Damien Bowles. Photo courtesy Michael VettasEast Coast were nowhere near the coordinated outfit they will need to be to progress all the way in September. Whilst they are already guaranteed a finals berth, a huge improvement is required if they want to make an impact like they did in 2009. In round 14 at Henson Park on Sunday, the Eagles came up against Western Suburbs, only to be soundly beaten by 44 points. It is highly possible that these two teams will meet again sometime in the finals, so one can only hope the lessons that were there to be learned have sunk in.

 

Although the first and last quarters were reasonably tight, the second and third were lamentable. The usually dominant midfield seemed flat and disorganised with the Magpies too quick for them, leaving the Eagles second to the ball on far too many occasions. Up forward, Jamie Vlatko and Peter Dugmore were well held and the usual avenues to goal had suddenly dried up. The all important pin point delivery of the football to a player further afield was missing, handballs were misdirected and accountability had gone out the window.

 

One who stood tall however was Damien Bowles (pictured) who, following a nasty cut to his chin, re emerged after half time bandaged up like an Egyptian mummy. It seemed to spur him on however as besides taking the selectors’ vote as best player, he took the mark of the day right in front of the grandstand.  Others to do well included Steve Merkel and Jack Dimery.

 

 

 

All clubs have a scheduled bye next week, with East Coast returning to action at Bruce Purser Reserve on Saturday July 31st when they meet North Shore at 2.10pm in yet another crucial game which will be critical in determining the make up of the final five.

An undermanned Div One side fought gallantly, but despite holding Wests to just one goal in the second half, paid the price for a poor first two quarters. Darren Chapman, for the second successive week took the honours as East Coast’s best player.

The only game at Bruce Purser Reserve this weekend was in Third Division with the Cronulla based Southern Power arriving at the ground fully expecting a tough game. And they certainly got one. The Eagles took it right up to the second placed Power and but for a poor third quarter, may well have taken the honours. Brent Trewin and Ben Hynes were up there in the best.

After a tight first half, the Premier Cup Colts drew away from a persistent Magpie outfit to eventually win by 54 points. Tasmanian recruit, Dominic Killworth demonstrated the benefit of a few First Grade games to show his best form of the season.


Western Suburbs     1.3      4.4      5.4       7.5 (47)

The U/18 Challenge Cup boys ventured to Rosedale for a clash which would go a long way in determining finishing positions on the ladder for these two teams. The Eagles came away with an excellent 48 point win.
