South clearly came to play and one telling thing I noticed was the amount of talk from the South players - encouragement to their teammates, telling others to get into position, etc ... which I thought showed how switched on they were. The Eagles were quite the opposite, which is concerning as that is two games in a row where we have been beaten by teams in a similar position on the ladder that have wanted it more than us.
The 18 point margin made it look a lot better for us than what it felt, yet we had our chances in the last to make it even closer.
Regarding Menzel, he was dropped after a 3 possession game against Centrals in a game where it rained for 75% of the time. He was replaced by Firns, who had a 3 possession game yesterday.
To be honest I think one of our big issues is keeping the ball in our forward line. For a lot of the game against Centrals, we had our 3 talls (Menzel, Cameron, Pearce) with no smalls around them. As soon as the ball went to ground, the opposition were able to clear it.
In 2020 and 2021 we had Rowe and Stengle respectively in there (along with others). In 2022 it was Menzel or bust - he ended up as Ken Farmer Medallist, but if he didn't mark it, the ball would generally be cleared out easily. This year our smalls seem to be going too far up the ground. We just need one to sit next to our tall forwards the whole time.

Agreed. We just couldn't keep the ball in our forward area and South's transition from defence to attack was good.
Very disappointing effort against an under- manned South who looked like they wanted it more.
With North, Port and Norwood winning as well, the finals will be a tough ask for the Eagles and a fight to avoid the wooden spoon is not out of the question either. Please prove me wrong Eagles!
