Eagles by 15 goals

Dont forget the ravens will send back some AFL players

This one will attract a huge crowd!

WWT in a percentage booster

Eagles by 65-70 points

Percentage doesn't matter as we had a draw. No injuries thanks. Its still a long season.

Will be interesting to see if all 3 big men- Redden, Borholm and Guilhaus play.

They could play them all or play with none and they will still win by at least 15 goals.

Cant wait to tune into this one!

Pathetic game

Very tame game. Eagles didn't make the most of their opportunities. First half, Eagles 38 inside 50 to 8. Patrick Wilson an absolute stand out for the Crows......must be knocking on the door.

We need to stop 2:40 games at this time of the year at suburban grounds with no adequate lighting. It was totally dark at the end even with the training lights on. Surely Channel 7 must understand this.

All channell 7 understands is the need for the SANFL coverage to fit nicely in with its coverage of the eastern league. The punchline is that the SANFL pays 7 for this treatment. Should have paid a little extra to secure coverage by an independent broadcaster without other priorities.

I saw a bit of the 2nd half and genuinely believe Eagles used it as a trial once the win was in the bank, they played differently...was a training session, nothing more

Can’t blame. What’s the point of busting a gut and risking injury for what is just a training game for the Crows Reserves. 2 points in the bag
