Eagles do not deserve to lose this, been the best side all day

Central do not deserve to lose this, been best side all YEAR.

As was Collingwood and a number of teams over many years however , finally a coaching panel sat back and watched and learnt of the different structures Centrals use in the finals series and then threw it at them and it took them a half to work it out but what abgreat game of footy, what a great advertisement for SA footy, be party time at woodville tonight

I dont think Laird was outcoached, some of his players were fairly ordinary in the first half.

well done to Godden, the eagles and a few of the ex glenelg players

For every who watched, it was the best finish to a GF since...?

Parry a worthy winner, though I thought Powell was better. Killed Sutherland.

It looked like a number of Central players just expected to turn up and win. So many of their bigger name players had no impact at all.

last year?

Well done Eagles... Played very well all day...

Bugger

Well... This sucks.

Well done eagles, beat us at our own game today. Enjoy it, hopefully we get the next 5 to keep up the pattern.

[the joker]

With grocke on top in the first qtr. U have to think Justin hardy in and the dogs win.

[Mic]

Great game, 2 exciting GFs in a row (been a while since the SANFl has had that).

Loved that Eagles' defender's (Thompson?) mark in the last quarter.

A good reward for the Eagles Football Club, the only team that has really stood up to the Dogs in the past decade.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Glad I caught the last 10 mins.

Players being presented with their Premiership medals by youngsters on the dias. Central staying on the ground.
kand his team and supporters.
Michael Godden shows his respect for Centrals and says it is a privelege to play against them and the high standards they have set...
He thanks sponsors and the gutsy effort of his team in the last quarter....Huge applause as he thanks the supporters....
Players rush the podium... with photos....
Central leave the ground....
Eagles first side to win Premiership after losing Qualifying final - Sturt 1976

Thank Christ for that. Next step: two teams in next years grand final and one of them isnt Centrals.

[Jim05]

Hopefully the AFL scouts were watching and both sides finally get raided by interstate clubs

[stampy]

Thank Christ for that. Next step: two teams in next years grand final and one of them isnt Centrals.

my sentiments entirely, and at leawst the arrogance will be quelled for at least 12 months

[csbowes]

Eagles saved the SANFLs bacon I reckon...

[Jim05]

Thank Christ for that. Next step: two teams in next years grand final and one of them isnt Centrals.

Ill put money now on them being there next season.
Norwood will drop off and i cant see anyone else stepping up enough to challenge just yet

[Punk Rooster]
