Rnd 15 - Sturt v Eagles @ House Brothers (Unley) Sat 11/7

[Mickyj]

Very good named side. Should be too strong for Sturt, provided the same effort and intensity that was displayed after quarter time last week is on show again for the full game Saturday.

Umm you reckon the effort showed agaisnt the 2nd bottom team is enough to beat a team that currently sit 3rd and have won 4 times the games that Port have.....

Interesting....

Umm, yes I do.

I think if the Eagles play to the best of their ability they would beat Sturt playing to the best of their ability - if you know what I mean...

Predictions and talk doesn't mean much though...

Fair enough, just that I rate Sturt as a decent side at that they aren't sitting 3rd without good reason. Play on...

IMHO .I think if the weather was fine and the ground hard .sturt's playing style would be favoured as shown last game at woodville.
Wet muddy ground odds might just start to turn against sturt .

Ground should be wet under foot as it has been dripping pretty much all day.

R. Fuller is definitely not afraid to play the youngsters......just looking through the budget for this weekend I noticed the Eagles have seven teenagers named in their list, the most of any of the teams.

Really? 35 posts previewing the Norwood match (which was after the Central win)?
Then 52 posts previewing the South match after that debacle?

One thing i like about Fuller is he never complains about injuries like alot of other sides in the comp & he's not afraid of giving his youngsters a crack at the big time.
Alot of Eagles supporters are very critical of Fuller & if they knew anything about footy they'd realise this bloke has done plenty of good things for their club over the years & has given alot of youngsters a taste of SANFL footy which holds the kids & the club in good stead for the future.

A lot of the eagles supporters I know are supportive of fuller, and with selections the way they are, I think he can get us over the line this week.

I think you need to take your eye patch off mate.

I am not suggesting for a minute the Eagles can't knock Sturt off tomorrow, in fact this game worries me slightly and the WWT side looks very strong on paper.

BUT, to suggest the Eagles best (a side who have drawn and lost to West Adelaide, been thumped at home by Norwood and struggled to get over the second to bottom Magpies even with Burton in your side) will be too good for Sturts' best (the third ranked side, with the best backline in the comp, who have brushed every club in the competition aside easily save for North & Glenelg) is just plain parochialism.

Should be a great contest but I would contend if Sturt play to their best, they will come out on top.

P.S. Might I add that in nearly two seasons of footy, Sturt have lost just twice at Unley Oval, once by nine points and the other by three to bogey sides Glenelg & North respectively.

I would have thought the Eags might just have been that unpickable bogey side to sturt, 37-12 with multiple finals wins including prelim finals might have just have stuck in someones nostrils???

[eddie eagle]

Can't see any Blues fans underestimating them on here, I am certainly not.

I also don't think they are at full strength either. I am mighty glad Treeby and Powell are not in the side, along with McKenzie and Inkster they are the four who always gave/give Sturt the most curry. Broadbent and Stewart would be considered big losses too and by the looks Shirley will be kept on ice in the event of a late Crows pull out.

Burton, Passador, P. Fiacchi and co. are players that can cause real damage.

Quietly confident but expecting a real tussle.

On the subject of curry, chefs of tandoori have cicca as celebrity chef. With his delivery of vindaloo, and lashings of tindaloo!!. Been a Banquet in any prelim you care to mention. Bring along plenty of raita, and mango chutney.
