Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford

Eddie Ford = To The Rubicon.

 

[DunderHead]

Do you think we will see this number 40 strap a piano to his back and in up the hill?

I thought Obst was going to be something.

I hear he's going great guns in the world of furniture removal

Where did we get pick #56 from...when l stopped watching our next pick was in the 70s...

Not 100% sure, but I suspect teams passing in the 40s and early 50s would’ve bought that 70s pick down.

Pick 71 compressed with all the picks used up for academy bidding and passes

If he turns into a gun , let’s pretend we got it from *

"Possibly even play across half back'

Sounds like they’ve pencilled in Eddie for a role down back at some stage too.

With his high leap he might turn out to be a Jeremy Howe

No further picks by teams - this was expected pre-draft. Our later pick brought forward by teams passing

 

[The Other Dean]

Different cat our Brent.

Can confirm.

Had Brent as a teacher for a year at high school.

Still not sure how I managed to get out alive.

 

[Phillyroo]

Sheeeeeeet he looks big in the Lazzaro interview video. Ford could be the most ready to go pick in the 50s for a while.

Where and what was he teaching T.O.D. ?

Ford, lazz and philips are a very good size for their age. Walker and Powell still skinny.
The first 3 could push for early selection with no worries.

Got a good feeling about Ford. Looks like he plays with a bit of campaigner as well.

I suspect the Vic kids who didn't get to play spent winter in the gym and on the aths track.

Year 9 Economics(?) maybe. Bit of a memory fade, but think that was it.

At the same school that produced the NMFC consecutive games record holder. (Suddenly it all makes sense.)

But back to Tiger.....funniest thing was when he was on yard duty. You'd be sitting down the back of the oval having a smoke, watching some kids playing kick-to-kick on the oval, and suddenly this thick set, adult body would flash into view at high speed, taking a huge speccie over some weedy little kids, laughing as they crumpled to the ground, before taking off and having a bounce, bumping and steamrolling any kids in his path that weren't looking, and then spearing a pass in to the other end that was delivered with sufficient force to literally skittle dudes.

If you google 'white line fever', I'm pretty sure a picture of Brent Crosswell will come up.

Then he'd just wander off whistling to himself like nothing had happened. Bloke was a unit.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Fordy 40 = The Save All

 

[giantroo]

I'm told he'll be wearing the number #40

Now confirmed.

Who was that smug toss who related him to Spud months ago?
