The Eagles, 2011.

FB A Hunter 29, D Glass 29, T Stenglein 30

HB B Jones 28, E MacKenzie 23, S Hurn 23

C M Rosa 24, C Masten 21, T Houlihan 22

HF B Ebert 20, J Kennedy 23, M Brown 22

FF A Embley 29, T Notte 20, M LeCras 24

Foll D Cox 29, M Priddis 25, A Selwood 26

bench Q Lynch 28, B Waters 25, M Nicoski 27, S Selwood 21


The Eagles do have a future contender already, especially if their young key position players develop. Notte at full forward, Kennedy at centre half forward, MacKenzie at centre half back, and they also have Mitch Brown who can play at either end of the field.


High draft picks have been used to select Masten and Ebert, the Eagles will also be looking at picking Daniel Rich in the 2008 AFL draft. It may not be too long until their onball brigade is again a strength.

Add to that, a number of other high draft picks and also trades and preseason picks over the next few years. With at least 3 picks in the top 20 this draft, maybe 5 in the top 20 if they do trade out Kerr and other veterans. The Eagles should have a competitive and balanced team in 2011. They will also still have Dean Cox, and as long as he is there the Eagles will continue to have a huge edge in the ruck.

The numbers beside the players above are their approximate ages in 2011.
