Solid win again today against a very poor side.

Looked shaky in the first quarter but after quarter time we were well in control and got a great % booster with the final margin of 76 points.

Geez WCE are woeful.

Good win, love that we’ve been sufficiently aggressive at the contest and prepared to pick a fight two weeks in a row. Keep that up across the next fortnight, get some wins and I think we are right in the thick of it.

Interesting that we lost clearances 26-36, including centre clearances 5-12.

Here’s a plus, we knocked the bombers out of the 8 again , if only it was the last round.

Bont only 16 disposals but 3 goals and 8 tackles

22 pressure acts and 8 score involvements.

Clearly injured and still did the one percenters.

Well, I got my wish today - REDEMPTION! That was a very solid team effort. That was probably the best game English has played for us. He did it all today.
Williams, Khamis, Bramble, JJ, Jones, Dale, Duryea all had good games

Treloar was everywhere. Naughton was manic in his attack on the ball. The is a lot to look forward to this year

Had to leave in the 3rd to get to the NBL. I really thought it was quite a boring game. Funnily enough I don't think we played well but won by such a huge amount?

Isn't Marra inconsistent? So much talent but that first shot at goal where he didn't even make the distance is hard to justify.
I can't wait until he starts stringing a few good games together because he will light up the competition.

Number 7 for WCE wore him like a clove in the Centre, didn't let him near the ball

His marking is really good no problem but yes once he gets his goal kicking going he will be a challenge for a lot of defences out there.

I?m catching up on the replay and I?m up to half time. I?m super impressed with West, I think he?ll be considered an A grader by year end.

Reuben Ginbey number 7 for the Eagles.

Wasn't the greatest game from The Bont but was still very important. Kicked 3 goals as well.

Macrae took a decent share of centre bounces and we never really looked like winning a clearance when he was in there. I can understand what the selectors were thinking when we saw Harmes picked ahead of him (even if his one game was terrible)

I think the experiment of taking Bont out of the middle changed all the players roles in the middle and non of them adjusted to it.
We can’t just blame Macrae when no one else stepped up either.
