R19 Eagles vs North

[Wedgie]

That doesn't need to stop you from doing so, but I thought at the greatest it was 60/40 in favour of North. Do you think 3,500 is the right estimate for the crowd?

Dunno, hard for me to judge as I was only sober till about 2pm and there was only about 1600 there at that stage.
As per usual for the last couple of years everyone rocked up in the last 15 mins though.

I thought it strange today how the ressies finished at 1.30 only to have a 5 minute presentation of the old Woodville players.

Hehe, if you've got to hang your hat on something, do it.

he he.
We could also hang our hat on the crowd %s but I know that upsets a few people so I won't mention it!

Without a shadow of a doubt definately more North supporters there today. In fact I thought we might have got a few more there today. Big day for the club and all. Bit disappointing really.

[Leaping Lindner]

I don't think I said it already, but it was a pleasure to meet McAlmanac, Leaping Lindner and The Big Warrior from BigFooty today.

Good to meet you as well Spelly and the big warrior. Pretty scarey Mac, myself and the big warrior being in the same place at the same time - 3 major footy nerds together
Back in Victoria now but noticed the last quarter brawl got an airing on the Adelaide news tonight. Good stuff!

They were pretty good photos for a guy who was not sober!

I forgot to check the news, usually they show about two goals and something from a Crows or a Power player.

But while an all in brawl is not good for the games' "image", it in a way is another good advert for the league to show this is where the tough footy is played.

Nah, they were average today, the lighting today (and last week) has been the best for taking pics all year but my pics from earlier in the year were better, but I did take basically all of those in the first quarter, I don't think I could have focussed on the camera let alone got the camera to focus for me later in the game!

(I'm still relying on my Gill Mark and Culpitt Gatorade Bath for my chance at an award this year;))

Hopefully like the Roosters I'll hit form again in the finals.

I did figure that would have been the first quarter, however.

??? I know he and Moorey are losing their hair but that West End must still be ahving an effect on you wedgie...

Nice call.I Forgot to mention they showed some goals as well. Two of Skipworths and Hudson kicking North's first!

FFS, I think I should go to bed, WTF was I thinking??

PS Yeah, I think its the hair thing, they both the look the same (despite playing for different clubs!)

[spell_check]

lol, glad I wasn't let down about the "highlights package".

[Wedgie]

Anyway back onto the game, I thought Lindsay was awesome today. Absolutely slaughtered O'Hara and Huddo did well to bascially break even with him.
Eagles absolutely killed us at the stoppages today, most of our goals especially in the first half would have started from our half back line.
Koops shirt front was one of the better I've seen for a while in the SANFL, very sweet.

North are short an in and under rover type, I've said that all year and today it was proven again.
Our hand around the packs and delivery was crap, the Eagles hands around the packs and delivery was exceptional.

Well done to the Eagles, deserve full rights to outright premiership favouritism now and I think North drop back to the pack with South, Glenelg, Port and Central.

I might have to start up a thread "to downplay your club" now!

Hopefully the players are fully aware the performance today needs to be repeated when it counts.

[Wedgie]

I might have to start up a thread "to downplay your club" now!

he he, not a bad idea as it seems to be an ongoing trend these days.

Time for this little black duck to go to bed, hopefully when I wake up it will be Saturday morning and I just had a bad nightmare!

Sleep was good to get rid of last Sundays performance, so good idea.

The pictures are always good on the Eagles official website. Every game is captured. The club looks after their own.

PS. Your pics are good too Wedgie. Much appreciated, as is the website. Very hypocritical to be having a go at Eagles supporters though. We are the club that you have no respect for aren't we?

[Mickyj]

Hehe, if you've got to hang your hat on something, do it.

he he.
We could also hang our hat on the crowd %s but I know that upsets a few people so I won't mention it!

Wedgie I would not have ago at you as you do a great job on this site and yes you are correct you out numbered us again BUT I would say we were very vocal yesterday .I did hear the odd you reds.But us Eagles fans were really vocal with go you eagles and the WOODVILLE chant was great even the eagles fans in front of the FOX stand were doing an eagles chant .And we mustve hit a nerve in the Jarman stand with your seconds players they didnt appear happy with some of the comments us EAGLES fans were making .
I could type them out for you but they might cause more hassles
Cheers
And to be honest I was very quiet last week mate thats footy fans

Well written report Wedgie it was nice to see Lindsey get off the ground at ruck taps he has not done that all year .
Both teams have flaws in their game plans ours was showed up last week yours this week .

Yeah sure mate, the fox stand and the people in front of it REALLY seemed to be making lots of noise. I bet Jars was blown over with the noise.

[holden78]

Eagles to good and strong, still lots of players to come back . Where will jarman be next year?
