Rnd 24 - Eagles v West POST GAME DISCUSSIONS

[JK]

Well we did make the finals. So of course we deserve it.

Spot on, don't reckon that can be argued against.

Exactly JK - we won more games than the 4 teams below us and less than the 4 teams above us so we are 5th. and that means finals - well deserved!

And you can watch it all again at 2.30am, Thursday, ABC 1. Last quarter good, Ben Grieger great.

Surely footy is as much a game of confidence as anything else. We heard Collins dribbling on 5aa last night about finals etc. well what would any of them know about Footy park in September, F--- All . Collins at quarter time was telling his players they were too wide and too defensive with their ball use; NO confidence I'd say! If Uncle Roy Bulldog can't work out how to counter West's switch and powerflood, well I'd be amazed. And just incase he can't 'Pressure the Ball'.

Eagles took the game on in the last quarter and forced many skill errors from the Bloods because of the pressure they applied. Not sure if that game style will win West too many finals. Having said that, the Eags tend to struggle against that negative, crowded style of footy and have done so for several years. Maybe they found the key in that last quarter Sunday.
