That's where I'm at.
Today's game was the first game I've watched live in 12 months and I left at 3qtr time (as did many Eagles supporters).

Bringing Flynn & Cripps back better just be Mini's attempt at humour.
Shouldn't even be on the extended bench, certainly not make the final team. This whole "mature bodies" should only be a thing if we're injury depleted to the point where we're choosing between Flynn and Barnett for the ruck role.
Looks mentally weak, not just because of his onfield performances but the comments he's previously said about losing the first ruck tap setting the scene for the rest of his game. When you throw in that he was drafted to a historically bad AFL side with an equally bad WAFL team, he just hasn't...
