Jury’s out on Saturday I reckon, being from Perth I think the Grand Final at the G is unrivalled as far as sporting experiences go. Went as a neutral in 2009, it was unreal. That said the 2018 prelim at Optus during the day felt a lot like a Grand Final. Similar atmosphere, jam packed crowd.
I...
The team logos are no longer on the 50m arcs, instead on the wing for 2021. I’m only assuming Telstra’s advertising has completely taken over on the 50m arc, how much advertising can we bloody have on a field?
I’m always fascinated by stats like this, either Melbourne end the streak or the Bulldogs become the first team to win from 5th in the current finals system. Both teams capable of staying at the top for many years to come, going to be a ripping grand final and hopefully a close one for the...
In the past 11 years only 1 team has finished as minor premier and then gone on to salute on Grand Final day. 6 since the turn of the century.
Essendon 2000
Port Adelaide 2004
West Coast 2006
Geelong 2007
Collingwood 2010
Hawthorn 2013
Is top spot cursed? Are Melbourne going to break the...
2011 sadly gets forgotten in these discussions as the last quarter was all Geelong, but before 3/4 time there was a plethora of big moments. Travis Cloke nailing two massive bombs, Krakouer, Varcoe’s goal in the first 15 seconds, Bartel’s snap, Tom Hawkins making a name for himself.

Incredibly lucky to have a ticket for the Grand Final, second one I’m attending as a neutral (the last being 2009). On one hand the Dees breaking the drought would be special, gutted for Jones but Neale Daniher seeing his team win would be heartwarming.
I’m good friends with a few relatives of...
2007 makes me shudder, two heartbreaking losses to be knocked out of the finals, letting Essendon creep back into our final H&A game to kill off our percentage and chance of finishing 2nd. Injuries galore. Judd hitting the eject button and struggling through the QF with his groin. Ben’s hammy...
Jumping on the Dees wagon, they were phenomenal on Friday night, brilliant atmosphere for the Prelim at Optus and hopefully the same in a fortnight's time. Would love to have the opportunity to go if a Dees member/AFL Silver member can't attend and would happily share their code. Hopefully our...
Are you allowed to share membership barcodes with non-members? Was hoping someone from Victoria would be able to share their AFL Silver code so that I can go with my partner who has a brother in Victoria who can't go.
2005 Qualifying Final, one of my personal favourite games, would've had more praise if we went onto win the flag that year. Hunter and Sampi huge in the last quarter, one of the loudest crowds ever at Subi.
Cox’s game winning mark against the Dogs came to mind a few days ago so that will definitely get a run on there. Love these ideas, will definitely filter through some footage in the next few days! That 2006 semi had some champagne football, some of the best I’ve ever seen.
That said, I need...
Hi everyone,
With all of the spare time I have during these times, I decided to make use of my hobby watching classic Eagles moments/highlights from over the years and sharing them in minute or less videos on an Instagram account - @theochreeagle. Would really appreciate some following, sharing...
Over the moon! We had to pay up for his services and I think it’s worth it due to our premiership window being open, great to see us keep the foot down for another flag chance. Can’t wait for Round 1!
Two games against Richmond, arguably the best game of the year this year. Been the last 3 premierships between us and only faced each other once all 3 years.
Round 4 2012, West Coast 5.21 (51) def. Hawthorn 5.16 (46)
A very anticipated game at Subi, absolutely bucketed down, I had no rain jacket and sat through a genuinely horrendous game.
Well played Geelong, just better than us for 4 quarters. Tonight summed up our year, just inconsistent, really good to watch in patches but not good enough. Hopefully the rest of the finals provide some close games!
Disappointed but not our year really, just too inconsistent. Still a proud Eagles member, last year was special, hopefully we don’t have to wait much longer for another chance. Heads up everyone.
Yesterday was a massive kick in the guts, I felt sick. But still we have to keep the faith, we’ve overcome so much adversity in the past, why not again tonight? I’m sensing a memorable victory tonight by 7 points, let’s get em.
I feel like this will be a nail biter, I am quiet nervous just like every final we play but I’m feeling good despite the fact we’re playing the minor premier. History isn’t on our side, but then again it’s there to be rewritten.
Hopefully the Eagles with their recent MCG successes and...
