And we know he was let go how ? or did he decide to leave his family and home and try his luck in the big lights of woodville

Article in the newspaper.

Guess who doesn't buy a paper

From Tom's first website article
"I played with the Geelong Falcons in 2006 before playing with the Geelong VFL team last year. Despite spending most of the time on the sidelines due to an ankle injury, I look back at my time with Geelong with fond memories and see it as a great learning curve."

Tom is a quality lad who is looking to do well at his new home.

In his latest article he talks about the recent city camp the players held - here is some of Tom's thoughts - "The “camp” began at Thebarton with an 8am skills session. Despite the players feeling the effects of a full week of training, nothing less then 100% was given by all.
After training the boys headed over to the Function centre at Thebby for some breaky. Following the feed, the boys were told to break up into 6 large groups, then find a partner. The partner had to be someone you had never played with before. Luckily for me I partnered with 2006 premiership hero Sam Fairclough.

What followed was an entertaining couple of hours with games such as handball and water balloon throwing aimed at team bonding.

The Sunday session was a little bit trickier. The playing group met at Henley Square at the usual time, 8 o’clock for our final fitness tests of the summer, 3 x 300 followed by a Jetty to Jetty, which is roughly a 4k run along the beach. From previous experiences I knew the Jetty to Jetty was a tough run, but didn’t think too much of the 300’s. I was in for a rude shock. The lactic acid build up in my legs was ridiculous. I couldn’t walk for 5 minutes after. And I wasn’t the only one. Somehow we all completed the Jetty to Jetty. Daniel Roberts led from the start and turned in an astonishing time, 15:30.
That’s an amazing result when the body’s nice and fresh, but after the 300’s, that’s beyond inspirational.

The boys even survived my cooking of breakfast!!!

Some folk have been asking why Eagles fans don’t have own forum. The forum that was on the unofficial site become a problem for the boys running the site with it being hit with much adult advertising links etc. The good news is that it is up and running again with improved security – check it out Eagles fans at the Eagles are Cool site.

Sorry for asking a stupid question, but what's the link for this site? I've Googled "Eagles are Cool" and it comes up with no results.


Thanks for the updates by the way.

Go to the site again and the home page - go to contact us and the boys at the site will fix up for you - i had same problem - i'm sure they'd like to hear from you as thought the glitch had been fixed.

Re the trial - I could be wrong but think it is sturt's game so they are doing catering - apologies if i'm wrong - maybe sturt fans may know?.

I'm calling all Eagle fans to help the Club propel up the membership ladder. Last year we finished 4th and we want to make our way up to number 1. Have a look at last years membership ladder, are you able to help make a difference in 2008.

We have come a long way since 1999 when we were in 8th position, however over the past few years we have remained in 4th position. It is time to make a stand - refer a friend, renew your membership and lets climb up the ladder in 2008!!

Currently as of about 10 minutes ago - we have just over 1000 members. And a special bonus offer for a lucky junior member:

Your child has a chance to win by becoming an Eagles junior member before Friday, 9 May 2008. All junior members at this date will go into the draw to win a Savings & Loans Treasure Chest with $100!
