Uncontested marks 46 to 28. You refuse to defend short kicks, then you are handing your opposition the control of play. We did this for the first 18 rounds this year, and it hurt us badly.

This is showing why the team that will win a Grand Final will always be the team that has done the hard yards to get there. We should have welcomed our draw, West Coast had it easy for a good part of the season and are now being found wanting. Starting to look like this year was more of a lost opportunity than we expected. That bad run from May to July took us out of finals calculations, with the record pressure teams, and we can play that way, have against Hawthorn we could have had a serious tilt at the flag even from outside the top 4.

After all that, only a 5 goal margin and some of the Hawks older players looking sore. Still a bit of a chance for the Eagles. Need to start
capitalising on their chances.

the eagles stopped the hemorrhaging in the second half of that qtr. but still have only kick 3 goals to half time
Still 5 goals is manageable.

They need to play this the way we did in 1994.

Win the arm wrestle this quarter to get the margin down to 3 goals. Then go to work in the last.

Natanui, Priddis, LeCras, Darling, Cripps, Kennedy, Masten, Sheed need to fire up.
