Rock-blogger buddies, what’s happening?

Hopefully you’ve gone back to school after an awesome holiday and are ready for the final stretch of the year!

It’s pretty quiet here on the footy front at the moment. Some of the guys from the club are over in Melbourne for Trade Period, trying to see if there are any new Eagles floating around at other clubs.

We had the 2017 John Worsfold Medal last Friday and it was such a brilliant night. We said farewell to some of my oldest buddies in Pridda and Sam Butler, as well as some of my newer mates in Sam Mitchell, Drew Petrie and big ‘Joffa’ Giles. Thanks for letting me train with you all over the years! I’m sure you’ve learned as much from me as I have from you. Haha, just kidding.

A big congratulations to all the players who won awards, but an extra special hip-hip-hooray goes to my mate Elliot Yeo for winning the 2017 John Worsfold Medal. He had such a super year, so it was good to see him rewarded with the ‘Woosha’. Yeoy was running away with the award before the big ‘Gov’ came home strong to take second place.

Now, just a reminder that we’ve got a cool giveaway for the first 100 rock-blogger buddies who renew their Rick’s Rookies or Eagles Rising Stars membership, or join as a member for the 2018 season. Head over to this page – get Mum or Dad to enter in your details and then go on through to join or renew. It’s as simple as that!

Until next time, have a ripper couple of weeks, enjoy school, and remember that even though the footy season has finished, keep yelling GO EAGLES!

Rick
