The home side shot out of the blocks early with a quick goal to young Denmead, within the opening minute, followed by long goals to both Brady Dawe and Pat Levicki.

The Eagles registered their first major of the night with a classy long goal to Nick Hayes, tucked deep in the south-western pocket, hard up against the boundary line.

After controlling the opening 18 minutes of play, the Redlegs conceded the last 4 goals of the term, including a magnificent running goal to impressive youngster Jack Gaffney, to enter the first change trailing by 12 points...

The second started off with an early goal to Roosters recruit Lewis Johnston, before being answered immediately back by with a second impressive goal to Eagles utility Hick Hayes.

Newly appointed Legs Co-Captain Jace Bode found himself drifting down the field to become the second defender to kick a major for the home side, joining Levicki's opening term goal.

The lead chopped and changed in the opening ten minutes before the Redlegs slotted back-to-back goals, including an impressive long set shot by Johnston, for his second of the night.

The next ten minutes of play saw the ball move back and forth between the two sides' fifty metre arcs with Johnstons second major giving the home side a slender 4 point lead they took into the main change.

The third term started at as a real arm wrestle, taking five and a half minutes for the first major to be kicked. Impressive young Indigenous talent Nick Yarran pounced on a defensive error from the Redlegs to kick his first on the night.

The Legs then answered back with four majors in succession with goals to Persinos, Cachia and an impressive second goals to youngsters Brayden Denmead and Peter Bampton.

Against the flow of play, ill-discipline from Jaryd Cachia allowed the Eagles to peg one back with a second, from the goal square following back-to-back 25m penalties, to youngster Jack Gaffney.

The home side showed more ascendency in the third term, taking control and extended their lead to 21 points going into the final change.

North defeated West by 4 points in a pretty ordinary game. West had a lot out. Not sure how many North had out.

I think North are going to be a very defensive side judging by tonight's effort.

Don't like the out of bounds rule and looked like the players, umpires and spectators were totally confused by it.

Liked the look of young Pillion for West

After the Eagles kicked the opening goal of the term though Essendon recruit Nick O'Brien, the home side responded with 3 goals within five minutes, including a third to Johnston and firsts for Wilson and Jefferies.

Extending their lead to a game high 32 points at the 11 minute mark, the home side took their foot off the pedal slightly, cruising to a comfortable 5 goal win in their last trial game for the summer.

The remaining 15 minutes of the contest was somewhat of a stale mate with skill level dropping away and the intensity at the contest before young Davin Ferreria kicked an impressive long goal just into time on.

While the Redlegs were victorious to the tune of 37 points, both coaches would have had elements of their respective performances they were both impressed and disappointed in.

As already said, North beat West by about 4 points in an error-riddled game. North were hard at it and seemed to have close to their best side, while West still had a lot out and played several inexperienced players.

On the other hand, North only played 21 and kept to 50 interchanges, while West had 25 and unlimited interchanges.

I didn't take much notice of North, but Craig and Barnes were good IMO.

For West, Hardy was good at full back, along with Haysman and Tuck.

A very ordinary, defensive game. Notth looked better structured than last year, but might still have a way to go.

West are in danger of a slow start unless several of their absent players teturn quickly.

Sturt beat West by about 9 goals. West were still well
below full strength but were very, very poor.

Hard to gauge Sturt. Skill level was good, but they only kicked away in the last quarter against a very depleted West outfit.

No positives for West, they were terrible.

Fridays night game Was Wundke injured im not sure he played the entire game .
What I saw in fridays night and i did leave the last two minutes was a lot better than what I saw last week. I left the norwood game even earlier that was my first trip to footy since my accident . And my head was hurting this week a hoodie kept the cold out
Not certain how strong that North side was . What I did think they are trying to play some form of Port Power footy . Their first quarter was really over defensive while the Eagles did attack more than north .From my view the last two weeks Eagles are getting the running game going .
Young Yarran is still getting there he is very young and he was knocked about at one stage .
Best I can see it was a trial and trials dont count .

Good point about the defensive style, micky.

West have played North and Sturt the last two weeks and the 2 new AFL coaches have certainly brought a highly defensive pressing style.

How many best 21 players will come in for the Bloods for next Saturday, Lee?

Is your form in the trial games a concern for Rubbers?

Thanks Lee I missed the Eagles Sturt game
But I do think North were trying a very AFL style

Possibly some of most of Webb, Fielke, Middleton, Schmidt, Klemke, Caire.

I can't speak for Mark, but if you ask if I'm concerned about our trial form, the answer's yes.

trials mean nothing......can you remember last years trial games ?
