    2nds WAFL Watch - 2026 Edition

    Realistically, given the right role there’s no reason they couldn’t come in and contribute this year. Consistency is still probably a year or two away as with all younger players. Probably a year or two in the gym will see them more physically prepared. WAFL level is meant to be an...

    2nds WAFL Watch - 2026 Edition

    I liked champions game today. Was busy and his bursts through the middle were useful in the 2nd half in particular. Tylah Williams has a lovely burst of pace and turn that will definetly not look out of place at the next level. All in all I thought it was a bit scrappy but a great turnaround...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Geelong

    I think when this group of our core players have even 20 games playing together they are going to be such a different proposition to today. Just have to keep pumping in games to them and I think we see the trade off next year and beyond. Duursma has really surprised me just how settled he is...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    I get a rich man’s Chris Masten vibe from Jagga Smith. I genuinely think he will be an excellent attacking half back, but have watched him a bit this year and his decision making and kicking needs work - which for mine is mostly because he’s not physically ready to play as a full time mid at...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade/Contract Discussion

    I genuinely think the positivity around WC at present is because they know that we are a big audience and people will be drawn to it. Easy clicks at the end of the day.

    List Mgmt. Welcome Josh Lindsay (Pick 19, 2025 National Draft)

    Not wanting to place too much emphasis on his first few games, but he does just look like a pro. No gimmicks, wants to come in and get the job done. Looks so dependable. Reckon he will be the player any of his coaches will see as being one of the best to coach. I thought pre-draft, that he was...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Willem Duursma (Pick 1, 2025 National Draft)

    He looks like he knows he belongs at the level. Not in an outwardly FIGJAM way, either. It’s quite a rare trait to be so self assured so early. He knows he’s got the tools and he’s going to back himself in. Development in his game will come. He really wasn’t 100 miles off kicking 3-4 on the...

    Autopsy Round 3, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Port Adelaide

    Hough had a mare, especially early- but I also reckon that he was not helped by effectively zero pressure up the ground. We really seemed to not be awake early and maybe Brady’s a bit of a late sleeper, He is usually such a dependable player but really get the feeling he is still playing catch...

    Autopsy Round 3, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Port Adelaide

    you know how when you like a song, then it gets overplayed and you get a bit sick of it. Only one day to hear it again and you remember what a good song it is and you want to hear it again? That’s our club song at the minute. Hope you boys enjoy watching it again as much as I did.

    Autopsy Round 3, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Port Adelaide

    I think Mini is coaching him really well actually. He’s at his best when he’s at the line. Sometimes it will cost a free kick or two. But now, with genuine support around him- teams riling him up actually works in our favour as he’s at his best in the scrap and others are getting off the chain...

    Autopsy Round 3, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Port Adelaide

    I really thought the pleasing thing from today was that our leaders led, and our young players lifted when the chips were down early. Allan early, Duursma’s second quarter, Harley’s 3rd, and boy oh boy was that a great mark from Shanahan at the end. Clutch moments from our young group when in...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    Oscar as a stay at home forward will probably kick a lot of goals for the lions if the delivery is semi decent- he’s an excellent mark and converter. But he’s done when the ball hits the deck. Really lost a lot of agility.

    Prediction Round 3, 2026: Changes vs Port Adelaide

    Given our relative inexperience in the front half it wouldn’t surprise to see us go Owies for Milan. Either way, whoever comes in- the role has to be really clear- work as hard as you can to provide as much pressure as possible. I’m still an Owies fan so I hope he gets the chance to show what...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Bo Allan (Pick 16, 2024 National Draft)

    I’m sure none of us were genuinely writing off a 19 old after the year he had last year. It’s been so pleasing to see him get a bit of a run at it and show some of the energy and athleticism we drafted him on. Hopefully we can just lock him down into the one spot now for a bit. Ultimately I...

    List Mgmt. Welcome Cooper Duff-Tytler (Pick 4, 2025 National Draft)

    Everything that he did today was clean. The first goal was very very clever, but it was the assist for Yeo’s first that really impressed me the most. Contested the ball well, brought it to ground in a really predictable area, but then followed it up with agility a guy his size shouldn’t have...
