Round 18 Preview: Derby Redux


Today the Eagles have the opportunity to win both Derbies in a season, a feat not achieved since 2005. Honestly though, this statistical-emotional accomplishment pales in comparison to what is really at stake.

A win today is pivotal in our hopes of climbing into a top 4 position to secure the double chance. Carlton’s win last night makes it even more vital that we do the job today.

And do it we should. We are undoubtedly the superior team. Better game plan, more consistent, healthier and most importantly we have a less insane coach. 

The Dockers are still without Sandi, whilst Kerr is still sore. Very sore.

Freo had a good win last week whilst we blew it against the Saints. Given the form line of these two teams, that sets us up nicely.

I don’t have much more to add. I could go on and on about Freo, how pathetic their history has been, what a pain in the arse Ballantyne is, what a pain in the arse Pavlich is, what a pain in the arse Crowley is...etc. etc.

 But I’m above that. Well, not really. I'll save it for the recap.

Let’s just get it done.
