Still a few more likely to leave aswell from what I’m hearing.
Yep, and needed to be. The current lot were miles off it
Thought Norwood were very good in that Qualifying Final. Had you a target up forward, which you lost in the mid-season draft, the result may have been different. As for desire and playing that hardened brand of finals football, in that game at least, you were there. FWIW I also think Sturt play a similar way and with more experience and recruiting, could be contenders in 2022.
Agree with everything there, Aerie. Re Sturt, even without much recruiting I am pretty sure they will be contenders. Their form in the latter part of the season was excellent. Strangely, the improvement started when Kirkwood and McEntee left; maybe the others were leaving too much up to the great man, Zane - with him gone they realised they all had to lift? Cheers
A Bulldog in winter; a WTDCC Eagle and OICC Wolf in Summer!

Yep agree with you both .. Throw a fit Wilson into that group with a couple others who missed a lot of this season and I reckon Sturt can easily join the contenders in 2022.

Would Lewis be a chance to get drafted? Seemed to easily be Sturt's best midfielder and very impressive as a contested ball-winning mid.
Like many clubs, will probably be hunting for a key forward who can kick at least 30-40 goals next season.

Not sure what Rucci said but I think we had signed up Sam Gray following the collapse of the Maggies which also saw Kirkwood go to Sturt. Unfortunately shortly after the Power drafted him so we never saw him in eagles colours.

He'd be a good replacement for Stengle.
There’s internet talk Rucci said this on Sen No I didn’t hear it We will wait and see if he’s not drafted he’s rumoured to be at oval ave

or Port Districts.
Sam and his brother Tom have signed at Port Districts.

All quiet on the western front so far, which is a good sign. Meggsy starts on Monday, so things might change then. I believe that Scott Stevens has already been relieved of some of his duties, so there's change in the wind already.
