Certified Legendary Thread The 'I've Got an Easton Wood' Appreciation Society.

[Freshwater]

I also believe Easton's captaincy was nearly overlooked with all the Bevo, Bob stuff. Bev is legendary, Bob not far behind, but Easton was the onfield leader when needed most, throughout the injury riddled year, and even had his own. But that didn't stop him from some of the bravest leaps into packs for mark and spoils I've ever seen. And once with the footy, takes the game on in his own way. He was the onfield leader through the greatest finals runs ever! and then throughout every thing that grand final week throws at them, then stood up as an almighty leader and player on the big day! This guy has become a legend at this mighty club.

His parents are both Olympians?

It must be disappointing that their son turned out to be just a football player...

We're working on it. It was a demonstration sport in 1956, no reason it can't make another appearance

Premiership captain no less.

Premiership captain no less.

Easton is captain of Western - fact.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

We're pretty blessed to not only have the best captain in the comp in Bob but also a very very good stand-in captain in Wood. Not to mention the likes of Wallis, Roughead and Bonts all have great leadership qualities.

When it comes to underrated players in the afl I think wood is top of the list.

 

[dogwatch]

Yet another bump* in celebration of Wood re-signing.
Debuted 2009 and started to show his erogeroniferic qualities after only 8 games (see OP).

* Absolutely definitely no double-entendre intended.

Out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know what that substance on his jumper could be?

It's Grippo or whatever brand that players use to keep their hands dry of sweat and make them more "sticky" to help mark the ball. There's about twenty different brands out on the market, each with different colours/textures etc, so it's not obvious that it is that (as every one is different) because each player would have a preference of brand.

Really hope the return of Adams & addition of Trengove helps flight EW10 back to his best in 2018

I actually used grippo for that purpose in a game once. Took me forevee to get it out.

Is this the end for wood? Looking like a shadow of his former self

Can't play as a key defender in a 666


Bevo still trying to play zones, but it ain't going to work

He has to play tall and he has to play players who are good one on one, we are getting monstered in the air

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Shouldn’t be captain. Hand it to Bont. He’s lucky to still get a game.

 

[mambavino]

Put a line through him. It’s over.
