Definitely! Quirky, confident but an all round top bloke.

Can’t wait to see this kid play 200+ games for the club.

 

[Shinboner1]

Great news, i hope Eddie gets a brand new, top of the range Mazda as recognition from our major sponsor.

Anything to get around the salary cap

 

[shinboner magic]

Excitement machine.

Can’t wait to be in attendance when he’s playing.

Pretty fair comparison; I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as when I listened to Narni telling his story about the practical joke he played on his dad; apparently the old boy was the local RACV mechanic (or whatever the Tassie equivalent is), in the back of beyond town where he lived, so Narni rings him up at 4 in the morning and says I've broken down 40 km out of town, can you come and help? So dad gets out of bed, into the truck and drives off into the night; half an hour later Narni rings up and says 'are you there yet?'

hilarious (except for the old boy)

Yes, the tonka truck story.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Eddie Mazda does have quite a ring to it.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

The hilarious thing is, with Eddie you have to think twice about whether he may have actually changed his name.

Absolute unit. And glad he's ours!

 

[Val Keating]

Nice one Eddy

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Zurhar Larkey Ford Stevo has to be the most eccentric forward line in the completion. What characters!

Zurhaar, Larkey, Ford, Stephenson & Horne-Francis.

Zurhaar, Larkey, Ford, Stephenson, Horne-Francis, & Cal Coleman-Kebab

[RedmanWasHere]

The new Whiskas.

Love it.

I was saying today (and I know it may have been done before) but if we don't allude to Coleman-Kebab kicking to Souvlarkey in an announcement video we've missed a trick.

 

[Shinboner1]

How can you not love this kid.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

It's genuinely incredible to see what Noble and co have built in the space of 12 months. Reading between the lines, it's fair to say that the club was not a great place to be this time last year, some might even describe it as toxic, but now all we get is all the young guys talking about how much they love it there. Impossible to overstate just how important that sort of atmosphere is in a footy club.

 

[Ligma]

These kids will literally drive our club to success, we have a really driven bunch of kids who won’t take their opportunity for granted. I don’t care if they make mistakes in games because by their attitude I can guarantee that they will fix it and grow.

 

[Intothewind]

Cant wait to watch Eddie Ford play next year. Hope we can get to some games.

 

[Ry009]

Welcome Eddie Mazda!

Hopefully we okayed that with Mazda before picking him

Appears to be the case

Nice work Edward and look forward to a long and successful career in the royal blue and white.

He should change his name to Eddie Ford-Mazda to go with all the other hyphen names that will be a the club .

 

[Flawed Genius]

These kids will literally drive our club to success,

If the rules change and we are allowed to drive vehicles onto the field of play in the introduction of some bizarre AFL/vehicle polo hybrid, I have no doubt you are correct

There is obviously a huge focus for everyone to hit the gym hard in the preseason.

Well done Noble.

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