STRENGTHS
Experience is something the Eagles have on their side as many of their top players have finals, premiership and international experience.
The Eagles were once again devastating around the field against the Hawks with their pace and hard running. Without sounding like a broken record a hard running Eagles side is hard to stop when in full flight.
POTENTIAL WEAKNESSES
This weekend the Eagles would be seen as having no real weakness against the less experienced Ottawa side.
But even so, the Eagles need to head to the capital with a respect for their opposition and be well prepared to play their new style of football.
AT THE SELECTION TABLE
With so many players starting to perform on field and injured players returning to the team, coach Aaron Falcioni is in a tough position this weekend.
So many players will be keen to keep their form going, though this is a great opportunity for Falcioni to blood his new talent.
DANGERMAN
Aaron Falcioni: Last week Falcioni found some amazing form in the forward line. He provided a great option up forward with some excellent contested marks, he also finished with 6 goals.
IT'S NOT GENERALLY KNOWN...
