Eskimo Slow

Eskimo Joe SweaterI guess you could do a lot worse. Daryl Somers (Geelong), Peter Costello (Essendon), Lleyton Hewitt (Adelaide), David Koch (Port). Those are some dodgy number one ticket holders.

Despite continual questions over their dress sense, local boys Eskimo Joe seem like a pretty decent fit for FFC in 2010. But they’ll have to deal with some initial skepticism from fans, or at least the unforgiving folk at TAAF, given their previous ties to West Coast.

We were pretty bitter when their song From the Sea graced an Eagles membership campaign a few years back. I mean, if they had to sell West Coast a song surely the old classic Sweater would have been more suitable. Picture a long line of blonde, slightly dense looking WC players. Each wearing that god awful blue and yellow. Then we hear the chorus ‘I could never, wear that sweater. I could never, wear that sweater’. It could have been beautiful!

But no. It was From the Sea. And it was Benny Cousins streaming toward goal. That’s some tough shit to forget.

But we will try Eskimo Joe. Just know your responsibility here. You represent us! Nervous much?

    Let’s also not forget that Joel is a self-confessed Essendon supporter. Jumped on the bandwagon, maybe? A few Eagles fans may yet decide to do the same, so I suppose we need to be open to this future onslaught of new fans… ;)

    You can’t sell your best song to West Coast, then become Freo’s number one ticket holder a couple of years later. Plus can three people be a ticket holder? When does the phrase need to become plural?
