Good to hear from DD certainly having it large after  yesterday's winning start to the season at Lathlain. Didn't the new strip look good too!



 

I like the jumper Tim Tam but the red is not our usual red, a bit bright a couple of us noticed. I believe it's a retro from the 1990 season where we had a rare year of playing finals thanks to the delisting of Winston Abraham from Fremantle and the movement of Brett Spinks from Soufs to Perth for a season. A demons logo was on the front of that jumper. Not sure if it's a one off or the jumper for the entire season. Forgot to ask with all the emotions of the day.

Joyce, English and R McGuire will be on the selection radar next weekend....I assume Gorringe as well....Tassone will need a few more reserves runs I guess....but he will be a handy in. Obviously disappointing to hear HMarsh is out for a lengthy stint....not overly fussed about Monty.....be good if young Sanchez gets a crack sometime soon....definitely a talent. 

O'Reilly is a given out these days, won a flag without him in the end last year. JMarsh is hit n miss up front, perhaps replace his brother in the midfield....though not sure who goes up front height wise. Lots for the selection committee to ponder on fir the Cl game....

I know its only first game, but pretty ordinary effort. I know Peel beat us virtually every year first up (memo to WAFC, how about changing things around) but usually its a close contest. Yesterday, we were never really in it.

Peel way too good, but we looked uninterested for the main part. Maybe another hangover, like West Perth last year. Hopefully not, and still early days, but not a lot to get excited about currently.

As a side note, EF haven't won 2 flags in a row since 1945/46, despite some good success in the 50 odd years until 1998. Every single other side (except the Eagles) have manged it at least once with some sides ( including Swan Districts and even Perth) doing it more than once!
