Crazy decade.

Ultimate low in 2010, ultimate high in 2018. Bunch of ups and downs throughout the other years, and unfortunately ended on another sour note with Willie-gate(orade).
 
2010: Spoon (4-18)
2011: Prelim Final (18-7)
2012: Semi Final (16-8)
2013: 13th (9-13)
2014: 9th (11-11)
2015: Runner Up (18-1-6)
2016: Elimination Final (16-7)
2017: Semi Final (13-11)
2018: Premiers (19-6)
2019: Semi Final (16-8)

Played: 236
Won: 140

Goals:

2010: 63 Lecca
2011: 59 JK
2012: 53 JD
2013: 60 JK
2014: 61 JK
2015: 80 JK (Coleman Medal)
2016: 82 JK (Coleman Medal)
2017: 69 JK
2018: 48 JD
2019: 59 JD

Interestingly that throughout the 2010s the lowest individual goalkicker was JD with 48 in 2018... a premiership year.

Says a lot about spreading the load.

Going to have a crack at ranking our seasons, although it's pretty self explanatory:

2018
2015
2011
2012
2019
2016
2017
2014
2013
2010

I rank 2012 over 2019 because we had many more injuries later in the season that year, where as in 2019 we just choked late in the h and away season

I'd have 2017 above 2016 due to finals. Luke shuey after the siren was epic. All I remember about 2016 was us never really getting going until the last round, to subsequently piss it all away against bullflogs in a final.

Yeah a finals win in 17 could make you think it outranks 16 but we went 16-6 in 16 and thats normally top 4 min. Was a crazy even season.

3 teams finished 16-6. We had the lowest %.... again

Fairly good decade.

Best player this decade?

80's - Glenndinning
90's - Matera
00's - Cousins/Judd/Cox
10's - Kennedy? McGovern? Priddis? Hurn?
Kennedy I reckon

Premiership player
6 x leading goal scorer
2 x Coleman
3 x All Australian
Vice Captain (Captained the club in 2014)
All time leading goal scorer
 
Call me crazy but I'd have 2010 above 2013. 2010 was shite obviously but we had some injuries and the young blokes gave it their all. In most games we fought it out until the better side would pile the goals on in the last quarter.

2013 we were favourites and were carrying guys who were hoping for one last hurrah. Didn't have many injuries and we were getting flogged by average teams at home. It was way more deflating than 2010 ever was.
 
True.

2010 we lost a bunch of games by under a goal and another few by 3-4 goals.

It wasnt really a wooden spoon side I remember thinking at the time.

The rebound into 2011 wasnt as surprising to Eagles fans as it was to others at the time.

Plus 2010 gave us this...

Makes you wonder what 2016 could've been for us as we were rolling with some huge momentum going into the finals. Wins against GWS, Hawthorn & a red hot Adelaide at the time looked like we could be in for a good ride. The dogs regained several quality players with the extra week off and stalled our hot run. Taking nothing away from that amazing run the dogs had, it would've been interesting to see how we would've gone if the pre finals bye didn't come in until another year (Thanks Ross).

I really enjoyed 2011 for the rise of the youngsters coming through who would ultimately be the pillars in our 4th premiership last year. Shuey, JK, JD, Schoey etc.

Not sure about last year but this year we had the lowest spread of goal kickers in the league by a long way.
