Love you, Bunga.
Well done to the man child on becoming the first Eagle to 300 games this week. For a quiet and unassuming person, he sure has racked up some honours in his time.

Whilst ShannonHurn is Central Districts most famous Eagles player, others such as Sam Butler and Jonathon Giles also hail from the club...
Obviously because he was snubbed last year means they automatically have to make up for it this year and hand it to him, tHaTs hOw It wOrKs rIghT??????
Sorry mate but we don't hand people things like that like Gold Coast are handed priority picks every year.
I was having a look through the career stats for our players today, and I never realised that our captain is 6 games shy of 250 (although he won't reach it this year). Given Hurn's impressive durability (despite looking like a 50 year old his entire life) and the fact he's having a career best...
I noticed recently that ShannonHurn played in the 2004, 2005 grand finals for central district. He must of been around 16-17? Was he that good or just lucky? Some shed some light for me
Apologies if there is another thread for this but I haven't seen anything about our captain playing game number 200 this weekend.
Glad he chose football and I hope we can reward him with game 201 the next weekend.
Post your favourite memories of Bunga here.
Both full backs/defenders who were/are captains, just wonder how you would compare the two as players, so far? Glass is a bit taller, but Hurn can play pretty tall, and both are booming kicks (especially Hurn) who could rebound it out of defensive 50 with ease, although one could argue Glass had...
I know, I know. More toasts than a Luke Hodge pre-game session, but I had to make one more for the skipper.
Ive been a bit down on bunga this year because I think he's capable of more- he turned it on tonight in a huge captains game, set the tone from the outset and marshaled the defence like...
...was the obvious succesor to Glass, both are known for being tremendous players when they are void of a direct opponent.
Lets hope that he can lead West Coast out from the depths of mediocraty and back to being a respectable club.

I'd like to congratulate Bunga on receiving the captaincy. I think it's an excellent choice for captain, my first pick personally.
Leave your toast for our new captain here.
Firstly, I don't think we give Shannonhurn enough praise for his shots at goals. He rarely misses. When ever he gets it from outside 50 I can usually say he will 100% make it. What is his goal accuracy in front of goals?
I think this bloke is just about the most underrated player in the game.
The guy is unquestionably the best kick going around. Now, he may only get it 17 times a game but once you add kick-ins, he's kicking the ball about 25 times a game. If he's under pressure, he hits the target. If he's in...
Everyone pretty much rates him but when is he going to go from good player to great player?
At the moment he's kinda just *there*, some nice kicking, pretty reliable etc.
So is he going to be an AA player at some point or is this as good as it gets?
Injuries (like most of our players), have...

Video - What's your decision - Round 3 [1:50]
Looks to me that there is a downward and sideways force from the tackler holding the ball to the tackler, even though the tackler's arms are not directly over the ball. Tough call... Thoughts...
Noticed his efforts on the weekend and he seems to prefer herding up his opponent, hassling them without laying a tackle.
On more than one occasion he needed to lay a tackle, didnt and the ball spilled forward into space where one of our blokes picked it up and ran on.
He's a big boy...
2010 is HURNS TURN!
Thats right Eagles fans, no more runner up Best and Fairest - straight to #1 in 2010!
