Zip Zip Man 60 today

Brett Kenny will always be my favorite Eel but there is always something special about the Zip Zip Man.... Compared to the Beatles Kenny was Lennon and Ella was Harrison...... This may sound silly but just wanted to remember him today.

  • Brilliant player, great gentleman who played with virtue and always in the spirit of the game. If you needed support in open play he'd be running right behind you.

  • Great combo With Cronin

    • The best, big man... small man combination.

  • Ella brothers changed Union forever and ZipZip was exceptional for Parra

  • Talk about support play and perfect positioning.

"Chris Sandow, Corey Norman, Dylan Brown come to mind immediately as all having gone off the rails to some extent whilst with us. And giving them more money is going to fix this? Crazy to think."
