Started slow, Elliot Yeo,
Howling breeze, lots of frees
Masten Chrissy, rain is pissy
Simmo, Rawlings, Woosh-Sha Who?
Three goals three, good to see
Luke Shuey, Naitanui
Butler Sam, Welling Ham
Mr Wrap, this game’s crap, Aven-ging Eag-le
We didn’t start on fire
It’s a slow fuse burning
Got my stomach churning
We didn’t start on fire
Still we lead by two
Got a lot to do
Jamie Cripps, wet ball slips
Hutchings, Hill, boots to fill
Callum ruck, Gold Coast suck
Does Duggan shave, Jesus save? Mira-cles hap-pen
Eagles burn, Shannon Hurn
Andrew Gaff, start to laugh
Mark LeCras, head to bar
Game is won, Setting Sun, Who we got? – Saints next
We’ve just started to fire
Now the Eagles working
While the Suns are jerking
We’ve just started to fire
Half time by six
Got some midfield tricks
Harley Bennell, Queensland hell
Jamie Bennell, winning well
Tale two city, Rocket shitty
Wet dreams, both Perth teams, Subi-Ac-Co
Twelve goals straight, worth the wait
Josh got four, need no more
Rest JK, mice can play
Cold as hell, winning well, O J Time
We’ve lit a forest fire
Now the win is certain
Rocket Eade is hurtin’
We’ve lit a forest fire
We kicked twelve goals straight
Game is on the plate
Junk time, ladder climb
Priddis leather, shitty weather
Suns kick four, Stop no more
Sheppard, Sheed, Suns can bleed
Schofield Will, time to kill
Fraser Mac, Darling’s back
Selwood Scott, find a spot?
Five and two, Overdue, Win-ning feeling
We’ve got a winning feeling
‘Cos our seasons turning
Every week we’re learning
We’ve got a finals feeling
Playing in September
It’s good to remember

Way to go Mr B. Way to go. Nothing like setting the old town alight, eh? BIT at last. AE must be stoked.
The Chardonnay set will be loving this,i think i am going to puke
Yep Wrap there are more resurrection stories at the Eagles than in the 4 gospels. What a difference a good coach makes. Grumpy grey haired, balding old blokes like Rocket and the Maltster should be up in the stands with other grumpy grey haired old blokes………………….like you and me. You can tell when teams want to play for the coach – they don’t chuck it in when they are struggling. Saints are a good example.
Thanks Snowman – a good purgative always helps clean out the bile in the system. Glad I could help. Catchy little tune eh – a real earworm. Can’t help but keep hearing it – “Eagles are on fire; Now we’re going higher…………………………………..”
I’m not sure that will help you Snowman.
Do you barrack for Hawthorn?
Good one PB
mind you Le Cras is more your Uptown Girl
Cheers
TR
Have only ever barracked for the ONE side
PB,
Love the creative dance.
The story.
The way.
How good are the Eagles, anyway?
We might be the 4th best team in the comp with Darling and hopefully Scott Selwood back mid season. North Melbourne, Geelong and Essendon in the next month will be a fair barometer. Top middle or bottom middle? We might be the 10th best.
Time will tell.
My gut says 6-8 given our reasonable draw. Our strength is contested ball. pressure, run from defence and josh kennedy.
Our weakness is size at the back, and it will be interesting to see if Buddy, Tippett, Tomahawk, Cloke (I’m predicting 1-7) can exploit it. And whether Rance or Hooker can contain JK.
First world problems after our last 2 seasons. Simmo is a genius, and all new coaches need to be under 45 and have the Clarko pedigree.
Bret Ratten must be worth a squillion with his pedigree now. Turned a sow’s ear into a silk purse at Carlton but they were too bloated to recognise it; plus now the Clarko finishing school.
The old water buffaloes like Mick, Rocket neither understand the modern game or can get young players to follow them. Too much fear and defence.
Very well done PB for the Eagles to have lost 2 key defenders and performing the way they are has been brilliant.Does the stupidity of McKenzies non all Aust selection last year help McGovern this year ? ( glad you picked a good song )
