Round 4 WWT v West

[wedgetail]

Another even team performance from the Eagles. West were competitive and have no doubt improved on last season. Clacker valve was getting a work out when West kicked the first 3 goals of the last quarter quickly but to our credit, we steadied and ran the game out well. Loving Ethan Grace on the HBF and Clohesy is starting to live up to the pre-season hype. Jack Hayes has added a different dimension to the forward line.
A better than usual crowd for an Eags v Bloods game. Anyone know the figure?
