Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford

[czero]

Was never in doubt anyway mate…. Bleeds blue and white, with stripes and everything.

So great.

So Eddie’s thread had slipped to the third page… so needed a bit of an uptick. During the week he reached out to my boy to catch up for a kick at Arden St. Off his own back, he got in contact with me, got my sons phone number and organised it. They hung out for a couple of hours kicking, talking footy, and talking North. What a bloody ripper.
Can’t wait to see him rip it up next year with the stands full, and kicking goals and endearing himself to all of us with some out there celebrations!View attachment 1283484

What a legend!

Phillyroo, sorry if it’s been spoken about this before, what was the reason behind him messaging you?

I worked with his old man a few years ago, and I was his Player Sponsor this year. He is just a genuinely good young man.

Incidentally, that night I wrote him a message to thank him and tell him how much I appreciated it… Eddie’s response “it was the best part of my week”…..

That is unreal.

When i first joined this site you were going thru a pretty tough time. Its great to see you've come thru it and its great to see your boy looking strong and happy.

Great story. Cheers for sharing Philly. Mazda has a good head on his shoulders!

Thanks mate, appreciate that.

Fun fact: In the car world Ford owns Mazda so this works out perfectly.

Didn't think I could love Eddy Ford any more, but I can. Sorry.

 

[SunnyBoner]

Love this story about Eddie and Philly's boy.

There really is something about Eddie.

great story, well done Mazda (who I see has the earrings to complete the look, solid gold only I trust, there are standards to maintain)

This is outstanding. On all levels.

100%
Feels like we've never really been prepared going into a preseason.
Watch out 2022

Just remember it will take 3 years to get to peak conditioning for the majority of our squad.

Im expecting massive improvement in conditioning from last year. The bar was set very low. Should have a decent year, not finals bound yet but definitely outside bottom 4

I love this bloke.

A best case scenario of Eddie and Cam tearing it up in the forward line together is something else.

We could probably find a spot around them for that Horne-Francis kid.

 

[shinboner magic]

He’s such a smooth mover and has a great skill set.
Can see in a year or two when he matures a bit more , really taking games apart - knows how to use his body well

 

[roos_fanatic08]

How’s the shoulders on the lad?

Physically matured a lot in just 12 months.
