Round 17: Eagles v Adelaide - Saturday 23 July @ Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval

Eagles (2nd 10-3 58.39%) v Adelaide (4th 8-5 53.46%)
Saturday 23 July
Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval

Reserves (Eagles v Port): 11:10am
League: 2:10pm

The Eagles and Port Reserves make it a home and home this week, playing each other just a week after their last match. Meanwhile, the league side go from playing one AFL Reserves side to another. Both the Eagles and Crows are coming off shock losses. Who will shock themselves back to victory this week?

Adelaide don't like the hard stuff, the eagles will keep the ball in tight & have it physical & that'll be enough, eagles by 4 goals

For the Crows Fans

And the Eagles fans

This could be close. Adelaide get Seedsman and McKay which gives them some pace.
If the Eagles play like last week they will lose, if they are hard at the ball they should win by a few goals.

Who does the artwork Phil ?

Mackay was reported on channel 7 news last night to be the travelling emergency for the afl

Who does the artwork Phil ?

Re the above - Some Crows, some SANFL, some me.
The Life FM stats sheets are all mine (hence why they don't look as good).

Fair enough , was hoping you weren't doing it to promote The Crows. I think they look similar , your ones are just as good.

Crowd for this one ? Good win by the Eagles and certainly premiership favorites.

Eagles more desperate & harder at it than the crows, that was the main difference....... the umpires wore black armbands, does anyone know who it was for?

Condolences to whom it concerns

Eagles were harder at the ball backed each other and ran with the ball .
Crows were bigger stronger but couldn't play that style of footy ,
Not enough Eagles players drafted by the crows

They did mention during the Glenelg vs Norwood game on tele about it being a former umpire, can't quite recall who it was now.

edit: Ron Skennett (sp?), former field umpire and Eagles board member. Just checked the coverage.

His name was Ron Stennett

from next year should Adelaide play the Eagles for the Bill Sanders medal/cup ?

I has thought something similar, the inaugural chairman of both clubs ... Sanders Shield?

Well if Bill is happy for it, then do it & that is a promotion in itself

BTW, the Eagles do the family feel thing very well.
The jumpy castle, tents and stuff all contribute to the spectacle.
