The pair were inundated with congratulatory messages, including from fellow Eagles premiership winner Mark LeCras, who said: “AGood news, congratulations mate.”

Yeo and Goodbody were first photographed together in 2015, at the Eagles’ 2015 club champions awards.

The 30-year-old was revealed as one of two Eagles players, along with Harley Reid, who were recently attacked by trolls on social media.

Coach Adam Simpson said levels of abuse have increased to the point “that police need to be involved”, in a wake-up call for teams across the country.

Meanwhile, Fremantle star Jordan Clark blocked his social media accounts after receiving abuse.

“There needs to be more protection for players on social media,” Clark said.

“Whether it’s racial, homophobic or just attacking someone, there needs to be more protection.”
