West Coast Turkeys

[EaglesFlyingHigh.com]

A number of senior Eagles players behaved more like teenagers on an end of school trip to Rottnest while staying at a Broome resort this week. Two of the three who were evicted from the resort were in Broome to conduct - get this - "role model" clinics.


For Ashley McIntosh, it's starting to become a bit of a habit. He's been arrested in Broome once before for creating a disturbance at his accomodation.

Although no police action was required this time around, McIntosh, along with Chad Fletcher and Andrew Embley, won't have made too many friends in the north with two nights of noisy rampaging around the resort.

The players were warned after complaints about noise in the early hours of Monday morning, then were evicted after more complaints the next night.

While it's understandable that the players want to let off some steam after months of high intensity training (not that they have much to celebrate), there's no excuse for disturbing other people's holidays. It'd be nice if McIntosh could have the same staying-power on the field that he seems to be able to display in the nightclub.

I read about that yesterday, very dissapointing. I would of expected a bit better from McIntosh. Embley and Fletcher are still young, so its normal, but McIntosh.......

I'm very dissapointed. Its only a matter of time before Sabre comes in here giving us shi_t about this.

I'd be surprised if we heard from any Dockers about this - <cough>modra<cough>

I think I heard somewhere on the weekend (sorry - too much alcohol consumption - can't remember where) that the club had only disciplined Embley, and that McIntosh was staying at a different hotel.

This could all be bull$hit, either way. Nothing in it, but highlighted because they're footballers or they've behaved like drongoes and rightly pilloried.

Don't know. Almost don't care. As long as they play better next year (and I'm talking to you, Andrew Embley).
