Anyone remember which board it was where everyone went over and flooded the "who will win?" poll with votes for West Coast before a game? I forget but it was sometime last year. Well anyway, Norf have a poll on their board...

We NEED to do this next year vs the Roos again...

Pineapple on Pizza

Context: "If you like pineapple on your pizza, you're going to burn in the fires of hell and probably think Priddis should've got his extension!"

Ah yes the great debate that Vishy lost.

Campaigner.

Definition: Something which is used waaay too often on this board and needs to be stopped immediately as it deeply offends.

- Gee Venables has some skills. He mainly jogged laps before spending the last half hour or so on set shots - curled a few beauties from behind the boundary line at the end for a bit of fun. Hardly saw him miss a kick.
- What interested me the most was that McGovern split his time between the defenders and the forwards, could be seeing a swingman role in 2018. He was his usual dominant self down back in some match simulation drills before going head-to-head with Mackenzie in a forward role.
- Bayok is very fast - Cripps was in most of the drills with him and couldn't keep up.
- Nelson is pale as buggery and still doesn't really have the body shape you'd expect of an AFL player.
- There was a big bloke who pulled up next to me and I could have sworn it was Suma, but I'm sure I was wrong...
- Masto was the player picked to kick the goal at the end today and nailed it. Celebrations were huge.
- No sign of Cole, Parto or Hill. Couldn't tell you why.
- Sheed kicked on his right foot for 80% of the session, I reckon. Nice to see players working on their non-preferred so readily.
- Mitchell looked a class above the other midfielders bar Priddis. Just knew how to find the footy and wouldn't miss a target all session. Shuey was very quiet and seemed to be taking direction from Mitchell. Doesn't bode well for his captaincy credentials, maybe he doesn't want the gig?
- Duggan looked on and was hitting targets left and right. Set for a huge 2018.
- Giles went up against Vardy in the ruck contests and I'd say that Giles has the inside running at the moment.
- Won't say too much about it in case I was just reading too much into it, but Rioli looked as though he'd enjoyed the Christmas break a bit too much. A few of the coaches pulled him aside and they were having quite an animated conversation before Rioli was sent to do laps for the rest of the session. Good news for Le Cras, I suppose.
- A lot of running work again, clearly a focus even in the heat.
- Petrie looked like he was doing a great job 'coaching' the younger forwards in between the drills. Darling in particular seemed to be following him around.

Definition:
The rallying cry of a fanbase starved of youth, desperate for a match committee that will take a risk and inject new talent into the side. Namely, bringing back Nic Naitanui and debuting Willie Rioli in a sudden death Elimination Final.

Culture of Arrogance

1. When the footballing universe conspires to hand us an incredibly unlikely win after a week of turbulence and criticism

2. A new dance move pioneered by Eagles board members, chiefly involving a lot of strutting and tongue wagging

3. When Basil Zempilas professes to know literally anything about the game of football
 
Nice pace, good kick

1. The desire to acquire players with speed peaked during the Pridda in the centre era

2. Any player with 'pace and a good kick' was therefore trade or draft worthy

3. Players with supposed pace and a good kick are busts (i.e Mutimer the $7 million dollar man, I thought I could do another post on this but I didnt think it quite made the cut)
 
Tom Cole's speed

1. The myth that Tom Cole is supposedly the slowest player on our list and, based on the desire for pace in the squad, is apparently delisting material

2. Cole was playing in our best 22 at the time

3. Has nice pace, good kick

Who was responsible for this one?

Let's not go there. I've just finished the associated counselling.
