with bold headlines in the Times yesterday how strong will the WCE be next year with all those expats leaving the Suns to rush to play for them.
Bennell,O’Meara,Swallow and Matera.Maybe they can even get the Suns to let Jack Martin return to the golden side of WA.
With a good clean out coming at the end of a season that promised so much yet has delivered so little it is no wonder that all these boys will want to return home to help out.
Ahh the press here in WA.You gotta luv em.
having lived in victoria for a short while anchorman, it is much the same thing there too in terms of their own. media across the board are in theory just puppets. yes a baseless story though no doubt they will target several suns players. all clubs will not just eagles.
very dissapointed with north yesterday. they were just terrible. a season of heart breaking losses now taking their toll clearly. I must say the game yesterday was just appalling as a spectacle. fremantle happy with win but some of the skills shown were at times as bad as ours were. i found it a most average uninspiring game. the dockers are really setting themselves up though. as for eagles they looked better than they have all year but still lose. they will be lucky to make finals unless they bring that type of game for teh rest of the year. they could beat essendon. freo could beat cats. north may beat Giants but who doesnt .
It certainly wasn’t attractive but all we have to do is win games and keep us up in the top four.I am not sure our skills were as bad as norths but it must be remembered that the game was started in the wet.The ground was slippery the ball wet.
If we win next week we will go into the top two,which is important for us.
I see the Geelong and Richmond games as being the hardest in our run home.
yes winning ugly is still winning.
we would take a very ugly win right now ourselves im sure .
Sydney played ugly and won premierships.
It was interesting to hear Tim Watson say, in reply to a question from Zempilas, if Fremantle could stick it with the big boys.He said yes because Fremantle are playing finals type of football every week.
no doubt ugly can win anyone a flag if they get it right. if they dont it can look very ugly the other way around. watching grand finals recently the sides competing have this incredible intensity. almost mercenary like on the day. we have been spoilt with grand finals in 05,06,08,09,10,11 and 2012. truly remarkable contests not always pretty (ugly in patches) but thoroughly brilliant. fremantle cant think too far ahead yet. just getting there is hard enough. there are about 6 clubs who can possibly win it.
Well I can tell you I had a good chat to Brandons dad this year and he was very keen to return home as soon as he could,
I know that the GF is a long long way off att he moment and not getting carried away,but we are in a better position than a lot of others right now and this is looking like our best chance yet to make it.
Who was Brandon or Wally!!!Even if he came home there is no guarantee he would automatically go to the Eagles.
Anchorman it wouldnt be next season as you refered to in your leading post,the article did mention that those players were contracted next season so they would not be available to any other club until 2015 which was infered in the article.
I would imagine if they wanted home that they would go to one of the local Perth clubs that presented the best offer although Matera does have a strong family background associated with the Eagles…who knows that may carry some weight!
it is just the implying that all West Aussie boys if they return will automatically go to the Eagles.
Maybe right now the Dockers look a better prospect than the Eagles and they would prefer to wear Purple.
Maybe the Matera thing might work but lets not forget that Wally was sent packing by the Eagles.
As i stated in my earlier post,players will go to the club with the best offer and if thats Freo then thats where they will end up..end of story.
You are right the Dockers do look and are playing much better than the Eagles.i think from here the Eagles will struggle to make the 8.
I didnt take the article like you did..that they will all end up at the Eagles,i took it as the Eagles will be chasing there signatures!
