Eagles legend Clinton Reid has returned to the club to take on the director of coaching role, while reigning A-grade best and fairest James Storay has succeeded John LeFevre as senior men's coach.
Also an NTFA grand final coach with Evandale, Storay said he was excited to step up into the top job.
"I've been at the club since I was 11 or 12 so I came back after a couple of years off last year and had a pretty good year," Storay said.
"We had a pretty tough year but there's a heap of good young kids and young talent."

Storay said Reid's return from a year spent with TCL side Trevallyn was a huge coup for the club.
"Having someone like Yab come back who's basically going to be doing it with me will be a massive help, and hopefully we can just improve on the talent we've got now and pick up a couple along the way," Storay said.
"It's pretty hard to pick up blokes in our comp compared to TCL because of the money factor, but we're just all about developing what we've got and hoping a window will open through doing that.
"[The plan is] just continuing on from last year and driving standards for young kids, to try and show a bit of grit when they're out in the middle, put a bit of pride in their wicket and bowl consistent areas - all the basics basically."
