What a great win by the Eagles . Had to watch it on the APP in hospital think it pushed my blood pressure up lol .
Of course I had to miss the 92 point killing off of north
But that’s life be awhile before I can attend games again

Reminded me of Round 24 1992. First game at Woodville Oval as WWT. WWT by 92 points that day, and beat North the following week in the Qualifying Final by a similar margin. When you're hot etc.

You are spot on. This probably should be in the History section. That 92 points was the end of an era for North after a good 10 years including 2 flags (and probably should have won more}. On the other hand it suggested to me that the Eagles were really in the premiership window and of course they went on to win the flag the next year and should have won one more.
This time the wheels had probably already fallen off North last year, although they still should have made the five. They are now bereft of confidence. The list still looks OK other than the lack of ruck strength but their skills are appalling.
It goes without saying that the Eagles were classes above North in all departments yesterday.

Great to see Patty Weckert play well in the league. Was a thought he was going to quit footy and concentrate on cricket after the AFL snub last year but great to see him start well.

In the bits I watched he was a stand out. Has a great future!

Yep very talented. Won an A Grade flag for us at 16 years old.

Scary to face on hard wicket with a cricket ball in his hands.
