all seem to click in at 175cm. Most of them look great in the Magoos but need time before they can transfer that form into the higher grade.
One who is doing that is Montgomerie. Great game down back against some quality talls. Took 9 marks including 4 contested but also affected 12 spoils showing he knows when to back himself and also when to defend.
Habel did great shutdown of Rowe and still won plenty of ball.
Boyd continues to work hard but it seems that we are losing Trav Schillers input as a result? Or maybe thats more about Trav still struggling after no pre season

"Mr Fuller" your statement that the the Eagles only broke even with Centrals for the rest of the match is not comparing apples with apples. In the last three quarters Centrals had the use of a 5 goal gale twice to the Eagles once. The final result was 11.13 to 7.7, 24 scoring shots to 14. Although it wasn't a great match to watch a let down was on the cards. Must remember we had Foote, Goldsworthy, Thompson, Haylock and Sharrad all out injured. There is also Sam Lowson and James Tsitas to be possibly fitted in to the team.

The outstanding game from Rhett was a highlight whilst Durdin and OBrien are developing nicely.
Which of the younger players are you enjoying see develop?

You are making more sense than your fellow Eagles supporters who are feeling sorry for us.
14 scoring shots to 13 after qtr time when we had the use of a strong breeze twice.
The quality you have to come in also would make a big difference.
The only positive for me was Montgomerie, could be thrown forward just to try something different.
