Many premiership players from the club's 1970s golden era turned up for a photo on Thursday at the clubrooms with a feature coming in Saturday's edition of The Examiner.

Evandale operations manager Michael Rigby spoke of the success of that era.

"We won three premierships, played in five grand finals and played finals every year," he said.

"I think our reserves won eight premierships during those years so to date it's probably our most successful period."

The Eagles were Evandale Esk Association seniors premiers in 1970, 1974 and 1977.

Rigby provided insight into the club's longevity.

"It all comes down to obviously the mateship and culture we have but also comes back to the governance of the club," he said.

"If you've got a good culture and governance of your club, you will survive and you will prosper. But all it takes is one or two people to retire or pass away and your club can fall over just like that.

"Your committee has got to be strong."

Rigby also spoke of the importance of volunteers.

"It's also the strong volunteer base we've got, in this day and age, especially the last three years footy has changed due to a lot of reasons, especially COVID," he said.

"But we've been able to maintain our strong volunteer base and even when we're down we can get back up pretty quick because we've just got those people behind us who can drive us back up again."
