Jack Hayes dropped the easiest chest mark 30m out directly in front which would’ve put Eagles 5 goals up in the 2nd. As it turned out, North went down the other end and scored a goal. Then another straight after and from there an arm wrestle. Neither team took their opportunities with the breeze in the 2nd half - both defences outstanding. In the end, Sinor showed his character and kicked the winning goal and the Eagles held on.
A really important win. Rowland with the Bob Quinn medal well deserved.

Doubt it as they ended with 33 and it wasn't there a hell of a lot in the last.

After the cheats hit the front by a point, less than 5 minutes in the last I thought they would have gone on with it. They had a stack of 50 metre entries in the last quarter as per the stats referred to earlier. Subsequent easy misses from Allmond & Barns, along with our defence kept us in it until Joey kicked truly a difficult kick into the wind.
To then hit the front with only a couple of minutes left showed plenty of ticker.
As for the peanuts trying to fight after the game, I'd blame the bearded drunk North supporter whom I will refer to as ****. He left after the initial fracas, diffused well by a supporter stepping in. Incredibly the **** came back 5 minutes later to have a go, this time at a digger wearing his medals. All class from the ****.

Like North did in the third quarter, our defence was resolute and pressure on the ball carrier intense. Eagles bombed the ball forward with little system too often in the third quarter and played into North's hands. Was risky not playing Redden against North's behemoths and their on ballers got silver service. Lonergan with his big body would have been handy. Liked the look of Hilder for North.
Ugly fracas at the end of the game on the scoreboard hill. Was a bit of banter during the game but nothing out of the ordinary. Two bearded North supporters, obviously disappointed at the loss and possibly reacting to celebrating Eagles supporters stormed over and there was physical grappling and a lot of vile language. Got sorted but to come back 3-4 mins later and want to continue it was uncalled for.
Not the first time this has happened at this spot in the past few years between these two clubs. Security showed little, if any presence.
Hats off to Surjan and his players for attending Eagles' presentations.
Hats off to Christine Williams (Eagles president/chairperson) who attended to an obnoxious and inebriated patron who was ejected from the clubrooms by security after wanting to fight. He was sitting on the footpath in disarray with Christine tending to him as I left. I had never seen the guy before so don't know his connections to either club.

Troy played on ball and I thought played well. For team balance, I think it’s important he plays more time up the field than down forward, so good signs.
Daniel probably had his quietest game up forward. Should’ve kicked a normal drop punt, 40m out, 45 degree angle, but elected his usual kick around the body from a set shot and kicked out on the full. As good as he is around the body, there comes a distance when the percentages aren’t in your favour for this type of kick. I presume he got through the full game?
So far so good for these two though.
