POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs West Coast
Frustrating game but.... Eagles went in with a plan to clog up the game and contest We ground it out despite some poor umpiring and lots of fumbles Our tackle numbers were great and we pressured them all game We worked our way through it and did what good teams do - strangle them slowly when we're not playing well Our winning average at Optus Stadium dropped Grundy working his way into some good form Fwd line efficiency was good We are a much more flexible and unpredictable side now 4 points no injuries percentage boost away from home, move on.

Does Kade make the grade, or will it be Chandlermonium
First three rounds this year Chandler is ranked elite in the following categories: Goal Accuracy Goal Assists Score Involvements Tackles inside 50 Kick Efficiency Marks Ranking Points My mistake, its seven categories that he ranks elite for.

Does Kade make the grade, or will it be Chandlermonium
Some people should be embarrassed with their cringeworthy posts in this thread and lack of footy knowledge In the first three games this year Kade is ranked elite in 6 different categories according to greg Stafford. Outstanding young man who has played brilliantly in a very difficult role as a small forward.

What they are saying at Lathlain Park
In the past we have performed poorly in games like this. The other team has nothing to lose and we have often coasted. I would like to see a ruthlessness that becomes the norm for us.

Centre Bounce Attendances
Great work thanks! Maybe Sparrow has a licence to break up the centre pack to get separation for Oliver etc.

PREGAME: Rd 04 vs West Coast
Witherden, Shuey and McGovern out injured is going to really mess with their defensive set up so I am sure the coaches will plan around that. And that could be a smaller fwd line or maybe they will try to exploit the lack of defensive height in the Eagles backline? They don't really have too many talls to bring in. On last week's team: McGov 197cm Out Barass 197cm Hurn 187cm Gibney 189cm Cole 188cm Waterman 193cm Witherdan 188cm Out

Goal kicking accuracy 2023
Makes a big difference where the shots are taken from . Boundary, 50m line etc. Without any quantitative evidence to back it up it seems that we are attacking the goals more from the front and taking shots closer in. Clearly a focus or pre season. It seems contagious when players miss goals and the opposite appears true. Long may we have this accuracy.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Sydney
I am always intrigued by whether a coach is better off having his team play 'their' way or whether they should try to nullilfy the opponents game plan. I suspect the better you get the more you set out to play your own way. But I saw a flexibility this week that I have seen before. ie Petty on McCartin, dropping TMac (and Harmes?), sticking with Bowey, McVee and blooding JVR. Also Riv in centre bounces for a time plus our mixing up of fwd entries. And our set shot kicking - a huge pre-season focus - was something to behold.

Thank you to Claremont & East Fremantle
I have full faith in our recruiting team that when players want to go home we get very good deals in return. Unlike Bell end and Dumbdoro that hold up trade week by trying to get 5 future 1st round draft picks for a Viv Mitchie type

PREGAME: Rd 04 vs West Coast
Kudos to the coaching staff. They cop the heat when things don't go well but they have responded this year and mixed things up. Highest scoring team after 3 rounds and playing 3 of last years finalists. Our method of scoring has demonstrably changed and we are no longer as predictable. Including Petty as a defensive fwd on McCartin was a masterstroke. The Sydney game for me was the real test based on their record against us. We passed with flying colors. Go Dees
