He went through a 2 year period there where almost every game before the first bounce, he was wrestled. In order to intimidate him. Never appeared to work.
Was a disgrace until they changed the rules to pay a free before the first bounce. Millane I think was often sent down to rough him up...
"Go Hungry Jacks"
"Get your guts out"
"The helicopter's come to take Peter Sumich away"
"Mum, why are the Eagles losing?" (After Sydney kicked the first point for the game in about 91)
"If you want a headjob Carey, you're gonna have to pay for it" (Funnier now given it was years...
It's not so much stopping when you get the ball. It's when some **** can wave that ****ing ball in your face and you can't do squat.
Contact. What the **** is that shit?
Haven't they heard of a good spoil either? So what if I broke a finger or two?
Scott had a tough time on here in his first year.
But it was clear to those that watched him at WAFL level he had the goods.
Has improved his skills to be a complete player.
Hence the last on the list. Still has the ability to play a role in the AFL. But is arguably more useful than Swift at this stage.
Hard to see a role for Swift unless something changes. Is a fair way down the pecking order now.
There would have once been a time in my life where I would have thought, "awesome". You know, because when getting loaded is your life, and being detached from reality, there is only this cycle. It's more than physical or psychological, it just becomes ingrained in everything you do. And the...
Ugle was an immense talent.
Had he not had such family issues, he could have been anything.
Even after he had done his knee and stopped playing at the Ducks, he had some talent and enormous speed. Was boundary umpiring a game of his in some amateur game. I was running 11 second hundreds at...
There were some serious health problems with his brother if I remember correctly. Was a decent player.
And riddle me this. My favourite player as a kid wore #27 for the Eagles before Jakovich. Who am I?
I remember these guys, and I reckon I'm half as old as you are.
Andrew McNish took mark of the year did he not? And has a photo of it in the rooms at the west perth ortho clinic, does he not?
I bet you guys love Murray Wrensted. Freo's best ever player.
Surprised there aren't a few more "WACA specialists".
Mark Hepburn
Clinton Browning
Dean Irving
Phil Scott
The Lockett specialist - Andrew Lockyer
"Eagle for a day", the name we used to give a teacher at Leeming high school. Just can't remember his name. Was a good east freo player...
Can't see a problem with the eagles having an indigenous round game each year as opposed to the ANZAC day/ round clash.
Freo have put in too much effort to the Len Hall game for it to be piggy backed.
The only other knee injury I've seen like this was a mate I used to ride speedway solos with.
He was in the SAS and had done his knee landing from a jump.
Soon after he came back to racing, on a practice night I was going into a corner behind him. As he planted his foot into the slide the...
