West Coast midfielder Elliot Yeo reckons Jack Redden has been the "best-on ground" in the post-premiership celebrations, and says the team is still having a laugh over Jack Darling's dropped mark in the grand final. The Eagles are still in celebration mode after pipping Collingwood by five points in last Saturday's grand final. More than 40,000 fans welcomed the team back to Perth on Sunday, and the players have been lapping up their premiership success.
Darling's dropped mark near the goalsquare in the dying stages of the grand final could have cost West Coast victory. It brought back memories of his dropped mark in the third quarter of the 2015 grand final, with that error costing the team dearly. But luckily for Darling the drop didn't matter this time around. "The boys were celebrating as JD's almost marked it," Yeo told 96FM on Wednesday. "We thought, 'He'll take this and go back and kick it'. And then he fumbles it. We have a bit of a laugh about it now."
