SA Footy

Just watching the way the West Aussies have embraced the retirements of Sheedy and Hird it is just outstanding. The West Coast Eagles and everyone at the ground should be absolutely proud of themselves. Well done.

Well done to the Eagles players and coaching staff and suppoters for the way the showed support of two games greats

It was, fantastic to see. Any footy fan should have felt touched (no * jokes here) by the send off Sheedy and Hird were given. Although the timing of playing "Eagle Rock" was off.

Yep it was excellent, would like to think we would do the same here at AAMI but I feel everyone would be heading off to get out of the car park...

I was @ Subiaco lasy year for Rohan Smith's last game, and was pleasantly surprised at the large ovation he received.

Didn't see it, anyone record it (You tube ??). Would be good to see as I liked Sheed and Hirdy (only 2 at Essendon is enough! )

Both occasions were an excellent example of sportsmanship and what footy is all about as compared to the other crap going on at the moment.

Didn't Freo go out of their way to make sure Fitzroy got a decent send off in their last game as well after no help or advice from the AFL? Good work by the West Aussies. Hird and Sheedy certainly deserved it.

Spot on.
