Popular Post Old Croc Posted April 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) I own a 2006 version of the Eagles jumper signed by the Premiership winning team members. Includes Judd, Kerr, Cox and Cousins. I bought it at a football club function. Ross Glendinning was the auctioneer, and to claim my purchase I had to take it off an otherwise naked stripper.

Popular Post BookMan Posted April 16, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2016 Adelaide v Sydney Cracker of a game.. Even contest all round..Pressure from the get go.. Even though Sydney lost, they wont be too disappointed. They kicked over 100 in a loss...and it was Adelaide's home game Sydney was unable to use it midfield advantage, esp. around the clearances. It was a close thing, but it didn't happen. No doubt the late withdrawal of Callum Sinclair upset the plans a little... He would have been an asset up forward also. Tippet might have been a little put off by the crowd booing. Sydney's backline held relatively strong, but showed a few cracks. I still think it was a mistake leaving Zak Jones out of the side. Positives Buddy had a ripper game...4 goals again...He has had 4 goals in each of his 4 games Heeney (future Brownow winner) .. anotehr ripper game... he can mark, kick goal, land on his feet, read the play... Rampe... he is becoming the key defence player Hanneberry - 38 disposas Callum Mills (future Brwonlow winner) made several poor kicking decisions, one which led to a goal..but he also took some good marks and made some other decent decisions... Hard to knock a guy who has played 4 games...he is a serious talent Negatives Mcveigh had little impact and a week in the reserves might ... he had a decent tackle count but looked like he needed a pre game run Mcglynn..not much impact..2 goals..but out of position several other times Papey had zero impact...having started the year so well, he went missing this crucial game....maybe the pressure and pace just got to him The bl**dy umpiring of 15 metre kick ins from a behind...

AlexRRR Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 You know what it is for god sake you live in niddrie, home of soccer..... By the way the Eagles don't win in the fashion stakes, Gold Coast was the worst jumper until the Eagles rocked up with this vomit..... What a thing to say about the,,,Eagles 30 year history jumper. First outside Victoria team to play in the AFL Three (that's 3) premierships. 224 players that have given their all and run their guts out. Thats a lot of sweat, blood, endeavor and yes,, possibly vomit. I think that the worst "fashion statement" jumper I have ever seen was that shiny gay superhero like strip that Hawthorn players were required to wear last year. I think they were supposed to wear it three times but I can only remember seeing it once. Now, that was pretty close to vomit.. < West Coast Eagles 30th Year Guernsey The West Coast Eagles will complete a step back in time to honour its traditions as part of the club’s 30-year celebrations. While the club will return to the traditional navy ‘wings’ guernsey for home games this year, another popular number will also be revealed. Borrowing from the inaugural jumper worn during the West Coast Eagles’ first few seasons, and again in 2004 as part of the AFL Heritage Round, the 30th Year Anniversary guernsey is gold with royal blue wings. Featuring the traditional Eagles logo in the centre, with the current logo as a watermark (player issue only), this limited edition commemorative jumper represents a blending of the old and new. The club’s newly-developed 30th year logo is also prominently displayed in the left blue wing. All 224 players who have taken the field for the club are listed, from John Annear as part of the inaugural team which defeated Richmond on March, 29, 1987, to Tom Barrass who made his debut for the West Coast Eagles on July 26, 2015. We will wear this Guernsey for our dedicated 30th Year Anniversary round (round 4 versus Richmond on Friday, April 15, 2016), and also during our round 12 clash against Adelaide. > > Mate that is not anything like the Eagles first jumper, it was blue with yellow wings, this jumper is puke yellow with clipped blue wings, it's the god dam worst example of anything that resembles a football jumper, takes number 1 off the Suns....I've seen better dressed naf naf's in Broadmeadows, chooks would know about that area since he's a copper ..... http://www.bomberblitz.com/mero/westcoasthome.htm Thanks RON I stand corrected by 50 % the colours are right but the wings are not, and that makes a big difference, you can see why that jumper lasted just ONE year..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Righto Righto.....this seasons fantasy isn't leaving me breathless due to the AFL filling up our league with fillers, so guys a thought occurred to me for next season....that we each put up a second team, I'd rather that than play faceless people, right now I think I would put in Hero Hawks, since they rescued me back in the dark days of the 80's when I use to go eagerly every week...you got 11 months to think about it.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sceadugenga Posted April 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2016 Well done sceadugenga1 for picking Brisbane to give you the round lead at this stage.

Thechook Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Well its official. The umpire got it wrong with those two "not 15 metres calls in the saints/Hawks game which resulted in a hawks goal in the last 1/4. Anyway done and dusted now. Upside the saints play the bottom 7 teams twice and those games are still to come. 15 games still to play at Etihad And if they can keep up their intensity and run they should pass the 6 wins achieved last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joboss Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 http://www.bomberblitz.com/mero/westcoasthome.htm Thanks RON I stand corrected by 50 % the colours are right but the wings are not, and that makes a big difference, you can see why that jumper lasted just ONE year..... Eagles jumper,, I recall there was many a derogatory remark about the early Eagles jumper along the lines of, “Are they Eagles? In that pus yellow top they look more like canaries”. I think the jumper was universally disliked. Similar to the old statement heard at every BBQ whenever the subject of the Dockers (shockers) form came up, “How are the Dockers ever going to get up with an anchor on their chest dragging them down” Seems all have moved onward and upward from there. I hope Freo run into good form this afternoon against the Roos, But, I’m not tipping them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gazman1 Posted April 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2016 Joboss I agree the Dockers team song sounds like it could only be played at a funeral they need a total change I think stop before Ng wanders with anchors and change the theme song. I remember as a younger man the Dockers were renowned for not putting in a full day's work, I think that has carried with the team name.

Popular Post BookMan Posted April 17, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2016 The results are in for week 4!! OldCroc is the winner this week with 8/9! Great effort in picking Brisbane. Will27 is now the solitary overall leader on 27, after Chooka cracked under the pressure. Sadly for KhunWill, no early season leaders have won the tipping comp.
