It just made it all the more poetic in that play when he took the mark of the day and still had the awareness to move it on quickly to set up the winning goal.

By that logic shirking the contest would be choosing to wrong foot an opponent instead of trying to break their oncoming tackle. Swings and roundabouts I guess....or maybe I can't accept that Ryan (being the GOAT) would shirk a contest...That is shirking the contest. Spent it before he had it. Tried to be too fancy by avoiding the contact to run on and kick a goal. If it comes off, no one bats an eye lid, but he didn't. The whole move was to avoid contact, that's shirking the contest. He should have held is line, marked and taken out the player and had the set shot. Or dropped the mark and cleaned up the player. He would have walloped him too.
Huge Kudos to turn it around mid game, that mark in the last quarter where he hits the post, he would have had self doubts for sure.By that logic shirking the contest would be choosing to wrong foot an opponent instead of trying to break their oncoming tackle.

I still don't know how he got that mark, pure freakish ability. Bring on round 1Huge Kudos to turn it around mid game, that mark in the last quarter where he hits the post, he would have had self doubts for sure.
He's kind of right, you can see it in the video on this pageBuckley in an interview said the reason Vardy was unmarked in THAT play was that he had slipped over, so when he popped back up he was on his own but had 3 or 4 Pies players within a few meters.
Stars align...
campaigning begins
Which play? Can you set the scene?It just made it all the more poetic in that play
Six months on and i still find it hard to believe we won that granny in 2018 with everything that went against us during the season, that is why this will always be my favourite grand final win we have had, no where near a star studded team, but a star studded attitude. Still get a little emotional when i watch the game again, and i have watched it a few times , and whilst i would love a back to back, nothing will ever take away what i felt on that day, and still do to this day in regards to our 2018 season.
I'm convinced he was trying to kick it to Rioli and Sheed happened to slip in front.Langdon had played such a good game and was trying to hold up the play cleverly when Ryan marked. Suddenly he has his pocket picked and is laying in the ground while Ryan spots up Sheed for the winner.
Tough game footy
Definately what happened I reckonI'm convinced he was trying to kick it to Rioli and Sheed happened to slip in front.

I'm pretty sure he spotted up Sheed and simultaneously assessed that Rioli was in a position to lay a block that was subtle enough to fool the umpire. Awesome footy vision.
You missed his awesome hanger at the death. Honestly you take that game from a forward pocket every day of the week. Could have ended with 4 goalsYep always thought this, he was already thinking about spinning around the player before he completed the mark too clever for his own good there unfortunately, similar to Darling in the final minute spending it before he had it.
Was also surprised about Ryan getting widely bagged for having a bad game. Was instrumental in Hutchings goal, JK's awesome snap goal, and Sheeds. Also his sweet shirtfront on Maynard really made a line in the sand statement for the team. He's only a first year player FFS! Really hope he can stay on track and realise his full potential.
It was one of, if not the very best, season I’ve watched as an Eagle supporter.Six months on and i still find it hard to believe we won that granny in 2018 with everything that went against us during the season, that is why this will always be my favourite grand final win we have had, no where near a star studded team, but a star studded attitude.

It's funny, if the media weren't so obsessed with certain East Coast fairytales, ours was pretty special.It was one of, if not the very best, season I’ve watched as an Eagle supporter.
2019 has so much to live up to!
Did they go back 2 back?Fun fact i just realised, a couple of years ago Perth Wildcats had to wait until their 2nd game of the following season to unveil their championship banner at home because they got scheduled to play away for their first game against (coincidentally) .... Brisbane
