Let me say up front who would not want Harley Reid in their team. In yesterday's West a supporters comments on progress so far
"Eagles Flying Once More
Arrogance, Swagger , Hunger, Warpath, Fends-Off, Fight , Reid, Winning.
The Eagles are back, and Optus is a fortress again. Throw in Waterman too? And a workhorse backline?
Victorian Clubs Beware"
Aberration or not time will tell. But one thing is for sure when they are down you can never find em. I know of one who jumped ship and supported Brisbane, Cuppla wins and they come out of the woodwork like boils on your Rrrssss.
Part of the problem is they have no spiritual home like Freo we have the Port Wharfies anything maritime. Yes a Premiership would have be nice. Someone once said to me they arose in 1987 in a crib with a n Eagle Egg in it on the corner of Fitzgerald and Newcastle St. Ask Sean Mcmanus if loves to see a good Feathered Flogging! and
Aside issue if you remember when Freo recruited Michael Barlow as a mature age recruit his Centre clearances where legendary until Rhys Palmer stuffed that up. He did it with little publicity and finesse.
