Any relation to Mark?

Or Andrew?

Then you've also got current League umpire, Simon, who is also related - son and brother respectively.

gee thanks for the replies guys

Is still listed on the wwtfc website as currently listed player. Maybe CD could shed further light on the subject.

My mail from someone over the border is he has gone home.He got homesick and the sanfl was not for him.
But i would like to hear it from the club before I believe .

Havent heard that, i hope not

I hope this is untrue. I reckon he could be a pretty good player in the future and handy this year as a depth player. He'd be one of those that would have to make every effort and leave no stone unturned to be a good league player, so maybe the effort is too great?

Could ask CD at the game this weekend.

Understand with the bye some lads did go home. Not sure if Joel was one of this group. Haven't heard anymore than this.

As i said CD this was a PM on another footy site from across the border in Vic .

This would be the answer - this source got his motive wrong for the trip. If he had left, I would thought it have been made public by now. This is a good reason for the bye; it gives a chance for interstate recruits to visit home.

Confirmed. Joel Mackie and David Biagi both have left the Eagles permanently. Mackie a loss, potentially a very useful player, Biagi, from what I've seen, no loss and we're saving ourselves a heap of money.

Agreed on both counts. No big deal.

For every Mackie, Biagi, Bolton and Toia you get a McKenzie, Powell, Treeby and Passador.

Yeah, I didn't see much out of the ordinary from either - and Biagi was supposed to be the biggest recruit!

I think Biagi was not fit and the eagles chased him for 2 years!! Surely if you come you give the place a go.
Mackie looked better but .He had one knee op not so long ago before joining the Eagles .
Sorry i hate it when u recruit players that leave mid season .just hope they do not return via another SANFL club like Toia and Beveridge!!

I take it Couch is still here ?

what a blow for WWT

Counch is named in the ressies on Saturday
