Listening to Ronnie Fuller on the 5RPH Sport Show tonight, he was quized by the boys on any recruits the Eagles are chasing...
Obviously he spoke of Jay Cheep who has already been signed and of course Ken McGregor who has committed to the SANFL now he has "retired" from the Adelaide Crows. I know there has been speculation about what Rhett Biglands was going to be doing and Ron confirmed that he will be at least doing a pre season with the Eagles (they start training next Monday) and he will see how the knee and body holds up.
There has also been some talkings about a favourite son at Woodville Oval, Hayden Skipworth, and whether the club is trying to lure him back from the VFL. Ron mentioned on the show tonight that Hayden has committed to coming back to the Eagles for season 2009 if he is not picked up in the AFL draft. We all know he went over to the VFL to try and get onto the list of a Melbourne based AFL club but I doubt, after having a knee reconstruction in his first year over there, that any club will show interest in recruiting Skippy.
So I reckon it's safe to say and that we can be 99% sure that we will officially add Hayden Skipworth as a "recruit" for the Eagles in season 2009...
