Good conditions today, so not getting carried away yet, next week will be a different challenge even against a seemingly weaker team in Brissie.
+ Waterman's quarter-time goal
+ Allen's stretching, sticky hands, mark inside 50
+ Barrass's high leaping mark
+ Duggan and Cole stepped up in defence
+ Midfield group of Naitanui, Yeo and Gaff crushed it. You could maybe even throw Sheed into that.
Neutral observation: Kelly was quite outside today but didn't kick amazingly well. No harm though, it was always going to take a bit to click.

Positives = About bloody time!!?
Good to see the lesser players in Jake, Oscar, Jones, even AhChee shining.
What made the difference-coaching, role changes, new players, new-found intent and pressure?
Where was all that before...and why?
Could get on a roll from here..
I liked the commentator saying it could be a WCE GF at Optus!!!!!!???
LOL..might be worth putting a long range bet on it?
Negatives - Darling, yeh kicked 2 goals or something, but he's just so wooden, robocop..maybe that's his role to free up JK, when they're not going up together-that's sooooo annoying. How many times they spoil each others grabs. I wonder about his IQ?
The hammies...but others come in...Cameron anyone?
The Swans were undermanned today, a couple of key players out...
Mullets and porno mo's...not sure if they're a positive or a negative?
Interesting with Shuey gone and Yeo picks up, gets off the leash more-did he get a rocket or is it how Simmo plays him..would like to see Yeo placed somewhere he can play like that all the time? (unless it's between the ears?)
Perhaps with WCE being such a frustrating enigma, we could adopt an INXS tune like Port,
I suggest "Mystify...mystify me???"

Only 3 guys didn't get a tackle today, Shepard, Kennedy and Duggan. That's a much better effort (and there are going to be guys each game who don't get tackles, but to have only 3 and it to be those 3 is great).
Disappointed about the hammies, Shuey looks less concern than JJ (when you pull yourself from the game at a break it is hopefully minor).
JJ was looking good, I guess Petch takes that spot unless Cameron is ready.
Waterman quickly becoming a favourite. The energy and mateship he brings is amazing (he celebrated Cripps' goal harder than his own, which is an indication of the guy he is). He shouldn't go out for a while (if at all) and is showing some teams that maybe he was worth a bid in his draft year!

Oscar reminds me of Nick Riewoldt.
if he's anything like Nick we'll be happy. Him getting at least 1 flag would be better though.

Nic Nat - did he have an opponent today? For some reason the commentators named his shadow 'Aliir Aliir'. Bit disrespectful I thought.
The real Big O. Not these fake Brisbane wannabes.
Jermaine Jones - has a crack and his pace will be an asset when we figure out how to use it
Muddy Jr - clearly displayed more effort on the field than in the barber's chair
Second half effort - great to see the boys come out after half time for once
-
Hamstrings - who needs them?
Skills - still rusty as *. Would like to see this tidied up.

Why the fck was Waterman out for Darling, Brander done way more than Darling so far this year.
I'm mystified by our current song tbh

Before today’s game, we had lost our last 3 v Sydney, and only won 3 out of the last 14.
nothing to get too excited about, job done, but gives us something to build on.

Treacy is another option to replace Jones. Would like to see him get a debut to see how he does.
+ Allen is ready to take over from JK.
+ Waterman needs to be that 3rd tall. Very effective today
+ Duggan was great
+ Midfield looked more cohesive. Almost like Shuey injury forced a reshuffle of roles that suited everyone more
+ NN more minutes. He was used perfectly today.
+ Nobody went to ground unnecessarily
- Shuey injury.
- JJ's injury
- Hurn, while not a bad game as such, was ineffective. Missing that intercept ability, the creativity by foot, that composure we've gotten used to.
Great to get a win. With Adelaide and Freo, followed by 2 home games in WA, we really should build some momentum.

The same excuse for every player on our list who hasn't made the grade in the last ten years. "Played out of position" It's a simple game, get footy, dispose of it efficiently, no excuses.
You might have something...that could explain all our poor performances, since we adopted that song!? The players cant take it seriously and the belief has gone out the door! Maybe they reverted to the old song today?

Injuries
Sydney are way understrenrgth and their poor kicking kept us alive early
Dwayne -give me a break
Sydney radio has us in as defending Premiers
+Ve
We gained some momentum and confidence (thats what was missing)
Kid, Kid, Kids
Signs of the old eagles tough across the board
PS - keen to see Brander continue to develop in a more confirdent side.

+ Yeo back to being the brutal man we know and love.
+ Oscar Allen is gonna be AA sooner rather than later and Waterman is a gun.
+ Cripps finally kicked a couple! He's been so crap lately it's easy to forget he's been a damn fine small forward the last few years. It'd be great if hits form again.
+
Cheers boys!
- Hamstrings. Hopefully Shuey's is just a twinge. He hasn't looked right the last few weeks and a rest might do him good anyway.

Very easy when you have a lead, but when was the last time we saw Gov take a mark on the wing or beyond? Happened today, Duggan chopped one off too, I believe Barrass did.
Defenders pressing as high as the wing just kills a team scrambling panicked kicks out of D50. We pick them off and go straight back inside. Makes such a difference when Gov isn’t sitting as far back as the back of the square.

Pressure and confidence held up today
JJ Waterman and Oscar were all great today

Hamstrings annoying particularly with a Derby coming up.

s**t, don't tell me we have to play the Lions again!!
Jake Waterman can fill the gap we’ve had since Lecca retired. Run with it.
Going to be a god send finishing the year in a prolonged period of dry weather.

Waterman's goal on quarter time.
I can't recall an Eagle slotting a longer range shot in recent memory.

Zero changes to that team...all looked hungry, much better. WA hub should see us top 4/5.
