RED HOT EAGLES
THE EAGLES played at home to second placed
Coburg Districts in front of a big crowd and
again proved too strong, winning by 18 goals.
The Eagles were well in front at three quarter
time, and then slammed on 10 goals to zero to
finish off the opposition. With a bye next week,
the Eagles then go to Albanvale on 2 June.
The Reserves team lost its first game this
season, to undefeated Coburg Districts in a
battle to the final siren.
With the two top teams playing at Yarraville Oval, a large crowd came along to watch the game.
Many former players also came along to watch, including Don Brown, a champion Seddon player
who won the competition Best and Fairest award several times in the 1970s. Geoff Norris, a regular
at Eagles games, also enjoyed the big win. He played for Yarraville Eagles from 1972 to 1982.
Yarravilles 1997 and 2000 premierships player, John Bruzzaniti also saw the game. Yarravilles
presidents from those two years, Ian Leckie and Arthur Paris, were in the crowd too. Glenn Calvert,
who played with Yarraville in the late 1970s under AFL legends David Thorpe and Denis Pagan,
travelled from Bairnsdale to see the Eagles win. Other former players at the game were Mark
Baulch, Greg Wray and Daniel Condon. Nathan Anstey listened to the live radio broadcast on WYN
FM from Mexico via the internet!
