My biggest Eagles disappointment is I perfectly missed Judd's career with us. Moved overseas a month before his debut, then moved back a month after he was traded.

So reading between the lines - If you had stayed away Judd would never have left.
How very selfish of you.

That's it hey.

Shows how many teams have won clumps of flags lately like Tiges Hawks lions.

Is it better to win 2 flags in 20 years 10 years apart or 2 in a couple of years then 20 years of nothing.

I would prefer one flag every 10 years over 3 decades, than a three-peat once every 30 years. It is great to see your team rebuild, hoping that they've got the right pieces, the early excitement as a rebuild leads to finals appearance, the harsh reality that you usually have to slide back to get the right pieces and the absolute elation when you manage to actually win a flag. Listening to fans of teams that win a bunch of flags in a short period, there is definitely a case of diminishing returns and fans re-setting the bar - so a premiership is seen as a pass mark each season (not the amazing achievement that it is).

It feels like our 1994 flag suffers from this. We had the amazing achievement of taking the flag out of Victoria in 1992, the disappointment of 1993 and then a season where we finished top and steamrolled our way through finals in 1994. It's our largest winning margin for any flag, but it is also the one most fans rarely talk about (as it feels like it is overshadowed by 1992).

There was an element of expectation that we’d win in 1994 that removed some of the genuine excitement that defined the other 3 wins

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

1994 is absolutely the forgotten premiership (including by the club).

I've just seen live one of the most scariest things ever on a football field.

I am very much in shock right now

Bills-Bengals MNF game suspended after Damar Hamlin collapses, needs CPR, ambulance

Damar Hamlin hit Tee Higgins, got up, and then fell down to the turf.

JFC

That was a pretty routine tackle/hit before he basically dropped dead

Hope he’s ok

 

[RookiePick]

I think Ty Vickery playing an imaginary game of footy that time was pretty freaky as far as head knock related issues on the field.

I dont really want to go there but the anti vax crew will jump on this.

This is the problem with head injuries TBH. Things just have to twist the slight wrong way, particularly if the skull is lifted and you either have a quadriplegic or a Phil Hughes situation. So much is random bad luck.

 

[Agent93]

Chimichanga's finding the boundary a fair bit atm.

 

[Obeanie1]

I don’t really buy this concept that players are constantly getting better over time such that teams from 1980 would get flogged by teams from 2000, who themselves would get flogged by 2020 players etc.

Dunno why, it just feels like something we tell ourselves each generation. What’s the logical conclusion? Will players in 2080 be that much exponentially more elite than those in 2040?

Agree.

The argument is sports medicine and fitness are miles ahead.

What they don't factor in is those players from the past like Liegh Matthews would scare three colours of sh!t out of players in the current era and they wouldn't go near him.

Class like Matera, Mainwaring would still hold their own on the running side of the game. Quality talls like Lloyd and Carey would still do their thing.

The likes of Tony Shaw and Mark Williams mids likely would struggle.

Been reported as a cardiac arrest and no mention of any head injury. Didn’t appear to be any head contact in the tackle either

But your point stands in that there’s a lot of luck, good or bad, involved with head injuries

 

[KERRPOW]

I must have put season 2022 out of my mind.

Watching the rd 20 match against the suns.

I dont even remember darling kicking 6 let alone this game at all.

 

[Cuzz09]

Gold Coast have gone from our bunnies to a team we are starting to have a poor record against

[Ambrose Burnside]

We could only draw against them in 2015 on our way the the Grand Final.

 

[KERRPOW]

I started abusing cripps with all his fumbles. Then realised this was a replay

 

[Cuzz09]

I saw 30 seconds of the wce v gc game yesterday and we butchered a certain goal so I turned it off.

I'm prepared to go out on a limb and take him at his word that he has no interest in playing footy at AFL level in the future.

 

[Bender_]

Who the **** is Fischer McAsey? And why have his parents been allowed to get away with naming him that?

 

[FKASC]

Richmond.......definitely Richmond.
