Imagine how you'll feel if we beat them at the Gabba next week and essentially end their season.

Just keep in mind, they have Levi Ashcroft coming through as a F/S pick this year and some believe he's the best player available in this year's draft. There might be an Academy jet or two coming through as well so they could potentially get around this if they're able to use the...

You can't afford to wait in this league. You have to strike when the iron is hot. Plus, Dimma may have completely different plans for Weller. He may want to play him elsewhere.

The bigger story is really the confirmation that neither Reid or Barrass will be playing for the Eagles. Certainly makes our job easier. Uwland has been lousy for a few weeks now. Dimma has given him plenty of opportunity this year, but it would appear he's just not ready at this stage. The...

Read and Uwland are out. I think that's a good move from Dimma considering how young and inexperienced we looked against the Swans. Atkins, Sexton, Holman, Fiorini, Day, Swallow, Macpherson and Moyle have been named on the extended bench. I figure it'll be Moyle replacing Read and either Atkins...

We have two really good examples of teams implementing a near identical game plan to compare to and they are Collingwood in 2022 and GWS in 2023. Collingwood were 4W:5L going into round 10 (which is when their run of 11 consecutive victories began) and GWS were 3W:6L going into round 10 and the...

72 indigenous AFL players in 2024 and that makes up approximately 9% of the whole league. So indigenous footballers are drastically over represented in the AFL when compared to the national population percentage. Just 8 of the 638 (1.2%) VFL/AFL captains in history have been indigenous...

Three year draftee contracts were introduced last year and it seems like it was just assumed that the salary of the draftee in their third year would continue on a similar linear path as the first two years, but we've just learned recently that it's not the case and there is now a trigger built...

This is probably why West Coast have decided to not play him. They don't want to kill his momentum with a long and tough away trip.

Without Barrass, I've got a strong feeling about a Walter breakout game as well. Jed grew up supporting the Eagles so he should be fired up to perform and our mids should be in a better position to feed him now that we know Harley Reid won't be playing.

Gee whiz! That's an incredibly high bar to set if a top 5 finish in the Coleman isn't good enough in your eyes. We've only ever had one player finish in the top 5 of the Coleman (Tom Lynch finished 4th in 2016 with 66 goals and made the AA team that year) and now we've finally got another key...

We've been pretty good at home so far this season and we also bounced back well from a poor loss to the Bulldogs in round 2 so history would suggest you're probably right. Given the travel factor, it probably won't surprise many to learn that West Coast have a pretty poor record against the Suns...

Why on earth would we move the one forward that's consistently kicking goals for us almost every week? R0 - 5 R1 - 0 (heavy rain) R2 - 2 R3 - 3 R4 - 4 R5 - 2 TOTAL - 16 (equal 4th in the Coleman) Where are our goals going to come from if it's not King? Lukosius is inconsistent, Walter isn't...

Yeah, I thought the Swans were very good today as well. I think 90% of the league would've lost to them today.
