Training Pre-season Training 2017

[The Stid]

Michael Willson is in town, only a few photos up so far. I'm really liking the clash! The off centre Eagle head is slightly annoying though. More portraits have been uploaded here http://www.aflphotos.com.au/galleri...Portraits - West Coast Eagles&image_id=483433

Lambs had a growth spurt, he was listed at 193cm but is tad shorter than Tommy B and Mcinnis ( both around 198cm mark).

Obviously had his high heels on

 

[Suma Magic]

That Eagle head is way too far East.

 

[WCErevival]

Cripps looked like he was stoned.

Cripps looked like he was stoned.

Probably was.

 

[Suma Magic]

Shep looked the same height as Rotham and Gorter.

You're right, he's so tall now: look how much bigger he is than Nic

Crippa looks stoned, tired, or as if Cox was up to his usual tennis ball antics again.

Edit: sorry WCErevival, didn't see your comment until after I posted this.

Late growth spurt.

I think it's just giving the appearance of being off centre. If you take the whole logo as one and don't focus on the beak, I'm pretty sure it's centred

Thought the same but then i saw Shep and few others looking the same so I figured they'd been in the pool before the shoots.

Yeah, I know. If the top bit of the head didn't extend back so far they could shift it to make it look better or you know, just update the logo to a mix of old and current.

 

[former lurker]

Sounds to me like you fit in perfectly around here.

Cheers mate, I hope I can maintain the standard.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Agree ..... he was more the wolf!

Sheppard somewhat plays like McKenna. outrageous call?

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Looking forward to seeing Dom at his best, reversing out of packs with the footy!

one of the greatest at getting his arms up to avoid and handball out of a tackle

He's a bit behind McKenna. Bluey was a great reader of the play, he looked casual as it all came easy to him. Used his body and the ball well, hardly ever wasted a possession and was rarely beaten. Shep's in his 8th year ...... I don't think he is going to get near Bluey as a player.....he was a champion from day one!

Oh please no no no I never said he was better than Bluey. I remember him. Shep though plays a little like him reading the play and coming across with a spoil, recently has rarely lost one on ones and his possessions are getting better.

He needs to improve below his knees and play with a bit more composure. I rate him though!

But Bluey was great at reading what to do when he got the ball - something that Sheppard is not so good at.

 

[Keys]

McKenna was one of the greatest ever halfbacks in the AFL and was one of the first to play as a rebounding defender that set up forward attacks

I like Shepp but he's a long way from matching bluey

 

[Biggie]

Bluey, a class act.

Shep not even a qtr the way there imo.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

I see glimpses and plays like when not necessarily means he's as good.

Sorry for offending people but I agree Bluey was an out and out superstar and there's not much of a chance he ever gets dislodged from HBF in our greatest ever team.

Sheppard will only be 26 this year, still plenty of time for him to dislodge .

Win a flag and a Normsmith (he is mr sheptember after all) and the gap is bridged.

Cards for anyone comparing Sheppard and McKenna pls mods
