Mate, I know you're an Eagles fan and therefore interested only in players' careers with West Coast, but surely you can't doubt the credentials of Malaxos or Todd to be in the set? They are both Greats of the Game, in my opinion. Especially Todd. I couldn't say the same for Langdon or Evans. Wirrpanda would be borderline for me.I couldn't agree more. I was hoping for a P.Matera, D.Kemp, J.Worsfold, C.Lewis, K.Langdon, T.Evans, D.Wirrpanda
Nup.
We get Ash Hansen. Yeah he was good in the 06 GF but he only played 78 games of footy for the club.
John Todd. He was so poor as the Eagles Head Coach in 89 we couldn't get him out the door quick enough.
Ross Glendinning. Sure he was our first captain but only played two seasons and was more a champion at North.
Steven Malaxos. Yep a total of 75 games of AFL.
At 140.00 a box with this kind of selection....
Yep, would have been nice for Eagles collectors to have a legitimate Eagles hero who played all their senior footy for the club, but I would have thought two former captains and two former coaches wasn't a bad start (* Malthouse is featured as a Pies coach, though).
As for Hansen, he was the one I was referring to as a "club servant" in an earlier post. Not my cuppa tea, but (as a few people have said in this thread) each to their own.
I'll probably chase the Todd, Walker, Malaxos, Glendinning, Jimmy Melbourne and Peake cards. Might even pick up Hansen and Zanotti on the cheap
Yeah, not all players are those I would have picked, but at least there are a few things here for me to be excited about. And gee I would love to pull a Dick Reynolds sig card, just for the rarity!
