Reminds us how special that 1992 team were and how only winning 2 flags in that period may be viewed as underachieving
Yup it was brilliant, it showed his strenghts in a very small package.
So clean and smart football thinking. He released it to Yeo. 7 showed a replay and i thought they were going to mention it and say what class it showed from the youngster. Alas no, they simply go on about how thats where maynard hurt his shoulder and miss the quality football.
If Dusty or a media darling did that play they would be jizzing and fawning for days

DV is developing quite nicely imo, thought he was actually pretty effective on GF day. Not worried about his low disposal count just yet, but confident it'll come good next season, but he's proven that he can still offer pretty good service even with few disposals.

How's this looking now one amongst BOG in carving up Eagles other struggling at WAFL level .
For DVs sake I hope he makes a successful career in AFL , maybe as a Premiership player he already has.
Where do people see DV fitting into Eagles going forward , best position ?

One played a crucial role in a premiership team and has a medal around his neck, while the other was dropped in a middling
ladder team at the same time. Things change quickly.
Congrats on the win yesterday and I personally love SPP as a player, but to gloat after a one off performance is a bit much.

Lets not get carried away
lol fair call with the "crucial" part I guess, but he played a role, and its fair to say the fwd line has lacked a fair bit of grunt since he's been out of it.
Also the not getting carried away part could equally apply to the Port poster gloating after a Rd 5 game

Give bad boy SPP some cred, the big oaf was good against us while Venables took his disappearing act from the AFL to the WAFL.
Spp wouldnt fit at the eagles (usually) we are about precise kicking - the turnovers hed cause would break our system down

Maybe porttoport is SPP.
An absolutely shithouse kick, that wouldn't improve WC as a side.
I am and have been probably the biggest criticizer of Venables all the way through however the game last night was perfectly tailored to show off SPP's strengths and hide his weaknesses. If SPP played in the 80's he would be a superstar. Problem is i just don't see his kicking ever being quality.
(and yes i was an advocate of drafting him. well either him, drew or gallucci as i wasn't big on berry either i just thought he would be a middling at best inside mid so i obviously had s**t for brains that year with my drafting)
I'm pretty sure I actually wanted Drew and Rotham for our first two picks. (Well i really wanted Taranto and he just kept rising and rising and rising) In some ways I can see the venables choice as an easy one by WCE, Taranto and Venables played very similarly when on the park and Taranto jumped up the rankings with great performances while Venables continued to be injured and tease a similar level of ability. To me just doesn't have the game sense. Right attitude, right attributes, right size, doesn't have the game sense and it's very easy to see how that happens missing so much of the most important development years due to injury.

Personally Berry seems like more of a loss than SPP.
SPP is fun to watch as an oppo supporter, but probably not so much for Port fans. His kicking would surely drive them up the wall sometimes.
