Rnd 20 - Eagles v North @ Unleash Solar Oval (Sun 12/8)

[locky801]

Cicolella factor (end of year retirement announcement today) might add some emotion to the occasion.

Probably the reason he did it, or he wants more than his fair share of donuts

[The Sleeping Giant]

Cicolella factor (end of year retirement announcement today) might add some emotion to the occasion.

Is it his last game this week?

[Ian]

Not confident at all, hopeful but not confident.

Cicolella factor (end of year retirement announcement today) might add some emotion to the occasion.

Only if he gets injured.

No, his last game will be when we win on October 7.

WTF? you guys starting pre season that early with an internal trial?? geez, you could give the playing group some time off.....

[FlyingHigh]

Most of our players have had large chunks of the year "off"

Are the AFL boys named in their respective starting 22's or are they in an extended squad? They may still play SANFL perhaps?

[locky801]

Havent seen the Afl sides as yet Phil, would think that Johnston has been named however in case Porplyzia doesnt come up fit

[the joker]

Crows play Saturday so lewwy must be In the 22

Will be good to see how Stuart Hill goes. He could be a good in to cover Allers. Thompson should cover for Blees absence but a BIG loss is Jerry Lewis.

Johnston not in the Crows 22 but maybe going to be held back as an emergency to cover for Tippett in case he bangs his head again?

[Aerie]

Will be interesting to see how the final team lines up. Eddy has got a month left to show what he has got after being a high profile recruit that has had his season ruined by injury so far. Poole has been the best performing player in the Reserves for a long time and definitely deserves an opportunity. Knights you wouldn't think would be picked for the Crows? Must have been training the house down as his last game for the Eagles, particularly the first half, was one of the worst I have ever seen and definitely the worst I've seen him play. Redden continues to yo-yo from the Eagles to the Power.

Interesting they have named Raymond at Full Forward. I think this is a good move, especially with Salter no chance to play the rest of the season.

Expecting the Eagles to come out firing on the back of Cicolella announcing his intention to retire at season's end. This announcement may not be enough to inspire for all the games but I think will be enough to see the Eagles win this weekend.

Could be the opposite - the others thinking about abandoning the ship may take Cicca's move as a signal for them - McKenzie for one? Also if it was the last game of the year and his final game then maybe. Clutching at straws if the Eagles need his retirment annoucement at seasons end to inspire them 4 games out!

I don't think the Cicca announcement was done to inspire us to a win. If we play our best footy that will be good enough to beat North's best. Simple as that !!!

Finally a sensible post!

[Agile]

A little ironic that Ex Eagle, Miles is matched up on ex Rooster Grocke. Both have been very good for their new club's.I think the Rooster will win this matchup. Cocks by 12
