West vs Eagles Saturday May 5th

[bosvit]

Well the Bloods player I remember was Matt Davoren

Maybe he lied to the Bloods for tax purposes.......

[southern fan]

There are 2 Davorens. Mark and Matt. Mark played a handful of games. Matt played many. So possibly is Mark's son.

[bosvit]

How good a game did Gray have, he is a gun.

Brave mark in the third, was the start of our comeback, and Barber had a cracker I reckon, McGregor was dominant until Barber went to him. Was the only one that could stop him from marking everything that came near him.

Tippett continues to impress, looks like he can take a mark too. And how good was that smother by big Leo Clark in the last when the Eagles were going to clear, yet again...

It is great to see that the Bloods believe in themselves again.

I dont think this will be the last time we get to sing the club song....

Is it too early to get just a little excited...............nah

[bosvit]

The way things have gone over the last few years if we only win one or two more games...... I'm still excited

THis what Adelaidenow had on there website

SANFL: Boods stun Eagles

WEST Adelaide has produced a stunning upset over 2006 premier Woodville-West Torrens by clinging on for a four-point win at Broadspectrum Oval today. The Bloods defied the odds to hit the lead half-way through the final term and from there defended grimly to hold off the desperate Eagles, who have just one win in 2007.

Damian Cupido booted four goals for the Bloods as did Robbie Gray, who was a standout for best-on-ground with his creative play up forward.

Eagles forward Mark Passador kicked four for the visitors while Crows utility Ken McGregor made an encouraging comeback from injury.

[Blacky]

Can anyone confirm that Davoren in the Eagles reserves is the son of former West player Mark Davoren?

Not sure... But the Westies player was Mat Davoren

double t coorong seeing as you like to be pedantic

[gillies8]

Good 1 year dynasty Eagles

[Hondo]

Westies had numbers behind the ball all day and ran out of defence in numbers

Weed been watching the AFL?

Well done the Bloods, much better start to the season than most expected

[the tractor]

All I can say is 'Free the Big Willy!!!!!!!!!!'

[Strawb]

All I Can Say is BLACKY where is the rest of it i have been waiting and waiting and still no more we all want part 2

[once_were_warriors]

No 4 for westies , dominant takes a fantastic contested mark.

Saw patches of how The Eags played last year , however still way off the mark.

West looked ok ,have some rythym to them this year compared to the last few years

[redandblack]

No 4 is Matthew Barber, played a great game.

[once_were_warriors]

Is he a recruit or from Juniors?, bloody big junior if he is. A lot to like about the way he goes at the footy.

[oldfella]

Matthew Barber is 20 years old from Ainslie Football Club in the ACTFL. Matthew is a
very athletic 6 foot 4 key position player with plenty of courage and strong hands.

[once_were_warriors]

Whats his star sign Oldfella

Seriously looks ike a great pickup

[oldfella]

My quote from westies site recruit announcement

Was originally thought by supporters to be a development type player but has grab his opportunity and looks to have a very good future, agreed very good pickup - the entire back six is coming on with most of them being relative youngsters.
