Bio
Recruited from the Gippsland Power via the rookie draft, Robert Eddy transformed from a prolific junior ball-winner into a disciplined defensive forward under Ross Lyon. Synonymous with St Kilda's high-pressure game plan of the late 2000s, he was valued internally for his elite tackling and ability to negate opposition rebounders, often performing selfless roles that resulted in low personal disposal counts. His career narrative was defined by the extreme highs and lows of finals selection; after playing in the 2009 preliminary final, he endured the heartbreak of being dropped for the Grand Final, only to find redemption the following year by featuring in both the drawn 2010 decider and the replay. Despite this contribution on the game's biggest stage, his position remained precarious, leading to him being delisted weeks after the Grand Final, redrafted as a rookie, and eventually departing the club for good a year later.
