Yarraville Seddon has put itself in a good position to attack the second half of the Western Football League division 1 season
The Eagles sit in third spot behind last year’s two grand finalists heading into the long weekend break.
Eagles coach Brad Julier said they were pretty happy with how it was tracking so far.
Both the sides losses have come to the sides above them on the ladder.
“We have set ourselves up,” he said. “We’re happy with where we’re sitting. We had chances in both games we lost and we’ve got work to be better in the back end.
“Hopefully we’ll get another crack at them again and get them.”
Julier said they had lapses in both those games when the opposition was able to capitalise and score on them during those periods.
He said they can’t afford to give up those periods where sides have run ons with good sides making them pay.
On Saturday, the Eagles were able to account for Point Cook Centrals.
The game was all but over at quarter time with the Eagles leading by 42 points.
With the lead in hand, the Eagles were tested more after quarter time but were still able to get the job done and win, 18.15 (123)-11.10 (76).
Julier said they got off to a flier before the Sharks made it a really good contest for the next three quarters.
He said it was good to get through unscathed on the injury front ahead of the bye.
Tyson Brazel kicked seven goals for the Eagles and was one of their best along with Akol Deng and Riley Anderson according to Julier.
There is now a competition wide bye this week for the long weekend.
Julier said it would be a good chance for them to freshen up before they face an improving Point Cook.
“They’ve been very competitive under Saade [Ghazi],” he said. “It’s taken a little while to gel.
“They will be tough to beat.”
Julier said things were tracking nicely with their reserves and under-18s having a strong season.”
