One player I have been hoping to see all year long, Andrew McPherson is injured again. Maybe it will stop him getting rafted and we see him next season in the top team.

Minney you mean goddy i was impressed with him 2 years ago i think it was then he had a serious injury knee i believe.
He has come back a very good player last week he kicked the first goal in the seconds
Seconds he plays mid field and up forward IIRC
Could add a bit of extra grunt he can go

Hopefully like Firns and Lee Westbrook ect when promoted they do not need to be the best footballers as they need to be in the seconds
And can play a bit more relaxed and grow more like some have this year

Good to see Cam Giles string a few games together in the twos, it's like young talent time in that team at the moment but all good signs for the future.

Cam Giles did a lot last week in the seconds marking and goaling and rucking iirc

i must say i hate prospect oval getting car parks
Saying that was a great game we held them off yesterday or at arms length and won by a bigger margin than we had a full side of our best players.
Saying that i know the seconds is really bad but the coach wants to give our younger guys a chance . Yes i saw the entire game yesterday and yes our side were the size of boys against men . But the way to get used to men is being 18 to get ready to go up . I know people wont agree but last three GF games for the seconds we won two . How did those wins get our league side it didnt and yes was we lost a lot of seconds players that hasn't really hurt the league at this stage .
What weve done is bring young guys up and into the league Firns West Lee Minney are the new guns Westbrook Haylock Gaffney Comma have played longer but are still getting better
If that makes sense
Minney yesterday played ok kicked a goal he is tiny and was the shortest in the side to me he proved the younger guys are ready when asked to step up

Considering what a footy friend told me allegedly Stephen Rowe was on the radio saying the Eagles have the best junior development and he wanted Jimmy to go to the Eagles .
True or not i have no clue
We also have one or two sons of Darren Mead who was a Port player must be a life member to .
