The Tiger's were vulnerable without Taranto (and other injuries) but full credit to the sandgropers they stood tall when it counted. Keep up the content . Best wishes
Of course Butters has nothing to answer for…head contact isn't a problem!.. when you're a 🏅 fave 😐 🤦♂️
Brilliantly done.
The Eagles won!!! Yeo and Harley on 🔥🔥🔥. I am not getting ahead of myself but I am booking tickets to Melbourne for late September. Sorry, almost forgot Watermelon !🍉 Sorry, Waterman.
Two tough losses for the Dockers in Adelaide. But I'm confident that Freo will turn their season around as they face West Coast next week. For Fremantle they have their defense good, their midfield is flying but on the forward line they aren't taking their chances on goal execution. This week the objective is to gain some target practice up forward. Amiss needs to score at least a bag to catch up to Hogan, Curnow and Fritsch on the Coleman Medal race. Speaking up The Eagles congratulations on the win against Richmond, it was a win not only for the club but the fans as well and showing growth in their rebuild. Here's a question for you Cindye, who do you reckon will win the Allen-Glenndinnig Medal in the Westen Derby next week.
Another great wrap Cin. I'm enjoying the backdrops.
I live in Perth and I swear it's like everyone got a bit over the weekend. Everyone is just a little bit happier.
It's been a long time since West Coast fans have seen a win, and a nice win it was. I shouldn't judge. I think I'm just a little upset by that loss to the Crows. The Crows ffs.
Keep knocking them out of the park Cin.
The Eagles are happy, they more footage to add to highlights package which will be rerun for the next 20 years.
Excellent stuff Cindye!! Question. Can the mighty Cats beat Brisbane? Go Cats!!
Hello Cindye. How is it that one Western Australian team can be so entertaining and yet the other be so, "Fremanltle" Just in case you don't know, the word "Fremantle' is indigenous and is actually two words put together. "fre-mantle" "fre" mean void of and "mantle" which means Entertainment. In South Australia, we just refer to them as boring. Premierships are won by scoring goals and the they will never win one with that style. It was nice to see a genuine happy smile when you spoke of your team. Winning is good for all of the Eagles supporters and your son Harley, is a star. Congratulations. Take care…
Well done WCE a very big win in front of a big crowd 50 thousand Perth is going to party all week
So good 😂
Also, love the hair!
I'am very impressed with your knowledge of AFL and love your humorous comments, great fun.
Enjoy your work, plus you make me laugh 😃 from a Collingwood supporter 😊
After the games have completed for the weekend, I then can not wait for my unbiased comments and round up from AFL in LA. My high light of the round, What the eagles up.
Great stuff!! You can thank A Yank on the Footy Podcast for gaining yourself a new fan! Keep up the great work!😊
