Eel Elphingstone
With all the doom and gloom posts, I thought I'd offer up Robert Elphingstone.
Saw the Eel yesterday in his new guise as the Trainer for the Beverley Hills Under 15s. He still looks like he could get a game at centre half back, although maybe the grey hair might give him away!!
His son looked like a goer also.
Good bloke Eel. Ripper bloke.

I played in the Seaford U14's with him and he was by no means one of the best players in that team
but he was the only one who went on and not only that became an excellent defender in a team that was mostly under the pump throughout his whole career
bumped into him a couple of years ago and he was as charming as ever, had a bit of a limp at the time, hope the leg is all good now

The Eel was GT's runner for awhile but he'd been in such a good paddock
he mostly sat on the bench,in his flouro green outfit..spoke to the coach and shuffled the names on the board,he used to have a kick in the warm up before the game at the dome as well..........
It was when we had the runner that ended up at North,can't remember his name though......

The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

Money in engineering? I wish!
Eel was my favourite player - no surprises working that out from my tag
. Very underated - Strong mark, could run. Got slowed down some later by the leg injuries - played the later years with a permanent heavy bandage round his thigh. In a stronger side would have played forward alot more, but we needed him in defence.
Gutsy as they come.

Kent Hannam was the North runner under Pagan, came to St Kilda under Blight and Thomas, then went back to North under Laidley. Saw him on the tv coverage last week doing the bench board match ups.bobmurray wrote:The Eel was GT's runner for awhile but he'd been in such a good paddock

He also coaches Fitzroy Doncaster in the Premier League Cricket I believe.

Re: Eel Elphingstone
Hey what a co-incidence, I also played with Robbie back in the Seaford U14's, perhaps we should hook up sometimeRix4eva wrote: absolutely
