MICK'S PICK - 10th LAST YEAR - 10th
MICK'S COMMENTS - Much the same as last year for the Eagles in '99. They have lost that spark that they had to win the premiership in '96 and I can't see them finding it again. They conceded 20 points a game last year and their attack faltered more than once. Craig Field really has to come out of the wilderness this year, while stayers like Toovey, Hill and Kosef really need to pep up the rest of the team. Look out for youngster Andrew Frew and Alf Duncan, the try scoring machine of last year.
