Round 21 - Eagles v Port @ Unleash Solar Oval (Sat 18/8)

[Big Phil]

If not for the West v Norwood clash, this would probably have to be match of the round with the Eagles getting their season back on track, dominating the Roosters while Port got themselves a game closer to the five with a comfortable win over the Bays.

Cracking game this one.

We owe the Eagles some hurt ( after the last round of 2011 ) and snuffing out their finals hopes for 2012 this weekend would be great. Plus my best mate follows them and I could unload on him* if we manage to do so.

Ports forward half is starting to look dangerous and our defence has two options at least who are in form to cover the dangerous Grocke who always troubles us.

The winner stays alive, the loser starts booking holidays in September.

this is the match of the round

the result of this match has more severe ramifications then the West v Legs game

Agreed m_t_79

This game should be on TV.

Something tells me Eagles by a similar difference as last week.

"The Eagle has entered the building"

Maggies are on fire at the moment.

Well worth going here again Wedgie...

draw please ...

[CENTURION]

Eagles by 4 points.

[on the rails]

Parry has helped Port's cause by his report. Not that they need a huge advantage in ruck as they have been prety dominant in the ruck all year with Meiklejohn.

[MightyEagles]

Eagles by 1+

[Mr Fuller]

As a result of Parry's report.....

Eagles 10 point win if eagles ruck combo is Grieger/Grocke

Eagles 30 point loss if it promotes Bock in his absence.

[FlyingHigh]

Port by 3-4 goals.

[Slots It Through]

Surely Rae will not start in the ruck. Culley will play down back, Grieger in the ruck and Rae upforward i would have thought?

Where is Bock at? They are using part time ruckmen ahead of him?

[MightyEagles]

I think Bock has to bulk up more to be in the League team more often.

[RB]

Eags by 7 points

[beenreal]

I don't believe it, Redden and McCarthy dropped and playing for the Eagles!

[MightyEagles]

I don't believe it, Redden and McCarthy dropped and playing for the Eagles!

What's wrong with that? Helps us alittle bit.

[Aerie]

I don't believe it, Redden and McCarthy dropped and playing for the Eagles!

Very surprised Redden has been dropped. Why not give him an extended run with the Power? Anyway, huge in for the Eagles if he does play.

McCarthy is an unknown. He wouldn't know most players names I wouldn't have thought? Probably a straight swap for Knights' position if he does play?

I would be much more confident of tipping the Eagles with Redden in.

[SDK]

Eagles by plenty.

[eaglehaslanded]

Going into this game very confident. Geeezzz we got a lucky break with Redden coming in. Not sure what the Power are doing there. A win here and the right results elsewhere and the Eagles could be in the top 5 for the first time this season.

Draw !

Havent had one yet, must be due !
