WHAT DOES 2021 HOLD FOR THE EAGLES?

When will we know who's got overaged for us as that would be hard to decide who stays and who goes

We will still be around the mark even after the draft. I have no figures to back me up but I would say over
the period since the amalgamation we have provided more players to the AFL than most clubs here and
possibly those around the country. We still play finals regularly and Sheedy and co seem to have a good
eye for talent. Given that our Reserves won the flag and diligent recruiting, if the talent can gel quickly
we should be a contender yet again

Are we entitle to a marquee player like PA. If so I wonder who it can be Knight?

No Idea however Wimpy or someone closer may know

Gazz, you mentioned (above) about our strong future with the Seconds Premiership but there were a few mature players in that team that played well and won't get any better. The Club perhaps saw this and went and recruited heavily outside the club compared to the previous year. Some of those players have to be moved on to make way for emerging youth from the U18s. Better to have a Seconds team that finishes 4th with 6-7 young players of real potential.

Their would be a few or so extra training to get a spot on our list as usual but of course don't know who they are

Boys were back on track yesterday morning though a time trial so do we know if all participated in it or have we got a few that had pre season surgery etc

Spotted the boys post training enjoying a coffee at 94 West

Ok yeah they had their Christmas show on Saturday aftrernoon not sure how many attended it though

I think the Christmas Show was for Staff and Board Members only.
Therefore FISH wouldn't have attended but I'm told the Salmon for the main course was fantastic

True yeah saw a photo but wasn't sure who it was for

Went and watched training tonight. Good attendance. Eight players from local clubs were invited out to train. Riley Knight as well as the Menzel brothers and Mutch brothers were at training. A young 18 y.o. indigenous boy from Alice Springs also trained. He ran fourth in the association medal. Spoke to his mentor and he said he plays like Jacob Wehr. No Petrenko at training.

Any chance the 18 year old will be an Eagle wimpy ?
Menzel brothers and Knight look good ?

Does that mean we offered more money?

It's a wonder we had any cap space left!!!!

Forgot to mention Cooper Gaffney and Jake Cook were out training.

I like the look of inviting local lads out. You need the locals to live the dream. I'm not sure if Mansell has been mentioned. Is he coming back. Do you know the lads name from Alice?

Didn't see Mansell.

Last year we also invited out locals.

Saw the name of the indigenous lad, it was quite long, can't remember it.

i would think that Mansell would say home in Tassie with his family until the new year. He is coming back according to what i have been told

Cookie was at the preliminary final presentations in the club rooms. The Gaffney's might've left the club or so but they've been around the place watching eagles when they can including finals and their dad was at the after party

I know that Connor McLeod is playing in Darwin too im guessing that he'll return to us when the season has finished

Good to hear the Gaffney boys may be giving it another try. Problem they have is that, being the same sort of player, they are competing against each other in addition to a plethora of HF/HB flankers. If Mansell doesn't sign it'll be a big loss - Cooper Gaffney and Jungfer might then compete for his back pocket position.
Tried to get  IT info on the indigenous lad Mishae Wollergerang (mentioned above) from CAFL? Up comes the settlement of Wollergerang but no mention of any player by that name. Is the name correct? Was it 4th in the CAFL U18s Medal or 4th in the Seniors CAFL Medal (Minihan Medal). Could be a good signing if he can provide that indigenous "electric" speed.
Has Asalfa recovered from that season ending collision with the point post at Woodville Oval? Was showing some good form.
Anyone heard how Moller is progressing ? (Moller missed entire 2020 season from an ACL reconstruction.
