Rd 20 2007 Eagles v North

[Wedgie]

Does that make sense ?

Nup, as Im really just after an explanation as to why I didn't get a donut today.

Well LEH did his job today then plying you with grog I got my donut .perhaps they didnt like north fans chanting you reds

MMMMMMM sprinklesssssssss

Pfft, 1 beer is hardly plying me with grog!

[Mickyj]

No but I have watched every eagle game except the night game at elizabeth due to illness.
What I have seen is the EAGLES having 3 big men up forward .When they have lost in the past with Kenny and Ben both could or appeared not to gel .With kenny at CHB they played better than today,mind you the other macca is great down back.
Now it could be they don't gel or the EAGLES don't bring the ball in correctly.
As I stated earlier Adam is playing this more like Fergus Watts compared to the way he played last year.
And I was more than happy with Ken up forwad today he worked great took fantastic marks and kicked good goals. But then Ben struggled and was replaced at FF by Passador who then had the ball delivered better to him by the players up the field.

Does that make sense ?

Well I think that Passador is a better leading forward than a contested forward - Schwarze is better at that - and McGregor kicked a couple of good passes to him today.

Spot on Spellchecker when Passador went to FF the eagles delievered the ball into the forwardline correctly .Also helped getting a 25 metre penalty from Coulter .

CD was doing a good job of walking them off going up and down the steps in the grandstand.

Grocke was rested due to a tight hammy from last week.......

Smart.
We were a bit unlucky today when our Captain Brett White went down with a hammy at the 2 minute mark of the first quarter.

No he's 14.

Shane Schubert is 29 and he seemed to have some hammy issues too but played more then 2.5 mins.

Brett White is number 14. Number 29, Schubert went off in the second term and returned later in the game.

Snap.

Schubert copped a kick to the back of his thigh. Was able to run okay but he had trouble extending the leg when kicking. This is why he didn't come back on till a bit later in the game. Not a hamstring strain though.

We were there after you, the 4 of us all recieved a donut, my be they only gave vouchers to those that walked in the gate, perhaps your prime car park might have been costly.

Just finished watching the game on TV.

Eagles win toss.

Eagles 1st goal was actually off McIntyres leg, umpires cost us 5 pts

North 1st goal from strong D.White goal, no umpire influence.

20 minute mark, Cicolella throws ball 60 metres out from North goal (disposes it with no handpass from hands when tackled) no free kick

14:11 Disgraceful free kick to Passador 30 out AND the umpire gives a 25 metre penalty to boot.

16:50 Alleway takes good strong mark 45m out, umpire pays in the back, Eagles run it down to the other end and goal, 12 point turnaround decision.


18:00 Coulter takes mark 40 m out from Eagles goal, Eagles player runs over the mark but instead of giving 25 m the umpire calls play on! He handpasses to Coulter who runs 14 m with the ball yet the umpire calls him for running more than 15m!! AND then the umpire gives 25 m, goal, shocker.

25:00 ABC commentators admit 3 crucial decisons have gone against North after Motlop gets a shocker against him in the middle for holding the ball

25:50 Goal from Alleway after marking Motlop pass.

30:31 siren goes.

Add all the umpiring decision that cost goals or cost goals and its almost 10 goals, Im even more ropable now after watching the replay and analysing the game.

[centrecirclelegend]

no mention of five in the square at a ball up that cost ya a goal!

Jars was spewing on that one.....just dumb football at its best!

That wasn't the umpires fault, if you read the post he was highlighting the quality of umpiring that was witnesed today, it was shite!

[Wedgie]

If people will read my post properly they'll see that the parts in green are non umpire influenced goals for both sides and the parts in red are the umpire influenced goals for both sides. I haven't bothered adding them, I don't need to after watching the replay. I know what sort of result I'd get if I did but I don't think I want to know!
