Considering the impact that many thought the Eagles would have on the 2020 finals, a first week exit at the hands of the Pies marred their season.

The Eagles were looking good for most of the season before multiple losses booted them out of the top four and into sudden death territory.

Lucky for Adam Simpson, he still has bounds of quality to play with to have a red hot crack at 2021.

5. NEEDS TO LIFT

Jarrod Brander:ย The 6'5" tall man was put on the wing in the 2020 season, but never got the ball rolling as a result of injury. Although he can't help it, this is his third season at the club and he has failed to break into their best 22. Will need to put in the hard yards in the off-season to get up to scratch for 2021.
