That's not a great Crows side,
I reckon the Wiggles have got this one, even without The Menzels!

Yep, Eagle byu plenty.

Ravens cooked

Looks like the Eagles benefit from the AFL integrity raffle this weekend.

[Hazydog]

Yep, a few outs for the Crows should see the Eags rocket into contention..and at $3.60 get in quick

Is there an obscure reason why this game has been scheduled head to head with the Clowns AFL game? The Eagles will miss out on all those big spending Clowns fans...

give em the cup now

So did I overestimate the Eags or underestimate the Crows? Or both.

As each season comes and goes I fear that the overall quality of the “real” clubs reduces..leaving half strength AFL Reserves teams clearly superior in quality.

Again will be interesting to see the attitude of the Crows ressies once the AFL minor round is complete and the A grade finished..

Last year they certainly had a real go at winning it. They thrashed Norwood in the qualifying final. They were clearly on top of North Adelaide until they lost Luke Pedlar with a hamstring injury and then without Pedlar just lost to Norwood. Of course, that is their problem, Pedlar was replaced by a country footballer. Pedlar this year has proven his worth at AFL level.

I was there and left early . Not going to attack anyone . Eagles are rebuilding . But they’ve recruited some players that weren’t up to SANFL standards.
No names one has gone back to Victoria he came to the eagles with big wraps but didn’t perform.
Imho and probably all eagles fans . The eagles need big bodied ruckman to help the ruck that is doing a good job .
Eagles need bigger bodied and taller key position players .
This game showed the eagles lacked height and body weight to put up any fight with the crows .
Crows and Port both played exactly to their game style worked perfectly .

Hopefully the Eagles can recover and actually play better football

Ravens tank at Prelim so they can go on holidays
