Favourite Eagle, Ever

[KO_KO]

Would be interested to hear who your favourite ever Eagle has been?

Mine was Peter Matera, never forget him bouncing around the boundary and handballing in front of himself if he got tackled, was electrifying to watch. I've seen the bloke recently and he looks like he could still play, fit as a fiddle.

Bradd Dalziell. Closely followed by Tony Evans.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Definitely Peter, Matera.

Shuey will be close come the end of his career.

Not enough players do this!

Peter Matera was my sentimental favourite he got me supporting the Eagles as a kid, Cousins was inspirational and Kerr was brilliant.

However, Judd at his peak from 2004-2007 was my favourite Eagle ever.

Words couldn't describe what or how he did things.

Have to agree with this, Judd at his peak coincided with me really getting into the Eagles as a kid and he is still my favourite Eagle ever.
From current players Shuey and Naita are the standouts, whilst Yeo and Duggan are well on their way if they continue imporving on what they've shown so far.

Cousins.

Peter Matera....I really dont think there is that much difference between Roo & Judd at their peaks. Matera was a lifer for the Eagles.

Jakovich was mine as a kid, and then Matera. More recent times probably Cousins. I know he's stained his career, but in my eyes, having been roughly the same age as him in the early to mid 2000's, and doing the same sort of "stuff" he did, I always admired the fact he could actually function on the footy field and still play to an extremely high level. My efforts after a big one were nowhere near as great

Cousins. Just inspirational on the field and always lifted when we needed him. Also a great on-field leader.

Ever since he played number 9 has been my favourite guernsey number.

Except when he requested a trade to the Demons in 96.

Just a play for $$

Was worth every cent we paid him in the end!!

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Peter Matera. Wore number 30 on my basketball tops as a kid in the 90s.
A close second and my favorite player when Matera retired was Wirra.
Wirra would be the guy I'd most like to have a beer with. Loved watching him on and off the field. Funny campaigner.

 

[Shupe]

Benny Cuz. Nobody comes close.

 

[The Don't Argue]

1) Cuz
2) Tony Evans
3) Beau Waters

Judd probably should be in there but the last 8 years have dulled his lustre for me.
