Well hello there fans!

I’ve missed you all so much. Has everyone been well? I’m pretty good, the break was certainly nice – I managed to head down south and catch a few waves. Don’t know if you realised that as well as star Eagles mascot, I’m also a world-class surfer? Cowabunga dudes!

But I definitely missed watching the boys last weekend. Footy’s just not the same without the big birds on the track!

Luckily, we’re back this weekend. And looking the goods too, might I say. The fellas had a bit of a rest over the bye, but they’ve been hard at it with a real buzz around the club too. Bring on the second half of the season!

This week, we’re heading up to the Northern Territory for our first official AFL match up there, and taking on the in-form Dees. They’re also coming off a break, but before that they scored a great win, defeating Geelong. It’s going to be a tough task, especially in the Darwin heat! I can’t stand the humidity; it really messes up my feathers. I’m sure the boys will step up to the challenge though.

I bet all you kids out there are crazy excited that school holidays starts next week? Have you got some good stuff planned? Don’t forget, the Rick’s Rookies Training Day is coming up on Wednesday, July 15, and I’d love to see you all there. If you haven’t already RSVP’d call the club on 9388 4566. I’ve got some special games and dance moves in store for everyone on the day.

For now – I’m off to the big D!

Go Eagles!
