Re: No. 19 Matthew Egan

Matty just keeps getting better and better. His overhead skills are phenomenal for someone who has been playing the game for only a few years (and that is including underage football).

I can see him playing many years in the Blue and White.

Re: No. 19 Matthew Egan

Most improved player in the AFL, 2007. Solid and dependable.

Re: No. 19 Matthew Egan

Fantastically reassuring backman - you always know he is going to give it 150%. Love watching him play against a taller opponent.

The guy is a star.... I have no doubt he'll achieve All Australian honours within 5 years.

Re: No. 19 Matthew Egan

AFL Round 11 v Adelaide
With Harley playing better today, Egan wasn't needed so much. Was up forward for a lot of the today mostly rotating on and off the bench with N Ablett, but couldn't leave an impact

Re: No. 19 Matthew Egan

I'm sposed to be Egan watch-guy so better post something.

R12 v Brisbane Lions

Stats: 18 disposals, 9 kicks, 9 handballs, 4 marks, 3 tackles

Egan was terrific on the weekend as usual, stood the standout CHF in the game in Brown, kept him to two goals (one freakish and the other a soccer off the ground). I put MEgan in the votes I did. My favourite MEgan moment was when he spoils the ball away and followed up with a smother and got it going our way.

MEgan is playing his 50th game next week. Hoorah

Seek and destroy MEgan!!

MATTHEW Egan sneaked up on Geelong, which is just as he would have liked it. In modern football, the recruiting path is well-worn. From the under 18s to national junior titles to draft camps and hi-tech performance analysis, it is highly sophisticated. But Egan, picked at No. 62 in the national draft after two seasons kicking around in the VFL, came in through the back door.
