It's not even gloat worthy anymore.
Theses lads are a result of a win at all costs culture & a media too scared or dazzled to challenge the big club in town.
(Which has never been properly addressed)

Sold their soul to the devil for a couple of years of fame & fortune.
Now the keys to the city have been returned & we have these guys who are just husks of humanity passing their pain onto their offspring.
Human fodder so the machine could win a premiership & make millions more $$..yay

Fully agree.

Really well summed up.

It’s really interesting the whole Eagles history & that word ‘Culture’, that was big on here a few months ago. sh*t culture doesn’t always mean failure.

They were allowed to do what they wish because they were protected by Uncle Trev, but didn’t realise that once you leave the club, that protection disappears.

I really wish a local media person would dig into Trev & his conduct over the years & I’d be happy to get them started.

No WA media person would dare take on the Godfather!

You know what really grinds my gears about the filth... They have never had to answer to the conduct and bullshit through that whole era. In fact they've manage to make a celebrity out of a scumbag criminal who if never played footy would be ignored and forgotten like the rest of the scumbag criminals in jail. And Teflon Worsfold, Trev and to a lesser degree the media all have blood on their hands.. no wonder scum supporters are all so illogical and volotile, they've been through alot

Media from Josh Carr:

Uhhhhh...Me thinks Joshy has had a few too many head knocks. I think he's confusing Big Sandi with another former player...or we have a new ruck coach I wasn't aware of. Haha.

I’ve heard Sandi referred to as spider in the past but you’re right there should only ever be one spider!

Burton, Everitt, Sandi. All go by the same nickname. It’s a ruckman thing. I’m sure there are others.

Sandi is definitely called “spider” As well. Shows a lack of imagination but .

Peter Street was as tall but don't ever recall him being endowed with the nickname. Probably because he was pretty sh*t, comparatively.

Tuned in the ABC sports talkback for a little while this afternoon. Massive news - Donny of Spearwood has crossed over from 6pr.

Did he say he’s done with 6PR.

 

[stax on the mull]

Don't think so.

I wasn't hanging on every word but his talking points were i) I agree with you 100% Kim suck suck ii) something about GWS never being a club with a viable supporter base because its located in Lebanon and iii) that Willie Rioli didn't tamper with his urine test - which Clint corrected afterwards.

I'm not making this up - the next caller was Jerry from Westmister. I stayed for the Hayley Miller post game interview and switched off.

Sandi a family man

He never wanted to stand out in a crowd, and while that seems impossible for a man 211cm tall, Aaron Sandilands prefers a low profile and the family life

Cheers!

But I still don't recall anyone ever calling him that. There's only one "spider" I associate with Freo... Maybe I got knocked in the head too many times.

 

[Deveraux]

Perhaps, Sandi is definitely spider

 

[WilloTree]

In other news, Sumich now requires major dental surgery after saying the above through the grittiest of gritted teeth ever.

haha. Massive news breaker old Suma. He's basically just said that if Fremantle can win games they can make the 8.

Well, blow me down.

1- Anthony Rocca
2- Leigh Matthews
4- Gary Ablett Jnr
5- Dan Parker
6- Matthew Hogg

Gotta be honest, I think this list has it nailed better than the one in the rag today

This gave me a chuckle.

Ummm maybe Josh Carr for one, as per press conference. I’ve heard Shauny Mac call him spider plenty of times.

 

[Scham]

Sandilands nickname is Spider

Yep, get the head checked mate.
