EAGLE NEWS #2

[cd]

It was excellent to see a good crowd at Thebarton for our internal trial tonight. A competitive first hit out with even an FAD paid by the umps!

I may be accused of bias but I thought the lights at Thebby were at least as good if not better than the Parade and the ground itself was in excellent condition.

Also good to welcome Darren ‘Dutchy’ Holland back to the Eagles as an official – will be a club runner this year.

The Eagles could be the team with the most brothers playing in 2007 – Joe & George Pedler, Christian & Adam Grocke, Peter & Robbie Fiacchi. – (Spelly one for you).

It was great to catch up with David Westbrook during the week at training. Westie is looking very fit – all the work he is doing helping on the family farm – hopefully the situation will allow for Westie to be back soon.

For all supporters if you want to be on the bus to Victor for our first game against South Adelaide on Easter Saturday ring the club ASAP to book your seat - $21 return.

Trial games next Saturday vs Sturt at Thebby - then in a fortnight vs Norwood at the Parade. Our last trial vs North – at this stage at Thebby but dependent upon cricket may be at Woodville – to be confirmed.

Members watch for your newsletter in the mail very soon – at the printers at the moment – will have all the news for the start of the season.

If you want to attend the 2007 Player Auction Night on Saturday 31st March ring the club ASAP as only a few tickets left – bookings already very heavy. Will be a great night!

Then don’t miss the free Members Night on Tuesday April 3rd.
Both nights upstairs in the newly renovated function room – members you will be delighted with the improvements - looks fantastic with the Premiership Cup in pride of place! Make sure you get there on the 3rd – free food, free raffles, merchandise, news & interviews. Renew your membership or join up on the night.

Our website is being revamped at the moment – watch for the relaunch – coming soon.

A big late recruit? A scheduled night match at Thebarton? I wonder...

Anyone like to guess at what the big news could be. Could it be a new guernsey, a new club logo, a new recruit, naming rights sponsorship of Woodville Oval, a permanant move back to Thebby perhaps. I just don't know. C'mon Eagles release some more info I want to know.

Hmm, I know theyve got online shopping planned through thinkgroup like Centrlals have started but that wouldn't be big news.
I doubt a new big recruit would still be about now and naming rights to a ground isn't exactly earth shattering in this day and age.
New emblem or guernsey perhaps?
Mind you it'd be hard to see them change something that they just won a flag with.
Dunno?

[westside]

Expand the Eagles club. I can bearly get a table there anymore.

[Aerie]

Thanks for the info cd. Reading that certainly gets the pulse beating in anticipation of another footy season!

[MightyEagles]

Last nights game was taped by CD, but don't expect it to be released, as I have been told it is not the best of camera work.
A night game at Thebby maybe?

[westside]

Are those light towers at Thebby actually safe? They just look so... old!

[Mickyj]

Thanks for the info CD
And I bought my tickets for the bus early in the week .

Can not wait for the big news

[MightyEagles]

Are those light towers at Thebby actually safe? They just look so... old!

The lights at Norwood also look old. There has been some work on the lights, but not sure what.

You're not wrong about the Norwood lights. I refuse to stand near those things.

Who's Shauns' brother?

[Wedgie]

Who's Shauns' brother?

Dunno his first name but BRPRB pointed him out at the internal trial game last Wednesday night.

[Ian]

Troy Gatto

[BirdOfPrey]

Anyone from here go to the internal trial?
any details on how the new players looked. What snr players had a run, what about the kids.

[MightyEagles]

Flo, Hally and passa played.

[MightyEagles]

Eagles unders played an Internal trail today.
C Bock played well in Ruck (he's tall and thin).
Good Crowd today (full of Parents).
Next Sunday - Sturt.

[MightyEagles]

Did anyone see the pic of the two Eagles Jumpers in the paper.

[cd]

People are talking - new jumpers are great in my opinion - get to the up coming functions to check them out.
