Toast Most Underrated Eagles Moments

[HoneyBadger35]

During Simmo’s presser today, he gave Big Ezy plenty of praise and highlighted he still has a role to play this season. Simmo mentioned that it wasn’t too long ago, Eric saved our season.



That was such an incredibly smart, composed decision that set up one of the most memorable finishes in Eagles history.

We all recognised how important that play was at the time, but the further removed from September we get, the less coverage it gets. Always nice to remember just how huge that moment was.

With that in mind, let’s shine a light on some massive moments in club history that don’t necessarily get the acknowledgement or attention they deserve.

Peter Matera rightly gets lauded for his impact on the 1992 GF. But Tony Evans' 2 goals within about 3 minutes near the end of the 2nd quarter pulled us to within 2 goals of Geelong at a critical juncture. Clutch.

Stenglein kicking 3 goals and Rojo kicking 2 in our comeback against Geelong; everyone remembers Hunter, Nico and Embley getting us over the line, but we wouldn't have been in that position if those two hadn't slotted theirs(was a career high for Stenglein as well).

I wouldn’t say it was a shank, just the dumbest kick of all time.

Probably one of the most underrated plays and players in the clubs history.

In ten years time people will see photos of Tony and wonder who the **** he is.



Off topic, who’s the assistant coach giving the rousing af speech at the start of this video, and is he still available to rev up the boys each week for us?

Daniel Kerr in the 2011 Semi-Final. Set up a crucial fourth quarter goal in a game we won by three points, but also was a line in the sand moment for a club without too much finals experience across some key contributors.

"Cole was drafted by the Eagles with pick No.36 in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft from the Bendigo Pioneers."

2017 trade with GC is looking to be an absolute masterstroke.
Ah Chee looks a ripper too.

Later emerged he had something wrong with his back too right?

Didn’t Bruce call no one knows who he is or some shit?

He's never done that before in his life.

We were at the Carlton game and it was the best atmosphere at a game I've ever been to. The Carlton players were in tears and as they walked off the ground and the Eagles supporters stood and gave them a clap, truly a magic moment and still gives me goosebumps remembering that day.
HUNTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA was never a huge player but he created so many magic moments.

And what Eagles supporter still doesn't tear up when they watch this

Never appreciated how good he was, until that moment.

I was a changed man after that, I went from a hater to a fanboy, saw him in a different light, his 07 was fantastic, and I was disappointed he retired after that.

Thank you RoJo.

IIIRC, his game against the Pies in 07 was woeful? I remember screaming at him on many occasions.
