yeah 2017 season eagles snuck in, Got 8th spot instead of the demons. Eagles beat Port in Adelaide oval in that elim final in 2017.2017 we just scraped into finals and looked like going nowhere after retiring Priddis, Mitchell, Petrie, Mackenzie. We blooded a whole bunch of new players in 2018 and were a completely different side. A lot can change in one off season.
Weve got 5 draft picks in the first 3 rounds this year. No reason we can’t be contending again next season with a new game plan and some fresh faces.
2018: Eagles were $40 for the flag. I got an Eagles mate that lives around the Port Adelaide area (dont ask the back story lol). Put a drunk bet on it $100 to be exact. eagles won the flag in 2018.
2019: Eagles were still in line for top 4, possibly top 2. Faced Richmond at the MCG. lost narrowly then lost to the hawks in Perth the next week.
Adam Simpson of 2018, Reminds me scarily to John Worsfold in 2006. Both won their respective flags narrowly.Except this time he won’t have a don pyke (2015)or Sam Mitchell(2018) to help him.
Outside those times he hasn’t even been able to get top 4 , often with better lists.
I’m starting to think simpsons not as good as coach as is often made out to be
1st off Tim Kelly is Born July 26 1994. Turns 27 next week.The Kelly trade will haunt. Turns 28 next year.
Pick 5 14, 24 lost.
Actually..... It was tim Kelly and a 2020 3rd rounder.
Cats got Picks 14, 24 and 33 and Eagles 2020 1st rounder. Was way overs considering Dangerfield went to the crows for picks 10, 28 and dean gore.
As heavy as the price that the Tim Kelly trade is, It wont set them back 4-6 years.
Its not like freos trading from 2000-06 when freo traded heavily for Peter Bell in 2000, Des Headland in 2002 and Josh Carr in 2004.
