Yeah mate, he's been a cop since 2002. He got drafted after their 2nd flag via North via Glenelg.

Has been playing at Blackwood for a few years now. I reckon I was still playing when he started there.


He'll be in the news tomorrow. For good reason.

How he saved a woman in a fire four years ago (I remember reading about that about mid 2012) or has something else happened since?

Ironic, we used to joke that he was built like Tarzan and played like Jane.
Good on him though, obviously what he did was braver than anything that could be done on a footy field, well done Herby.

Well done to Eddie on his 250th game this week, what an awesome player and asset to the game he's been especially at the Crows.

He was always a good player and someone every club had to respect when he was at Carlton, but I'm not sure anyone thought he'd become what he has since he switched over. Just a complete all round small forward these days who seems to rarely go missing like so many of them do.

It's amazing how players transform and improve when they go to a club/environment they want to be in. Look at Danger this year. Tippett at the Swans. Betts obviously.

You would have to think Ellis-Yolmen has probably played his last game for the Crows now.

No ruckman, probably Tom Lynch/wingman type player but not as fast as Lynch. Great marking ability and can run all day. Good skills too
