No recruiting news.
Possibly a league match to be played on Yorke Peninsular.
Redden and Almond announce retirements.
Mutch not at presentation night.
Thommo said he will be going on.
Sheedy sees Rory Lehmann as a future leader at the club.
Sheedy very encouraged with youth coming through. Said Eagles need a mixture of youth and selective recruiting to regain a lofty position.

Thanks for the info wimpy. Well done to Riley Knight and all the award winners. Did Studham come through the junior ranks? What is his story? He stood out playing deep in defence the first Reserves game I saw and looks like he could become a very good league footballer - not necessarily just as a defender.

Studham played some junior games for the Eagles but went back and played in the Adelaide Plains League.
Somebody recommended to Sheedy that he should have a look at him and he came down at the start of preseason and hasn't looked back. Brad Graham the reserves coach gave him a big wrap. Will be working on his speed in the off season.
He takes the game on and has a very good left foot kick.

Yes I remember someone mentioning very early in the first season that he looked to be a promising footballer.

I thought he could and should have been given an opportunity far earlier in the season ahead of a few others.

As mentioned, a very good kick and user of the footy.

I hope he commits himself to getting the most out of his obvious talent by having a big pre-season and that Sheedy backs him in from Round 1

A good 2022 result for three of our upper echelon juniors.
Tyler Welsh and Tom Luck made the All Australian U16 team and Adam D'Aloia made the U18 All Australian Team. Well deserved boys.
