Rnd 8 Eagles v West Adelaide Review

[Blacky]

siren did go before willits kick
but they do need a new one
dont think the umps affected the result today
we just wernt good enough today
we will bounce back
GO YOU BLOODS

[HOORAY PUNT]

Sirens at most grounds are poor and arein a drastic need of upgrading ,Glenelgs is the worst.

[The Apostle]

On TV it sounded like there were 2 sirens...one faint one and then a second later a loud one.

[SDK]

Surely no siren can be worse than Prospect !

[Mickyj]

I am still stunned how did we come back and win that game.Walking wounded big hearts and never give up attitude .
Just re watched the game (minus most of the first quarter thanks foxtel or channel 2 for the stuff up ).We lost that game in the third term but we came back from the dead.

still stunned but happy to be undefeated at unleash solar oval this year !!

[whufc]

I am so proud of our players & the club today.
The walking wounded - literally.

That no. 57 (47 after his injury)... what a leader.

This club gets continually bagged by all & sundary but keep coming back & showing great character - we cop s**t for the merge, we cop s**t for the GF losses, we cop s**t for having very few supporters but we keep coming back, time after time.

If clubs are built on character... then the last 20 years has been full of just that.

Today's victory against all of the odds, sets the club up for the remainder of the year & a tilt @ our 3rd Flag... Centrals are the team to beat, no question, but Woodville West Torrens FC has shown today that they are there abouts.

Godden deserves some credit but 2 things 'shone through' for me today...

Our backline - led by Macca (who must now be @ least equal favorite with James Allen for the medal @ this early stage) - they were superb.

Parry in ruck - he is the BEST big man in the competition IMHO

Go You Eagles!!!

Havent seen much of Paul Thomas this year then, would be in the votes again tonight.

Only took 8 Rounds for Ferguson, Harlett and Fisher to all be missing from their league side.

I thought Glenelg only upgraded theirs a couple of years ago.

Noarlunga's sounded like it was on it's last legs tonight as well.

[on the rails]

I agree - how much would it cost the leagues "richest" club to get a decent loud siren, a decent time clock - along with decent toilets and a clean up of the leaves and over grown trees!

Our club and the Prospect Council are a disgrace!

Did i mention anything here about injuries, i have just said that it hasnt taken long for all 3 of them to not be playing in the 'league' side.

Im starting to get worried now, it seems as if you have a fascination with everything i do or write on here. If you wanna take me out on a date just ask.

shall he bring a flare?

[statsman]

yes Hartlett has had a history with soft tissue type injuries and Fisher had knee reco's at carlton but as for Ferguson, i dont think he missed a game in his first 2 seasons and last year only missed due to having his ribs broken and also puncturing a lung, hardly a regular type of injury, not like ferguson breaks down every 2nd week as you want to try to infer. Fisher was a badly rolled ankle from a marking contest so not the same as what has kept him out in the past. So i dont spose u ever get injuries out elizabeth way???

I guess we didnt expect to lose Pettigrew and Schmidt to AFL sides. Shows how bad they are going with depth.
Piasente, Anderson to return to the B's next week. I assume hartlett will play league and Fergusson to miss Norwood and maybe Williamstown.

Could have schmidt, Fergusson, A. Hartlett all available for the game at Elizabeth as well as Piasente, Anderson, Rankine, Homburg. It will be a very different West Adelaide in attack with these players. adding height and making webb a very dangerous 3rd tall to match up on. I think most people would agree that the bloods have done well with such players out. In the past, we would have been destroyed in league games. The club has come a long way from the wooden spoon era two years ago.

Central Districts have had lots of injuries too - Their 2nd tier players have a history of stepping up. I guess I am saying that westies are also starting to build a similar culture to the dogs with our second tier players although our depth isnt quite as good but not far short of you boys from elizabeth.

Is it a bit early to be looking towards the game at Elizabeth - it's in round 16 correct? Also is it a bit too early to be comparing yourselves to Centrals - it hasn't even been 11 weeks near the top of the table, let alone 11 years?

Rest assured, no one has a fascination with anything you write on here.
If injuries weren't what you were getting at, what insightful point are you trying to make by bracketing those three players together and suggesting there was some inevitability about them not being on the park at the same time?
