Skipworth returning to Eagles

[eaglehaslanded]

Shall I start a SKIPWORTH 2009 MAGAREY MEDAL post ?
Good to see him back a delightful player to watch
It would be nice for EG fans to see CICCY/SKIPPY both firing in 2009

This would be a more appropriate thread to start rather than the cica thread. Skippy would be in line for the vfl equivalent this season I would imagine.

Skippy returning is older than mr grace ,jacobs would get picked up again you would think ,if the midfielder is the one i got told abt 3 weeks ago would be handy .The the candys are looking to draft broadbent with their first pick dont think any one else would get picked up .

I hope klun plays on would be a big loss as you stated ,and i hope schwarze stays the club should do everything in its powers to keep them both

True but he has 1 more year to go it could be worse we could have rodgers in charge ,thank god fuller dosent like him and wants him out

the joker ...I can give you one very good bloody reason why skippy would want to return to the Eagles, and that is because his fiancee lives in Adelaide and has an extremely good job. A man can only go for so long without it.

Sauce's return depends on whether Carlton gets Warnock or not...

If we don't land Warnock I dare say Sauce will be elevated onto the senior list....

[Drop Bear]

hasn't been confirmed yet by the club but I believe Skippy has returned

Sam Jacobs will also return if he is delisted by Carlton

also chasing a midfielder from the VFL who Centrals are also after

I should have quoted your post first CCL but I didnt. two out of three you have named the rumors have been flying for months and months .
Any idea when the club will confirm ?
And can you pm me the name of the vfl player?

Who is this VFL player Centrals and Eagles are chasing...

Mickj, PM me who it is when CCL tells you who it is...

Big Phil, PM me when Mickj tells you when he finds out from CCL.

CCL and Holden 78 are keeping the name to themselves

Thought Skipworth went to Vic to get on another AFL list? If so then while calling him a failure is a bit harsh, but sadly true.

Anyway, good pick up but I don't think he's going to be enough on his own. WWT are on the way down with what they have IMHO. Passador is only going to get older and slower (especially given his injury troubles are mounting), Colville and Ciccolella are finished and the rucks are now a weakness, not the strength they were for most of the decade (IMHO of course). The Eagles have quite a few holes appearing that just one player isn't going to fix. Skipworth isn't the answer, but might be a part of the answer if they can find a forward, a ruckman, a key defender and another good midfielder from somewhere. Funny thing is that's a shopping list 9 SANFL clubs have! Just a question of being smarter about who you go after and how much cash you need to spend to get the players needed.

Must admit Andrew Rodgers looked lost when he was leaving the coaching box at alberton .
I wonder why fuller wants him out is he perhaps jealous that his team is still alive in the finals

Well if Jacobs comes home that's a ruckman around 200cm .

There's C. Bock who's 201 cm.

Got injured in the round 3 game against Port u19s at Alberton (collarbone), came back a couple months ago and has been playing well.

I don't think we need any more forwards - Passador has had hamstring problems since 2004 anyway, plus if we can keep Grocke and Schwarze we won't have any trouble there. Fitzgerald can improve on his season this year, too, even though he did kick 32 goals, hopefully Christopher Hall does not go anywhere too.

Are Schwarze and Grocke staying ?

[spell_check]

I don't know, that's why I said "if". But I sincerely hope they do stay.
