It's why they ended up winning the GF that year, they relentlessly hit handball targets and hit targets by foot and found space and ways to pick apart sides.
They would be so embarrassed to see what they became this year and last year. 2018 was peak for the eagles, so much enthusiasm, team work, compassion just everything.
@@StuAus Yes and Yes. Lets face it, Gaffy was never super quick to begin with.. but now six years down the track, he is downright pedestrian, he wouldn't be able to burst away from the pack in the Amateurs now. Should have given him a tap on the shoulder last year and told him to hang up the boots.
When sides take it from deep inside their defensive zone , transition quickly and then score at the other end, it really is a thing of beauty and is what makes our game great. And if you can do that against good sides, you should be right amongst it come September. ; ]
Honestly I don't get it. It's pretty much the exact same team only 4 years older. Wtf has changed that we're like the opposite team we are in these highlights. Have the opposition got better and smarter, or have we got lazier?
4 years is plenty long enough for opposition coaches to figure out how to neutralize our kicking game plan Plus if you watch chris masten's backchat episode especially the part mentioning sam mitchell, itll make even more sense
@@jonorrhea9278 Sam Mitchel was the mastermind. WE will continue to struggle until someone with his brains comes in again. Simmo, nice bloke, has the IQ of custard.
It's easy to forget, but Gaff was a super player
This team was special
Darling had a cracking year in 2018
This really was a super team
We can watch this and wish they still played like this. 😣

Yep probably gonna be shit for a while

1:02:30, this passage of play I bet you is the reason he made this video and to this very day still fucking haunts me,
Wtf did I hear things in this one?
Did Richo say Degoeys back in the goal square.
Did he switch teams or something.
