The Eagles - Draft, Judd, Sponsors and more
Some quick links for you:
- Tigers not out of Judd picture - good move by the Tigers to put pressure on Carlton in the Judd stakes. Good news for the Eagles prospects.
- “Ratten said it was exciting for him as a first-year coach to get the best midfielder in the competition, “and maybe the best in the past 15 to 20 years”" - but not worth the no1 pick?
- Eagles struggle to hold sponsors - another none too subtle dig at the Eagles “culture”. Lame.
- West Coast Eagles worry Cotchin’s father - makes you wonder how they breed them in Melbourne. You hear the WA boys says invariably “I don’t care where I go”. Increasingly Melbourne boys “don’t want to leave my friends and family”.

Nice article with the Cotchin quotes, although I take anything in the Hun with a grain of salt. If they’re true, though, Cotchin snr must have a pretty big Collingwood blind spot … poor Didak was just unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, while the Eagles club culture worries him? Sheesh.
