Replacing Tallen and all the enthusiasm he brought to the team can not be underestimated. Rog is about the only other one who seems to have that ability to inspire within him. Who is the current ring leader of our mob?

Another question...anyone know why Banners has retired?

I was told he has a job up north.

Banners has retired due to work commitments unfortunately he will be sadly missed.

On team selection why on earth has Daniels not been given a League game this season?

Why is the transition from our Colts through to Senior football just not happening at our club? I have seen so many talented young guys lose their way after Colts footy and the question really has to be asked why is that?

BH are colts players allowed to be elevated to league level with the new colts setup this year.

Graydon Wilson played League today for us mate so I would dare say they are allowed now.
Also Cameron played Reserves today as did Bain, More, Rowlinson, Curtis etc over the last few weeks and funnily enough our Reserves have played well with these Colts boys stepping up a grade.

Similar questions at Shark Park where we always have strong Colts teams but that doesn’t filter through. Great to see Wilson play League. It’s a big jump from Colts to League so we’ll done to Pickering and coaching staff for selecting him. How’d he go?

I think Swans have been pretty good at pushing kids up over the years- certainly one of the better clubs

I went to the the game yesterday and you just can't rule the Ferals out when they have a full contingent. They may not beat $ubi but they take up a final 5 spot and could very easily slip into a GF. I also listened to Micale's summary and he mentioned twice that both EP and the Eagles have a bright future , has he been under a rock for a week ???

BH,

Have a chat with Bill Monaghan because our Colts are shit most years but we get the transition right with many going on to play League footy.

14

14 current Eagles (plus a couple of ex ones) + 6 in the Reserves played yesterday from memory but it is the quality of them that is the weekly raffle yesterday Barrass, Ryan & Sheed played rare games for the Eagles Reserves yesterday whilst a couple of weeks ago it was Brad Hill, Sean Darcy, Harley Bennell etc when we played Freos Reserves but to be honest we are not playing well enough to beat the Widgiemooltha 3rds let alone topped up afl reserves teams!
