DERBY 58 West Coast lead the H2H 32-25 but recent history hasn’t been pretty. Our last win was in R7 of 2021 which was the last of an 11 game winning streak. Fremantle are on a 5 game winning streak that’s coincided with our tumble off a cliff from midway through 2021. Losses of...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’d be aware of the Video Player Reviews compiled by Alesana after each weeks game They’re an incredibly valuable resource so I’ve created this thread to provide a link to each games review so they’re easy to find throughout the season We’re lucky to...

Medicare Benefits Schedule - Item 171 Group A6 - Group Therapy Professional attendance for the purpose of group therapy of not less than 1 hour in duration given under the direct continuous supervision of a general practitioner, specialist or consultant physician (other than a consultant...

Dawn of a New Era A process that tentatively started at the end of the 2021 season reached a tipping point over the 2023/24 off season. What had been a subtle shift became undeniable and after two years of obfuscation the club has now fully embraced the fact they are in a rebuild. Some would...

Preseason is done and the real thing starts this week if Round Zero counts as a start. But only for some, West Coast among others have to wait an extra week What that means is we are looking for sacrificial lambs volunteers to put together our weekly preview threads which like the team’s...

Following last week’s scratch match against Fremantle, we now have our first (and final) official hitout prior to R1 in a fortnight’s time. This time it’s against Adelaide at Richmond Oval, which is in SA somewhere and not Victoria Prospects for this match look bleak especially after news...

Wake up bitches, it’s melt game day For the first time this season we do away with intraclubs and play against an actual opposition. It doesn’t count for anything but we do get a look at how all the work done over a long, hot summer translates into performance The game itself starts at 4.45pm...

The players have returned for the new year and we have our first injury update for the year Welcome again to Groundhog Day Cliffs : • Ryan to have scans on a hamstring injury this morning. Right leg this time as opposed to the left leg he had surgery on last year. • Burgiel also some...

Time to roll this over to the 2024 edition of occasionally insightful, often inciteful but mainly just downright incompetent media coverage I’m sure the usual culprits will make their customary appearances but to start a new thread on a positive note here’s a link to the sort of writing I’d...

Sam McClure you gimp “I just don’t think West Coast will pick him (Reid),” he said on the Tradies podcast. “I wouldn’t do the deal if I’m North. “You’ve got two and three, right. Just say (to West Coast) ‘pick him, go on’. Don’t (North Melbourne) want pick one? No, you’re not going to pick...

This was telegraphed a while back but Noah Long set to be taking over the No.13 jumper from Luke Shuey Jumper numbers available for 2024 : 9 - Harley Reid 10 - 17 - 22 - 24 - 25 - 29 - Mat Flynn? (Slyce’s old number and next to Batman) 36 - 39 - 44 - Tyler Brockman? Burgiel (45) and Maric...

First off, ignoring the possibility of trading picks with the myriad of options that entails, the reality of academy and father/son bidding means that come night two of the draft those picks will likely fall around 28,38,48 or thereabouts It’s an area of the draft that is particularly even and...

With West Coast holding the golden ticket for this years draft after (another) season from hell, there’s once again heavy interest in the draft. Albeit that interest has been skewed to the No.1 pick - not so much who it will be but moreso which club will eventually hold it Outside of pick 1...

Here comes another one just like the other one but with live trading this time With West Coast holding the golden ticket for this years draft after (another) season from hell, there’s once again heavy interest in the draft. Albeit that interest has been skewed to the No.1 pick - not so much who...

Trade period (for players) is all but done and as the dust settles it’s now apparent the only viable suitor for any potential trade of pick 1 is North Melbourne. Armed with a trio of end of R1 priority picks spread over 2 years plus a fortuitous FA compo pick (3) for McKay they end trade week...

Almost inconceivably, preseason training for 2024 resumes in less than 4 weeks on the 6th of November. Well, for the 1st to 4th year players at least. The rest of the squad aren’t due back until two weeks later on the 20th although they can voluntarily return earlier as we saw several do last...

Welcome to West Coast Matt Flynn - even if we do have to wait until Friday or Monday before the paperwork can be lodged to make it truly official It’s not a headline pickup but some smart business to bring in a mature body to provide ruck depth and if things go well develop as our No.1...

Season 2023 is over and the AFL world turns its attention to the upcoming trade period and draft that us Eagles fans have been focusing on since about round 3 With the existing thread nudging 1,000 pages (pages, not posts) it’s time for a rollover Key Dates : October 6 (Friday) - Free Agency...

For those who care and want to chat about Noah Long’s from the clouds Brownlow win Or more to the point can we as a club outscore the eventual winner unlike last year From a neutral POV, I’m on Bontempelli to win

The season is done Put up a good fight for three quarters but ran out of gas in the last Green shoots are there but some weeding needs to be done as well Kelly was immense Hough is going to be something. Ditto for Long and Maric Hurn and Shuey have retired at the right time A big off season...

Went down to Optus, where Eagles kick the ball I saw you clearly, but the writings on the wall Am I ever gonna see your face again Am I ever gonna see your face again Nicnat Boots and Bunga, like a waxworks on the move Players flying past me, but soon they won’t be you Am I ever gonna see...

Get up it’s game day After another week of turmoil following the derby capitulation that ended with news that Adam Simpson is possibly on the verge of being sacked along with almost the entire coaching department, we play the Bulldogs At Marvel, their home ground Needing a win to stay in the...

The jungle drums are beating and if we are to believe the media, they’ll soon have the scalp they’ve been hunting all season So in the event the club decides to set fire to a stack of cash, who are the options to come in and sweep up the ashes? There’s plenty of candidates and only one other...

Not much to say. Couldn’t watch live. Saw the score and doubt I’ll watch the replay Big step backwards after some rays of light recently Only two more weeks of 2023

The fiercest rivalry in WA footy and if you believe the WA based media, the biggest rivalry in the AFL. Plenty of eagles and dockers fans would agree. I used to But in reality, it isn’t. Beyond the WA border it doesn’t generate much interest, certainly less than the SA showdown. Even after 28...

Four games to go Another opportunity to see if we can somehow start a game on the road without resembling witches hats Can the side named above make it to game day without a late change? Will Simpson give Woodcock a post game answer longer than one word that doesn’t start with F**k and end in...

As we approach the end of the season the sea of media bobble heads are spouting their theories on what West Coast will do, what they should do, who’s staying, who’s going etc etc Some will be silly, some will be guesses, several will be made up and perhaps a handful might actually be on the...

Positive 38 is better than 60+ which it looked like being halfway through the 3rd Allen kept his streak alive Darling got to 500 goals Negative Red time goals Ginbey’s hammy giving up I’ll think of more later

We make our annual pilgrimage to Brisbane for our ritual slaughter at the Gabbatoir where we’ve travelled to every year since the turn of the century bar 3 (2001,07,17) Haven’t won there since 2018 and enter this game at the longest odds in an AFL game since basically forever Can we build on...

If you can positives from this shitshow you’re better than me Truly horrible performance
