Last Time They Met
Round 14 @ Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval
Eagles 10.12.72
North 10.10.70

Looking forward to the pre game/post game thread.

Yep. Which North player will be called a sniper? How many games will Salter get?

Don't forget... How badly the Umpires favored the Eagles

That's a given.

the loser will have to play centrals in the first final

Shame Grocke isn't playing. That always seems to add a bit of spice to the games.

Should be a tight finish.

I'd say it will be holding the ball but will be paid too high to decide it.

Don't think it matters.

Finally Fitzgerald gets a game! I think he has deserved to play a lot more league this season than he has (just 1 match I think?). Ainger is a big loss, but his absence will obviously reduce our reliance on him, which can only be a good thing, although of course it is a very important match and it's the wrong time of the season to experiment too much. Rowntree is obviously a big loss for the rest of the season. Sumner is a good in.

Lose 1 to the AFL and get 1 back. Mitchell to play his fifth game and qualify for finals

Barring finals, it will be the last time these two sides play in a league game. A shame.

I think an Eagles win will mean there's a reasonable likelihood of the two playing a final this year. Would not want to be playing Centrals in an elimination final...

Kane and Staple as FF and CHF respectively and Salter at CHB on a "power teammate" who is 5 inches talller? Must say it is the smallest Eagles line up I can remember! They wiil also struggle to match up on Norths tall fwd line so here is hoping for a dry fast track at PO!

North by plenty, but after last night I feel numb and don't really care.

Can't see the Eagles winning another game this year.

RIP SANFL

No chance of that OTR, bring ya floaties, goggles and flippers

Large rain band to cross Prospect Oval at about 11.26 am and from there on it looks clear on the radar. Roosters to cement the double chance with an emphatic win. I hope. Cant see where Shahinger will fit in.

This will be Norths line up:

F: Campbell, Archer, Langford
HF: Wright, Stewart, Gordon
C: Thiele, Amato, Ryswyk
HB: Clinch, Miles, G. Thring
B: Keller, Dalwood, Ivens

R: J. Craig, Anderson, M. Thring
INT: Shannon, Gregg, O'Sullivan

With Wright in Teasdale will drop back with Schahinger and Kangur.
