5 goals off a wing, still the best grand final performance ever.

Yes it’s true
Mate I was 20 living in a share house with mates, what a day to be a West Aussie that was.
Gotta do it....

Wasn't called 'hook foot' for nothing.

Popped down to training this morning. Closed session so at times was hard to see but here's a few notes:
- No sign of Ryan, Darling or JWilliams.
- Ginbey, Bazzo and Baker made a brief appearance at the start of the session doing some handballing but went inside after that. Either Ginbey pulled up very sore from the intraclub on Friday or he's picked up a little injury - didn't really do any training on Monday either.
- The rest of the playing squad, except Naitanui who walked laps, then did a whole ground kicking drill after the warmup for about 20 minutes. Petch, LEdwards, Dewar, Barnett, Chesser, Allen, Duggan, Waterman all participated in this and looked fine.
- The group then split apart a bit, with all the rucks (BWilliams, Jamieson, Naitanui, Barnett) going onto the other oval and practising ruck work and kicking inside 50. Looked like Barnett in particular got a lot of practice and feedback from Nic Nat.
- Petch also moved to the second oval, practising some bodywork marking under a high ball, while LEdwards helped the rucks out by being a target inside 50. Meanwhile the rest of the group split into groups and completed some other drills.
- After that they moved onto about 20 mins of match sim, umpires were there too. Barnett took part in this and did a lot of ruck work against Jamieson. Williams played forward and Naitanui again didn't take part. Shuey ran laps.
- Chesser, Duggan, Allen (who kicked a couple of goals), Petch, LEdwards took part in this too. Seems like all of them are a good chance to play this Friday against Port.
- Jones lined up at HB during the match sim.
- Just reiterating what was written about him after last week's intraclub, but Yeo looks seriously good at the moment. Showed his strength when breaking out of tackles and fending off others, and also his burst power from stoppages. Really hope he stays injury-free.
- Hewett trained fully, so whatever happened yesterday with him leaving the track early is either very minor or nothing to worry about.

Never been a better kick on the run than him.
Never been a better player below their knees either.
Absolute legend.

I mean also kicked 111 in just his 3rd year, was our leading goal kicker in seven seasons including both premiership years so was a proper gun. Kicked over 500 in 150 games. Did have spells of inaccuracy so I do agree and sometimes made the easy look difficult. Eagles legend nonetheless

And the fact he nodded off when being put in a headlock by Danny Southern. Soft

I used to knock around with Sutho, before he got drafted to the Doggies, he actually had trained with WC for a while before he did his knee and then got overlooked, he was a hard Kent, always did heaps of boxing, wrestling, and his old man was hard as nails, ex army SAS
There is no shame on being choked out by Sutho, that’s on him.

I didn't say it was rational. But definitely a whipping boy at times.
Then he joined a cult. I think he goes by Mother Shabooboo now.
Yeah I think you're right. He's not the quickest guy around but he does try and do the right thing and tries to be constructive. I think with a bit more class and pace around him he'll be OK.
Langdon or Lamb? Langdon couldn't take a mark and Lamb kept getting caught. Like all whipping boys though they had value in hard work
Nah, got to get there Farang.
From memory he copped a lot more stick later in his career as Malthouse used him more as a decoy to take the opposition best defender out of the contest

Nah whipping boys didn’t come as a thing until Fraser Gehrig debuted and then he, Sumich and Jason Ball vied for the honours .
Shane bond was a good player in 94 and then was barely sighted again at the eagles completing his time with a pathetic ,lacklustre ,disinterested wafl grand final showing for east perth as he had already packed up to go back to Port.
