Would not get carried away with a win against a completely undermanned side but you can only play against what is there, so,
I still stand by my statement that Viney has no football IQ and the first half showed that but in the second half he did what he did back in late 21 and through out the finals series see ball get ball and pass it off no thinking plays a lot better and does hurt sides when he does this.
Brayshaw, not sure what is going on there, seems to be either not happy he's playing H/B or confidence is down seems to be second guessing what he wants to do with the ball.
McVee, getting better and better, Salam might spend some time at Casey if he keeps improving ( adds that Hunt speed ).
Tmac, not much competition against him and the ground suited him, still backup for me.
Chandler, well here is a surprise on how he has come on, makes good decisions always thinking of the next move, good goal sense.
Kossie, I am one who believes his best position is in the Forward line, not sure he can handle the heat in the middle on a regular basis.
JVR love the fact that he crashes the packs hard chases at full pace, but needs work on his marking, he need to keep his hands forward not bent backwards in trying to mark it causes to lack of strength in the hands, but still like him there.
Petty, bit at sea but the way they brought the ball in no wonder, when all your forwards fly at once you don't have much hope, the forward line still needs a lot of work, cannot fathom why when the ball is around the H/F line everyone stands still move for heavens sake open it up, learn to make holes, take your opponent out of the area. Is it worth persevering only if they change the set up.
Grundy, played against well not their best, but the best part of it for me, he got great game time and fitness time will only get better.
If Hibbo is injured, and after watching Casey Disco would have to come in and would be a good replacement.
One thing I was happy about there was several times that 2-3 players held back on the backline so when the eagles the ball chipped around in the backline, players were there, not to give them a chance to move it on quickly.
I would love to see a change in set up in the forward line, instead of all lining up like ducks in a row take the H/F's further out, same with pockets creates a hole, can give you multiple aiming points, radical I know but we don't have a real power marking forwards.
The second half the Eagles stated to run out of steam and class but like some of there young ones.
