As the 2010s draw to a close, what is the biggest moment from the Eagles in the 2010s.
For me it has to be the 2018 premiership by the length of the Flemington Straight. Written off at the start of the season with media personality Robert Walls tipping us to win the wooden spoon, we defied preseason expectations to finish top 2 with a 16-6 record and overcoming adversity including the losses of Andrew Gaff to suspension and Nic Nat to an ACL injury plus Brad Sheppard’s hamstring in week 1 of the 2018 Finals.
In the Grand Final despite conceding 5 goals in the first quarter, we managed to overcome that deficit to beat Collingwood by 5 points in a thriller in front of 100,024 people despite Collingwood leading for most of the game. McGovern>Vardy>Ryan>Sheed>Premiership. It was our high point of our 33 year history.
Honourable mentions
- Nic Nat’s Mark of the year, 2015
- Liam Ryan’s Mark of the year, 2019
- From wooden spoon to Prelim Finalists, 2011
- Woosha departs, Simmo take charge, 2013
- Landing Tim Kelly, 2019
- Nic’s mark and goal after the siren vs North, 2013
- Shuey’s goal after the siren in ET vs Port
