Yep, I’ve basically been continuing to ignore that Matt Flynn has done absolutely nothing for us so far

Hoping he will give Baz a chop out once in a while.... but if he leads the Beagles to the finals I won't be unhappy

“His knee has degenerated”: Worrying health reports emerge about Eagles skipper Allen
“He's probably got a knee of someone in their late 30s, early 40s.”

Bit concerning if true about Allen's knee

Rehashed issue from mid last season absolutely nothing new here, he’s just recycling old, known news for clicks. Disregard.“His knee has degenerated”: Worrying health reports emerge about Eagles skipper Allen

Im sure it will be managed enough during his career.“His knee has degenerated”: Worrying health reports emerge about Eagles skipper Allen

Didn't Nick Riewoldt have degenerative knees also?
Its more of an issue post footy career i would imagine.
Josh Kennedy had one from about the same age as Allen. I assume all it means is Allen has to play FF and not CHF, just like Kennedy did.

Oscar will be ok. Just means he will be on a gopher in his 50s instead of his 80s.

Apparently Duggo's knee is the same, and has been for a while now. He played alright last year
Priddis has the same issue in 2010 and went on to play 7 more years so its not end of the world stuff.
Also as mentioned JK had same issue at the age of 25/26.

To be fair, he was BoG in preseason (admittedly against our own players) and then his season was ruined through injury. I’d still be willing to give him a proper go if he gets a good preseason in

Training reports from the club:
www.westcoasteagles.com.au
and The West:
Not too much to note, other than Jack Graham making his first appearance, as well as Matt Flynn returning early.
Ahead of Monday's return date for 5th+ year players, it leaves Dom Sheed, Tim Kelly and Jack Petruccelle as the only players who haven't returned to training earlier than required.

Young Eagles put in the work during a solid session on Friday

All 3 have injury queries, I believe.Training reports from the club:

Didn't Petch go to Qatar?

With Oscar and Bazzo too.
Hopefully it works as well as it did for McGovern and Yeo last year.
Do not discount Jack Williams to fight hard over the summer to be our No 1 ruck in 2025.
Yeah exactly, he’s cut from the same cloth as Hardie and Sumich, there is a reason why they don’t reach the main headlines , because most of the things they say is bull shit.
Pretty sure they are all besties too, as if Vlahos says something outlandish on SEN, hardie follows it up on TAB and sumich does the same on 91.3

Something I really like about Baker is his positivity. Every time I see a pic of him or a video he always looks or sounds upbeat.

Agree. Be interesting to know if there was a story behind the early commitment to trade for him.
All a bit too easy to just to parrot the (incorrect) ’Baker for 3’ line. There might have been more to it.

Baker for 3? It was Baker for 14? i haven’t seen anyone say it was Baker for 3.
