Im bloody glad there using Thebarton!!! Is the Eagles raffle guy still going? "in the eagles raffle here"

[CUTTERMAN]

last time i went to Thebarton Oval i went on the bus and had a childs ticket Im flying in from Tassie on Sat and want to know is there a car park near the oval or is there plenty of parking in the streets around the oval?

TB, there's good, wide streets on the sthn side of Thebby Oval, I doubt there'll be a big crowd anyway.

Is the Eagles raffle guy still going? "in the eagles raffle here"

Yep...wears the same Ugg Boots to every game...He yells so bloody loud they divert Aircraft from Adelaide Airport
due his sonic boom

IMO, Strut will be pi55ed off, but the Eagles have had their measure for some time...Passador to kick a bag...

Eagles by 19 points...

First time I've been to an Eagles game and he hasn't been selling raffle tickets. He did sell me my budget though...

Saw him wandering around and said g'day aussie at one stage .
Perhaps Westies didnt want him selling raffle tickets .Or we didnt have any prizes

wish it was on a sunday so i could go. love the games at Thebby. Massive game for Eagles a must win to put us back in the mix.

This promises to be a great clash.

Eagles slowly getting back to their optimum form, and Sturt angry after an inappropriate loss at home to the Brilliant Bays.

Sturt have not beaten the Eagles since Unley in 2003. Will this change on Saturday? I say we are the best going around and will win by 34 points.

Go U Blues!

Eagles by 32 points, can just see the Eagles firing up to play Sturt's hoodoo side.

last week the sp tip was 39 points (only 54 points out)....the big question is how close will sp get this week with his tip ?

Interesting to see Paynter named. I think this will be his debut if he makes the cut??

Possible father/son for the Crows??

sure will be his debut, has been on fire in the 2's the last few weeks, has been BOG in the last 2 games

Good to see Robbie Fiacchi making another comeback after the best part of 2 years out with injury. Good luck to him.

Salter named at Full Back shows how important and dangerous the coaching staff think Chambers is. Fuller is still working on a solid back line, naming Schwarze and Jarrad on the half back flanks and removing McKenzie from the midfield to hold down Centre Half Back.

Whether the Eagles have a strong enough midfield and forward line to allow these players to be used in the back half all the time remains to be seen. I do think it is a good thing that the coaching staff are trying these things. Treeby into the centre has worked well. There is some talent in the reserves and a couple still to come back though injury. I think we have the talent to beat Sturt and will need to be at our best to beat them.

The Torrens guernsey looks fantastic and great to see Hills allowed their logo to only take up a small part of the guernsey AFL style leaving the sash free of any desicration.
Well done to all involved, I want one!
Are they being Ebayed?
