And to think...

[94_Eagles]

We still have Butler, Hansen, Cuz, Nicoski, Gaspar and Gardiner to come back into the side.

We are starting to build some real depth... cornerstone of the very good teams.

Every team has their injuries... the team that copes with them the best become the best.

A great win and proof that next year we are a serious top 4 side.

6 of the last 7 and 3 in a row

I'll be disappointed if we aren't top four next year.

When the boys prove we can win and stand up for ourselves in melbourne then i will say we are top 4 material, but top 6 should be in our reach next year and "hopefully" a home final (if its ok with you Mr Demetriou).

I think we have shown enough this year to be a definite top 4 side next year. If someone said to me at the start of the year that Cousins will miss 5 games, Embley 4 and Gardiner the entire season. I would have said finals football was nothing but a dream. But here we are on the verge of finals footy.

Our youngsters have taken absolutely giant steps this season with guys like Butler, Jones, Nicoski, Seaby, McDougall, Waters, Staker, Hansen and Lynch all super impressive. Im saying it now...im totally convinced that we will be a power to be reckoned with next season.

No doubt this year has been a classic case of step back, to take two or more forward.

Future is looking great
