This is from the club website, no mention of Scotty Bricknell who played last weekend so maybe he is also an "out"

[Brodlach]

Looks a better team with the inclusions and there is a chance Lobbe will be back also.

[Mr Fuller]

The eagles team looks weak this week particularly up forward. I'm guessing the team won't start as named though because....

Hoban can't mark the ball so surely he won't be up there? IMO he is purely a ruckman who should be on the bench when not playing there. I also don't think Biglands will be playing.

Jacky in the backpocket is a bad move as he is too loose and doesn't knw how to spoil. While I thought he played ok agsinst port on the HBF I think he is more suited to playing forward. Surely Stewart will replace him in the backlines..

[Mr Fuller]

The other thing which scares me is the real possibility of having Grieger and Giuffreda playing together on the last line of defence. I'm not sure who of them is worse in their kicking. To have two dud kicks in the backline makes me shudder. Expect at least 1 maybe 2 goals to be given away from them through bad disposal. I reckon they make Paul Northeast look like nathan buckley

[bayman]

if lobbe doesn't play parry & biglands will have a field day, wwt by plenty presuming lobbe does not play...if lobbe plays wwt will still win but the margin will be abreviated by a few goals

No idea where your getting your info Mr Fuller .I also dont think the eagles will line up as named .I think the skipper will play as an on baller after his last effort down back.
and biglands trained with everyone on Wednesday night .
Vince looked great in an Eagles training jumper.

[eaglehaslanded]

Forward line is certainly weakened with the loss of Schulz (Power) and Salter (Injured). Plenty of ruck options with Parry, Hoban & Biglands. Midfield looks good with Vince there also. My tip: Eagles 27 pts.

Must have changed the website after I wrote this.

Are you sure about that Mr Fuller? How many games have you seen of the Eagles with either of them playing. Did you watch any underage games with Patty playing? Maybe you need to go and follow South Adelaide, which team do you follow anyway?

For those that see the 2's every week, how is Sam Heinjus going at the moment? Thought he might be a worthwhile option up forward, even as a forward pocket?

[holden78]

Just not ready yet , his game against Glenelg showed hes not ready for combat with bigger bodies and faster ball movement .

Mr. Fuller is starting to lose the plot , we at H 78 recommend you change that superfluous name , even if its actually your real one ! . Eagles get to play with a lad who is exactly what we are missing , so lets enjoy 1 game with Bernie . Eagles by 15 pts.

[Thiele]

Lobbe dropped by the Power must be a chance to come in for West

[westies sarge]

apparently grocke is an out for the eagles, in hospital on a drip due to a spider bite........can anyone confirm this????

[Aerie]

He is now out of hospital according to Adelaide Now. It wasn't Thiele was it?

[Big Phil]

Agree he looked a bit out of his depth rucking that day, but at only 193cm that was a pretty tough ask. Thought he might have been worth another game in other positions.
