Cole took a significant step forward in 2024 as one of only five Eagles to play every game for the season after consecutive seasons severely impacted by ankle problems. Cole missed the entirety of 2022 and played only 12 matches in 2023, but his ability to back-up week after week was a major positive last year. The Bendigo product was duly rewarded with eighth place in the Club Champion award – the best finish of his eight-season career and second time featuring in the top 10. The 2018 premiership defender’s ability to shut down dangerous small forwards while offering dash and rebound from half-back makes him a valuable member of the playing group who will help drive the next era. At a Glance: Junior Clubs: Sandhurst (VIC). Debut: Round 10, 2016. Recruited from: Bendigo (VIC). Brownlow Votes: 0.
