REVIEW Sturt v Eagles - Round 11

[am Bays]

So Warren Partland rocked up at the 20 minute mark of the final quarter to write his description of the game did he?

It's what he did for his report and comment piece on the 2007 Elimination final.

last 10 minutes of any game is normally what a journo writes about for the game descreption.

Warren walked past me and up to the back of the grandstand at about the 20 minute mark of the last term, in the reserves.

NorMALly the sMALler article that shows up on the AdelaideNow site is usually about half of the full, more detailed article / match review that appears in the paper the next day.

This is written at the bottom of the article linked earlier - READ THE FULL REPORT IN THE ADVERTISER ON MONDAY

A frustrating game to watch with both sides making errors. Until the Eags improve their skill execution and decision making, they will not have comfortable wins (4-5 goals as the north and sturt games should have been and as the stats showed) and struggle to beat central and norwood.

centurion, you are almost as funny as the umpiring decisions yesterday! NOT. but i am open to a hug and a kiss every now and then!

[Mickyj]

Thought we were 4 goal better team on the day

ROFLGO!

Well protect your head with your doll as you go into your fit because they are the facts.

Yet you were never up by 4 goals... ever...

...and last time out we beat u by 10 goals.

Well done maestro. Good use of the word fact.

YOUR CORRECT At adelaide oval Sturt did thrash the eagles .what happened from Adelaide oval to unley ?

[Mickyj]

I watched McLeay use his forearm in the WWT players back [u]twice[\u] to push him up the field before the kick even came in. Then when the ball came in he gave the slightest push-off to step back and take the mark. It wasn't big but it was there and I believe the 2 prior shunts would have drawn the umpires attention to his actions. A player of McLeay's experience should not have been surprised by the free. Kurtze also had a good shot at touching the ensuing kick on the goal line but had an air swing (admittedly under pressure).
.

Spot on Duckman I was also watching from the hill the push was right in front of me .And yes the umpires paid that as a push all day!! umpires were bad towards both teams all day IMHO.
Eagles should have won by 6 goals but bad kicking almost cost them the game.
BUT A WIN IS A WIN !!

All the front runners are back posting I see.

But the attention seekers continue to post strongly.

I'll admit it wasn't the greatest camera angle, but that match winning free kick was disgraceful. Have seen more psychical contests in basketball not called.

[once_were_warriors]

Any other time of the year , no free kick.

But on Sunday there were 3-4 of those paid so no surprise when it was given.

Good goal under pressure by Staple from outside 50 to win the game.

[HOORAY PUNT]

There were a few for hands in the back played , that was just a pathetic decision .

If you are referring to me then you can stick it, coz I live in the country and can only get a few minor round games and the finals.
Can't help it that the three games I've seen this year have all been wins

[Mr66]

Anyone got a crowd figure?
Addy, unusually, unco-operative in this regard.

I think he meant me . Front running mickyj at unley before BigPhil got there .Front running mickyj has missed 1 Eagles game since 2006 !!!

I was busy fishing the pat monday hence my late posting!!

I would guess 3000 - 3200 , it was better than I thought we would get considering Sturt are not going very well and the Eagles have a small following.

I reckon most came very late. At 1 stage there seemed hardly anyone there then next it was packed .

No worries. Hopefully the fish were biting as strongly as I did

[holden78]

The clowns on this site blaming the last free kick when Sturt were given exactly the same thing in the goal square a couple of minutes earlier to level the scores - forget that one did we.

How very true only see what they want to see
