The East Coast Eagles travelled out to Olds Park to take on the St. George Dragons for round 2 of the Sydney AFL 2010. On a hot day and in conditions more suited to playing football in the outback of Australia, the Eagles got off to a solid start kicking 5 goals to 1 in the 1st quarter. The conditions were taking a toll with the Eagles losing 4 players for the game due to injuries sustained in the 1st quarter. Glenn Garner was injured in the warm up and had to be replaced in the selected side by Darren Chapman. Kieran McRedmond injured his hamstring early, Mike Beardsley limped off with a groin injury and big Anthony Stubbs received a nasty kick to his shin leaving the Eagles with only 1 on the bench for the remaining 3 quarters.

It's finally here! 199 days after the final siren sounded on the 2009 season, the first bounce of 2010 is only 4 more days away. The Eagles will play host to UNSW/ES and Holroyd-Parramatta throughout the day and four exciting matches of football are expected. Matches will culminate in the 2009 Grand Final Replay when the Eagles clash with the Bulldogs at 4.10pm. Also on the day, the 2009 Premiership Flag will be raised just prior to the senior match.
