Round 5: Eagles v Glenelg - Saturday 13 May @ Maugham Thiem Hyundai Oval

Eagles v Glenelg
Saturday 13 May
Maugham Thiem Hyundai Oval

Reserves: 11:25am
League: 2:10pm

The Eagles back up in this split round with their second home of the round, hosting an improving Glenelg. Who will come away with the 2 points this week?

Win lose or draw this game will show how much Glenelg have improved since last season, hoping for a tiger victory however the Eagles are always hard to beat at home, I'll say the Eagles by 17 points

This could be the hardest team the Eagles have faced so far in the 2017 season
Hopefully the Eagles keep going like they have all season
Run and out muscling teams
This week Eagles kick straight for goals please

I think the Eagles will be too strong but if the Bays can play for 4 quarters like they did against Port and Sturt they are a real chance here. I cant see the Eagles fading away in the last quarter like Centrals and South but if the Tigers are within a couple of goals at the last change a rare win at Woodville would be on the cards.

Eagles league team unchanged this week

We're getting outclassed today but the umpiring today overall has no feel for the game, it's 9.6 to 4.3 as I type
This is why they lost control of the game

Can't argue about the umpires
Seconds umpires pAid holding the ball very very touchy frees to both seconds teams

the eagles radio call is interesting to say it nicely (not the stream call, the one here at ground)

There were some football followers suggesting the Eagles might slip this year they look as though they are after redemption from the last 2 seasons and are clearly the best side in the competition at the moment by a long way

Obviously you don't rate the Power reserves sb, they are miles ahead of all teams

I rate the power I am wondering about their trip to china taking
Most of their magpie players

I went today thinking it was going to be a close game needing to be enough in front of Glenelg . I was totally wrong no idea what happened to Glenelg wasn't a hard game Glenelg were out classed I guess
It could be said ex Glenelg players out shone their old team

The Eagles are the ONLY SIDE that will give a full strength Port a run for their money i meant that the Eagles are the best of the proper SANFL teams

They are probably the best real sanfl team, however as the situation is they will have to front all comers including the power reserves if they want to go top, as for the only side to give them a run for their money, I refer you to round 1 this year

Yes Bayman you did beat them and it was a great win but did they have 20 AFL listed players when you played them.We have them in 2 weeks and i fear it will be very ugly.

no mate, they only had 19 listed players that night, as for your team i think fitness is their major problem, they seem to get heavy legs too far out from the final siren

Didnt realise they had that many in when you played them makes your win even better be interesting to see how good the Eagles are this week with Port at Alberton.

yep, the Eagles are probably going to get them at the right time, i say that because some of their players will be in China so that may inconvenience them somewhat.....i'm happy we're playing on Friday night as i'm looking forward to watching this match live

Haven't heard it Phil
Maybe people don't like the Eagles trying to be more professional off the field
Who knows don't care really if that's all people have to complain about more boring than I am

Ok so what are you saying about the radio

And if you need to see what was said go on sanfl fans Facebook page
