Up the Coasters Eagles are the 2018 premiers!!!!

[WillieNillie]

Just a random point but I spoke to a member of the coaching staff (low down the rank but a part of it still) and he told me that Eagles wanted to play Richmond in the Grand Final more then anyone else in the final 4 (so moreso then Demons and Collingwood). They just thought we matched up on them well.

Also said the Demons were absolutely cooked. Players came in at quarter time and told the coaches "These guys are absolutely cooked". Even though we were only 29 points up the team knew it was over already

Interesting! Wonder why that was - pushed to extremes maybe just to scrape into the finals, and had nothing left. They had their GF against us a few weeks earlier at Optus and burnt up their petrol tickets.

We all get cooked sometimes.

Ever been to Groovin the Moo?

Forward Press.

I still feel staggered when someone mentions Waters and Butler as South Aussies.

Simpson, on the other hand, is forever a Victorian.

I too wanted Richmond, maybe in 2019

Schofield is Victorian. He seems like a bleed blue and gold type

Can’t believe it has been 12 weeks

I watched the preliminary final between Richmond and Collingwood for the first time today. Unfortunately I was overseas when it played out.
At the end of the game as the Richmond team are leaving the arena, one glorious campaigner is holding aloft an Eagles scarf to see them off in style.

 

[Abed]

dom sheeds left foot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahah

I bought the Blu-ray yesterday and just finished watching it with the 6PR audio. Before Sheed's kick, Hardie said something along the lines of "He has to run around, there's no way he can kick a drop punt from there." You all know what happened next.....

Lesson learned: don't listen to the 6PR audio again.

Does anyone have links to the biggest fail prediction threads about us at all where people had to eat s**t?

Thanks for that link.
As I said I was overseas at the time so that thread had disappeared into the pages of glorious arrogant campaigning by the time I had returned.

Did a little part of him sound like he was dying as he called the victory?

Thats gotta be worth wallowing in.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention Hardie barracking for the Magpies, and Karl writing us off after the 1st quarter. "Just look at their body language! This one's over! They're shot!"

Brad played for Collingwood, I don’t mind the barracking

[RookiePick]

Watched it again today because wtf not?

Second half we just seemed to have this steely resolve at every contest. We didn't win them all obviously but the indomitable will of the group seemed to wear Collingwood down to the point the Pies only managed to throw a couple of flurries. Pies looked likely for about 10 minutes of the last hour and the rest was a blue and gold wave that crested with 2.47 left on the clock and finally swept Collingwood to the side.

McGovern. Vardy. Ryan. Sheed.

McGovern. Vardy. Ryan. Sheed.

The greatest play of the greatest match of the greatest game

Christmas came early this year

P.S. We won the f***ing flag.

That looks brilliant

 

[Cuzz09]

I think the only thing better than 2018 would be a 2019 premiership where Darling kicks 7 and wins the Norm Smith.

I'd like a three-way Norm Smith tie: Nic Nat, Gaff and Shep.

Darling can still kick 7 and also take home the Coleman.
