Toast Most Underrated Eagles Moments

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

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.

Credit where it's due, Karl Langdon created some clever knock ons for Evans to capitalise.

Brett Heady being moved into the midfield also helped us get on top, too.

If he didn't do that we don't make the GF.
Just wished BT was calling at the time and not Darcy. Massive goal and Darcy couldn't have sounded much flatter.

 

[Biggie]

He's never done that before in his life.

Thanks Buddy

When we won the western derby (2006?) And Braun (who won the glendenning medal) took the mic and shouted on national tv:

"Now let's have a f@#$ing good year!!"

Rojo winning the ball in the middle of the MCG after a shank from Kerr late in the 2006 GF.

Was it him V Goodesy? Rojo wore the contact, brushed him aside and won the footy. IIRC Swans last real chance at an open 50 and goal. Epic.

 

[mad_eagle]

In terms of actual stakes it has to be Rojo doesn’t it? If he doesn’t get there the Swans likely get a much better surge inside 50 than what they ended up getting - i.e. that last boundary thrown in.

We could have gone from premiers to back to back runners up in the blink of an eye - still looking for our third flag (24 year drought).

'99 first round 4th vs 5th final away against the Bulldogs was epic. Friday night at the G, we were considered no chance. We stuck it out the whole game and finished with our noses in front. Even the late Matt Price (political journo/Dockers diehard) said in one of his books that he started going for us that night, worthy praise. Scott Cummings on fire, of course

 

[Cainozz]

Brent Staker doing his best Dustin Martin impression and fending off a couple of swans to kick a pretty nice goal in Ben Cousins' comeback game in 2007

Leo Barry.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

not underrated but chick's bump in the last 1/4 of the 2006 GF

So it doesn’t meet the one requirement of the thread?

Chad Rintouls tackle late in the match to stop a Bulldogs surge forward. Was getting poleaxed in a sheppard and still managed to bring the Bulldog to the ground.

Awesome stuff.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Leo Barry.

Even sweeter.

 

[Lincs]

Pretty sure this Broome/Neates goal was the primary trigger for our miraculous 2011 season

 

[avishka5]

That time Chris Masten did his hammy but he played out the game and Kicked a beauty on his left as he helped the side defeat Hawthorn.

 

[RookiePick]

Pretty sure this Broome/Neates goal was the primary trigger for our miraculous 2011 season

I have no recollection of either of those gentlemen.

 

[SloppyJoe]

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.

I love this moment.

That manchild Darling has since grown a beard, but otherwise looks exactly the same.

 

[DanWCE]

Sellers high free kick to NN, and the gift that was then Brad Scott week.

Lol - he handballs it to the ground practically yet Neates doesn’t even have to break stride and takes it waist height.

That was a great moment. I thought Broome and Weedon were going to be our Ryan and Rioli

 

[kane249]

The Beau Waters screamer in the dying minutes of a close one with Richmond at Etihad. 2011 I think?

 

[kane249]

Some more Beau love

 

[kane249]

2007 round 1, Cousins in rehab, Cox also out due to injury

Sydney away and we're public enemy number one for our off field behaviour, Kerr saves the day

 

[avishka5]

Reckon this match winner from Jk is hugely underrated. Imagine if Buddy cleanly picks up the footy in the dying minutes and boots it from 40 on his right for a sealer. It would legit be frothed over for years.
