gtr: good old Priddus has told the Eagles to get knotted -- good thing too

Ark so Pridda contracted till 2019.Has turned his back on a guess $800,000 for 2 years.Strong principles give MP that.Told them to stick there money.Good on him.

Kim Hagdorn..........hmmm!

If Priddis was rested from the Weagles because "soreness", it would have made very little sense for him to play today for Ees Perf.

If there is a rift, I am sure the Worst (WA's statewide suburban newspaper) will be on to it pretty quickly.

Nope - he was given a 1 year extension earlier this year (ie for the 2018 season) - with the pundits guessing around 500k for the season.

gtr: yep, What I would be asking the Eagles is: Why won't you pick the side on merit? That is, if his form proved to be good enough next season he should play for the Eagles not East Perth.

Interesting stat from AFL.com.au re Sam Mitchell.

He needs 14 more handballs to become the all-time leader, displacing Scott West. They both average ~12.6/game.

West 324 games/4093 HB
Mitchell 323 games/4080 HB
Robert Harvey and Simon Black come next.

But Pridda stands at 235 games/3737 HB ie an average of ~15.9/game. Easily beating the above 5 on average.
Another string to a very distinguished bow. .
