5. Strengths and Weaknesses
The Eagles bate deep in midfield and bat deep with experience in there, they have the ability to outwork a lot of opponents through pure miles in the legs. When that midfield gets silver service from Nic Naitanui they become just about unstoppable.
Their intercept marking is elite and a major way they set-up to win the ball back. If there is a weakness it maybe comes from their lack of leg speed in midfield. They can be exposed on the outside at times and have been made to look slow by younger sleeker midfield groups.
