Your favourite Eagles moment of the year so far

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

In a fairly good season there have been some ripper moments; Judds game vs Brisbane, the Cats game, Waters hit on Bolton etc. Hopefully I can add a premiership at the end of this season, but until then....

For mine I have opted for an incident vs Hawthorn. In the weeks leading up to the game we had been tagged as soft and criticism was coming from all directions that we weren't standing up for Cuz when he was getting hit. Then during the game Cuz and Franklin were running towards the ball and Franklin went for the bump on Cuz and Cuz went down in pain and then hobbled to the boundary. Enter Beau Waters and Chad Fletcher. At the bounce after the incident the ball was tapped out to Franklin, and Waters and Fletcher went full pelt at Franklin and hit him hard and Buddy was hurt. He didn't return for the rest of the match and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

Just wondering what everyone elses favourite moment for the season has been?

 

[Killer eagle]

Yeah, have to go with Waters and Fletcher taking out Franklin too. Thats really standing up for your team mates.

But i think the game against Adelaide a couple weeks ago has to rate up there to - probaly a tie. We where pretty much written off by everyone, then we come out and absolutely thumped the premiership favourites, and it looks like its kicked us into form.

I liked that moment as well. But i have to say that the comeback against Geelong was just too good. I was all ready to give up on that game, and then the boys came and they came hard. Those last 5-7 minutes were nerve-shattering.

i went berserk in those last 5 minutes and ill never forget when that siren went.

 

[Biggie]

Geelong game for sure.

Made a fool a out of me when they won that one and since that day I never say never, ever again.

Kerr's tackle on Gehrig was awesome as well!!

 

[materamagic]

the resolve the playing group have shown over the last few weeks is by far the highlight for me

Hell, you can say that again. In those last five minutes i hit my head on the ceiling (yeah im tall and its low), i threw my coke at the TV, and i pushed my Geelong-supporting freind to the floor in a moment of pure anger.

That was one hell of a game.

 

[TheBigUnit]

Definitely the Geelong game.

 

[gdmclean]

^^ When Embley put through a 55m bomb against Geelong at Skilled Stadium to get us within 2 goals late in the final quarter.

Other highlights were the Kerr mark against the Pies, his tackle against Gehrig, and for amazing atmosphere, the comeback against Carlton when we hit the lead about 30 minutes into the final quarter at Subiaco. Was probably the loudest roar ive ever heard at the ground.

ohhh yeah....seeing embers put that through and get shirty like he always does got my blood rushing! and quartermain (as much as a twat as he is) called it awesomely.

but id have to go with beau's hit on franklin. except it was ruined by fox footy's lame saturday arvo commentary team. these guys suck. 'get up buddy!'

 

[wce4premiership]

the comeback win was awesome and probably my favourite moment over the last couple of years - bar making the grand final.

 

[Quinz]

The Geelong game was awesome, and Waters is a star. Judd's game against Brisbane was unbelievable.

1. The comeback down at Geelong (Rd 10)
2. The belting of Adelaide (Rd 17)
3. The performance as a whole vs St. Kilda (Rd 18)
4. The defeat of Adelaide at AAMI (Rd 2)
5. The first win against Essendon in Melbourne for nearly a decade (Rd 8)
6. The win over Sydney (Rd 15)
7. The last 40-odd minutes vs Carlton (Rd 11)

 

[Embers]

Alot of highlights which IMO might bode well for finals (hopefully anyway).

My highlight was seeing Lynch single handidly tear apart Hawthorn. Dont know why but can anyone really remember the last time a FF single handidly won us the game. It was great to see alot of ugly ***** (Walls) eat there words

 

[Mrs. Cousins]

too hard to pick:
the last 2 weeks games would be right up there along with the great comeback in the geelong game
hopefully the best moments are yet to come....

well i remember i was screaming my lungs out punching my brother and cousin if we stuffed up(smashed my remote control wasnt a great feeling) and celebrate hysterically when we won. copped quite a few bruises in that ordeal. wce thrashing against adelaide and saints in the past 2 weeks have been simply awesome. sydney and carlton games scared the hell out of me but any game that lynchy played bloody good and slammed shut walls and co's gob was also pretty good. also the rise of seaby, kerr, stenglein, selwood and glass has made this season even more exciting. we should seriously win the flag this year. if we dont il be bitterly disappointed.

 

[Cabbie]

Its comes down to two moments and I cant seperate them...Beating geeelong after trailing by 54 points 17 mins into the third team (I have ordered the DVD of that one )

second was our win v Saints sent a clear message to the comp that we are a good football team

 

[Lach72]

I thought Paul Hasleby's goal in the derby was up there.

I reckon Lynchy's first bag was a real highlight.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

So far... the comeback against Geelong

Hopefully that will be replaced after September.

In 2002 when he kicked 5 against the Saints?

Nah this year...that was so long ago it barely counts

 

[94_Eagles]

You can look foward to his next big bag in Round 21.

 

[Genesis67]

Same. Sooooo the same. Had my brother at my place to watch the game, we were both screaming our lungs out, bouncing off walls et all at the end of that game. It took an hour before my heart rate started to slow down...

 

[nearlyblonde]

The coming of Q!!

 

[Lach72]

You can look foward to his next big bag in Round 21.

He better not show his big bag...Never know what might happen with Mr kerr around!!
