Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Donkers]

came across my YT suggested, decided to reminisce

these boys made it look so easy

Whenever anyone is feeling bad this is a great watch.

Yeo hasn't played for 600 years but he's suddenly fine to play for WA

And probably cops a season ending injury in February.

100%, except it'll be a 5-7 week injury at that point.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Thanks to the club for sending me a Spotify-style “2025 Wrapped” of all the home games, I really wanted to revisit that misery.

 

[KBLT]

That team is getting pumped. The AFL missed the boat with introducing this 5-10 years ago. That was time any other state had a team close to the vics

The AFL was terrified of a spine of Rance, McGovern, Naitanui, Buddy, and JK.

Keep that glass man as far away from any non West Coast Eagles games as possible

They didn't even get the games I went to right.

Pretty sure on one of the "Coast to Coast" pods he mentioned meeting his current girlfriend at church, so maybe some kind of pilgrimage? The government has them at "reconsider travel", which is the same as the cartel controlled bits of Mexico and the Saudi border with Yemen, and I'm pretty sure it also means you don't get travel insurance, so you'd want to really need to go...

picked for the SOO game but ineligible due to his current 1 week suspension which should mean he can lead the Eagles in the first scheduled game for season 2026.

I see that no one was game to put their name to it.

As long as he doesn't pull a Dan Andrews...

Winning three premierships in a row suits me.

This seems plausible.

GETTABLE: Who Dons must target, father-son bidding latest, will forward join Tigers or Swans?

Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge bring back the Wall of Trades and answer your questions

www.afl.com.au

Half way through watching today's Gettable. Reckon Chesser will go for Carlton picks 34 or 44. West Coast into Butler, which we knew, someone sent in a question who West Coast will most likely take with the first two picks of the draft, the answer obviously being Duff-ma (CDT and Duursma) 'Get ready to speak West Australian' Twomey added, lol.

And apparently the answer to the Eagles assistance package will be on Monday as part of the AFL Commission meeting.

Edit - Now watching the entire thing. They don't have any idea what Starcevich is doing, but that could be due to the weird compo situation between us and Brisbane but then added it's Prelim final week, if you're not signed by now you're most likely gone. 'Dev Robertson a good chance to land at the Eagles in some shape or form' according to Cal.

There's a "training the house down" joke in there somewhere...

Dev will be a good pick up to captain the Beagles.

 

[squashface]

Happy to take Dev as long as we can parade him around Hay Street for an hour wearing a billboard saying "I'm an idiot for not doing this two years ago"

Or he could reenact one of the great Die Hard scenes?

This is on tonight

Should be worth watching

I have to weigh up whether my love of Gov is enough to counter my hatred of 'Hame'.

 

[Altum Volantes]

One to watch - Gov doesn't actually qualify for a lap around the oval on GF day, on account of not reaching 200 games. Neither does Dom.

I mean, rules are rules but...would the AFL really say no to the best defender of his generation and the ultimate GF hero?

I predict they get one, but have to share the car with Mitch Brown.

Someone will need to be on hand to stop Will Schofield from attempting to jump on board.
