News Insightful and Inciteful - 2022 Media Thread

Good thing that listener asked that question because there wasn’t a lot of other juicy info coming out of that session.

The club’s in great shape, people have forgotten about how bad we had it in 2022 and just focused on results, Nisbett’s got a few good years left in him, etc etc.

Paul Fitzpatrick was on the Mark Duffield SEN show this morning.

In response to a question from a listener (might have been me) on whether Simpson was contracted to 2024 or 2025 it was unequivocally answered as 2025

As an aside, thought Fitzpatrick was thoroughly uninspiring from the outset - right from fumbling through his very first question

I suggest they have lost a bit of revenue over the last year or so

And apparently we are aiming for a resurgence into the finals next year also !

Probably at the expense on getting games into the next generation.

I wonder if we re-rookie Winder, if we'll finally get that draft video.

That’s harsh - skills sessions haven’t started yet.

Obviously he’s a highly successful lawyer and I’m sure he knows how to chair a board, but they really should have got someone with younger with a bit more energy (not that the chair really does anything?)

Good day Eagles supporters.

I'm an American footy fan and podcaster (A Yank on the Footy). I have been following the game since 2016, and footy has become my sole sports focus.

I've had a small thread in the podcast section of Big Footy for a few years. While we are mired in the offseason, I am working to set up some discussions with supporters that want to discuss their most memorable game. If you're interested, please consider reaching out to me at ayankonthefooty@gmail.com. My first episode of this series (recalling a game from 1973) is out now.

Cheers,
Craig Wessels

Yes. But hopefully not in Sydney colours.

From Bunga to Chesser: Grading Eagles’ first-round record

West Coast have two first-round selections on Monday night in one of their strongest draft hands in recent memory. But how strong is their track record when it comes to utilising early picks?

will be remembered more for his time at Port Adelaide than West Coast. Credit: Will Russell/The Slattery Media Group
Almost forgotten by Eagles fans, Ebert was a good midfielder in his time at West Coast. Homesickness got the best of him and he was traded to Port Adelaide at the end of the 2011 season where he would be one of their best over the next nine years. West Coast got picks 28 and 49 in the deal, which really can’t justify a first-rounder

Mitch Brown never reached his potential. Credit: Daniel Carson/AFL Media

A promising key position player, Brown showed potential as both a forward and backman but injury and form meant he was in and out of the team over his decade there. In the end, he tried to get back to Victoria, before being offered a contract by the Eagles. He was then told there wasn’t room for him when the Eagles surprising secured Hawthorn superstar Sam Mitchell. Brown would return to Victoria and play amateur football the next year.

Still a much better result than Brown.
