Bays too good, wanted it more. I believe T Menzel might have got a poke in the eye at the end of the second quarter. Didn't re-appear after 1/2 time. Not all Eagles supporters whinge about losing players to the AFL. We have recruited to cover them. Are they are worthy replacements, time will tell.
Good kick up the arse for us. Liked the form of Mc Farlane. Partington hot for Bays.

He's one of those players who plays well at Reserves level but not a consistent League player. He was provided with multiple opportunities and played ok at times as a tagger but never did enough to retain his place. Always gave his all and a physical player but didn't have great speed or great disposal.

He was probably competing for a position with someone like Firns.

He will go well in the Amateurs but I'm comfortable with Sheedy's decision to let him go.

The Eagles really looked like a team trying to gel with so many new players. The fluency and cohesion was lacking for most of the match. Match stats showed we matched the Bays in most areas except inside 50s. This could be due to Eagles lack of cohesion and being unable to string passages of play together, where as the Bays seemed to get their goals easier. Sometimes I thought we held on to the ball too long waiting for something to happen instead of forcing the issue. The Bays defensive marking was outstanding and was crucial to their win.

Absolutely loved our tackling. Parto, Turner, Curran, Hosie & Reynolds excellent. Nice first game to Horsnell too.
Plenty to like but plenty to work on, decision making when not under pressure the stand out.
To the Eagles supporters who made the arduous trek today, well done. To the few who numerous times mentioned the premiership players missing from last year whilst getting your arse kicked, stop - just bloody stop. We lost 7-8 flag players last year & the league’s leading goal kicker in the mid year draft in a premiership year. Deal with it.
Good weekend for the club with the B Grade, U/18’s & U/16’s all recording comfortable wins too.


Cooper Horsnell son of former West Torrens reserves player Andrew Horsnell. Andrew couldn't quite make the league team so pleasing to see his son go one better. Andrew was a stand out for Henley after Torrens.

Not much of him but certainly has a crack. When was the last time we had a number 50 running around in the league @spell_check ?
Adds pace which we sorely need.
