Rodney Eade – The Hawthorn Machine
A legend of the Apple Isle, Rodney Eade was recruited to Hawthorn from Glenorchy in 1975. At Hawthorn Eade established himself as a dashing wingman, playing a part in four VFL Premierships with the Hawks.
After 229 games at Glenferrie Oval, Eade crossed to the Brisbane Bears in 1988 – a move which would be the genesis for Eade’s future coaching career.
In this episode Eade opens up about the heartbreak of being dropped for the 1985 Grand FInal, the golden era at Hawthorn under John Kennedy, David Parkin and Allan Jeans and the chaos and challenges faced by the fledgling Brisbane Bears.
