Credit where credit is due. Eagles put on an unbelievable amount of pressure.
That forward line press is very impressive. I'd like to see it get challenged by a team like Geelong or collingwood though.
Eagles need to be sure not to rely on that though. It's really good. But it will get found out. Just like all game plans do eventually.
Injuries are hurting us but that's no excuse. We were second to the ball all game.
I do think though that ballantyne could have had a big impact in that game though. His speed and ability to get through tackles and break lines is awesome. As well as his tackling pressure. He could have really lifted the side I think.
Very frustrating to see another season go out the window in 2 weeks. Let's face it if you don't finish top 2 or at least top 4 it makes it near impossible to make it deep into the finals. And to make top 4 you can only afford a couple of losses for the season. We already have three. Very disappointing given the potential at the start of the season.
But I'll stay faithful. Can be a tough life sometimes haha

I'm not expecting to win against the pies, but I'm excited to see that maybe the Eagles will be able to give them something to think about.

It was Essendon, Freo, bulldogs and collingwood.
And they were saying how difficult a run it is, and to see if the eagles have improved from last year they would have to win at least 1 of those.
I wonder if they think we've improved
I guess the pies game coudln't have come up and a better time.

Sure you have to protect the players but most are on 6 figure salaries for doing something they love - I reckon they're being looked after just fine without turning the sport into a glorified version of basketball.

Is that really a necessary comment mate?
Yes eagles are playing much better than freo at the moment, but you dont have to make comments about every game!!
Do you see any posts last year about eagles getting the spoon? I doubt it - freo fans dont care about how the eagles are going!
