If you’d like to listen to our commentary while you enjoy a replay of tonight’s epic, it’s now live on Spreaker!

Listen, scrub through, skip to whichever part you like. UTBC.

We need to make like Clive and sue the fu** out QLD for these shitty grounds

Sue the AFL for lack of duty of care to the players. This fixturing is irresponsible.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Despite the miss, Kelly has been a beast.

Flying is close our best player now, can do things others aren't capable of.

They've had as short a break as us (though not the condensed fixture). Be huge to pull this off

 

[KERRPOW]

Great quarter. But jesus, when did Kelly forget how to kick a goal?

2 relatively easy goals missed. We could be 4 goals up.

 

[wce4premiership]

Earlier on in the season yeah. Any injuries can be recovered. 2 weeks out from finals and it's a completely different story.

That's true, but we won 8 in a row, wouldn't have done that if we did the season differently and didn't have as long in Perth.

 

[EagleMutt]

Need fat gov,skinny gov is too injury prone

 

[Mulldogg]

How unlucky with injuries can one club have

Absolutely nothing to do with luck. It’s being asked to play 5 games in 19 days after having already played 10 games in the season. The players are physiologically not capable of sustaining that effort at high intensity without tearing hamstrings.

 

[Free Agent]

Schofield gonna have to step up for us again without Gov. One last go at it and his big shiny bald patch.

I thought finally footy gods we get a break, Gov comes back on, possessions straight away, nek minit

 

[KERRPOW]

I had an odd feeling about this game. Put $10 for us to win by 39 or under.

 

[Freight Train]

Can’t help but feel like even if we win this, was it for nothing?

Sure, gotta stay positive and we won in 2018 without players you’d assume you’d need to win a flag, but Gov is in my opinion our most important player. Barrass will cover Gov, but then who covers Barrass?

Frustrating.

 

[dajesmac]

3 weeks until our elimination final should we make it so fingers crossed Gov is back by then

 

[FreeTK]

Don't think McGovern has ever done a hammy before, probably the first time he has felt it. Might not be as bad as it looks.

Hoping it is a minor 21 dayer.

2 relatively easy goals missed. We could be 4 goals up.

Same with saints in 1st quarter

Ryan just seems to part the seas every time he is in a pack. Gun.

 

[Mulldogg]

Everyone had their turn.

No excuses.

Bit different having your turn between round 8 and 12 as opposed to rounds 14 to 17.

 

[ep2018]

Looked a bad one. He couldn't even straighten his leg.

Frustrating.

We beat Collingwood an Geelong without Gov.

The pre-finals bye, which ironically many posters have an irrational hate towards, will be the thing that allows us to make a decent charge in finals.

 

[ziad]

Fire up campaigners.

We're live, we're biased, we're defiant, we're the mother******* Eagles. Listen in and get involved.

delayed, what about us in the free world?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Can't play in the wet and don't stand up when its not on our terms.

What a quarter. Kelly the big addition in the offseason just drags us kicking and screaming forward. Ran awesome, Gaff great, Darling involved heavily.

2018, Nic Nat went down and ruined the mood for everyone but we pushed on and had a season defining win against the Pies. Forget Gov for now, it's all about the second half. Fire up campaigners.

 

[wce4premiership]

Favourite things to far;

Schofield tackle on the little bloke in front of goal who tried to go low.
Schofield bump.
Barrass back with the flight.
Barrass 4 seconds later smashing someone for the ground ball.
Duggan going hard over the ball and Nelson getting better in that quarter with the ground ball.
Ryan finding space when there was none.
Kelly being clean with handballs.
Gaff on his bike for the handball receives and breaking the lines.


Disliked;

Dropped marks from Rotham and fumbles.
JK and Brayshaw set shots, as well as Kelly's easy miss to end the half.
Gov hamstring. He's been good.

 

[Agent93]

Just noticed on the Allen mark review the goal line is in line with the back of the goal post padding.

 

[kaiserchief13]

It may actually work out well without McGovern. The defense may have been too tall

 

[FreeTK]

Bit different having your turn between round 8 and 12 as opposed to rounds 14 to 17.

Poor diddums.

 

[ziad]

High up not good. hears hoping

 

[Dark Sharks]

Pay the kings ransom for a 20 goal a year goal kicking mid...


Kicks 4 goals in 16 games and misses sodas from 20m in the clear.
