The Pie Shop: Publicity Or Ability - The Pie Shop

As an avid supporter and player over the years in EOS i have to think of players present and past. Over the last few years it appears that more notice is being taken of the EOS, and with that, more players taking the step up to SFL, and knocking back the juniors(or being overvalued!). This is all great, and publicity all good. So...is it publicity or ability that has got the players the opportunity?? Some good examples over the years are, Bird(who did make a season out of the upper leagues), McLaren, Bennett, Brown, McGovern, MacNamara, Hobbins, Scott, Montgomerie, McKeating, Adams, Knox, Knott, MacLeod. I'm sure there are many many more......i'm sure i will offend a few, so i'm sorry!
