    Why I think Eagles can win the premiership next year

    Adam Simpson has hit the nail on the head. He called for unity throughout the club. The vibe in some of the games this year was bad, especially in the Hurn milestone game against Collingwood. THE game against St Kilda where we were 33 points up and then capitulated was another game where care...

    I'M BACK

    If you don't remember me, I am the dude who predicted the EAGLES would finish high on the ladder in 2011 based on pre season attitude at training. This is after getting the wooden spoon in 2010. I also predicted the Eagles would win the premiership in 2018. I am now predicting that the Eagles...

    its all up from here. Go Eagles for 2015

    Yes!!!, The Eagles form late in 1914 is the start of a new era of Eagles challenging for top 4 for a few years. The discovery of Mac Govern and Elliot Yeo is awesome. We should trust Simpson because he got Eagles to play with Cripps, McGinnity, and Hill together Which seemed like a stupid thing...

    Simpson has got one thing right

    In his press conference he said that bigger and stronger players are needed. This must mean that the players have to get bigger in the gym. Also bigger midfield bodies might be recruited in the draft. We are in long term trouble unless we draft well in the next 2 years.

    jumper clashes!!!!! this weekend, what the ****

    Last year I think it was, Richmond [must have been them) played in their main jumper, yellow and black. They also had white shorts. Eagles played in their main jumpers, dark blue and thier dark blue shorts. It was hard for me to follow the Eagles movement from defence to attack because of...

    Training 22/4/14

    Well I diecided to go and see what the vibe is like. Training started off with a lap around the oval. Noticed a guy with a knee strap out there. My goodness it was Hurn. Will he be running all session . No of course not but the report that he might be back before the bye might be accurate...

    GLUE in the midfled

    After 3 games is seems that the Eagles are striving to play at thier best. We need a midfielder who provides a glueing role. Dominic Sheed looks as though he can provide it. What I mean is gluing is doing things like instinctavely running or to where the ball has a good chance of going to...

    Prediction for 2014

    will be worked out after watching the next pre-season and pre -season comp and first 1-2 games of the season,. I succesfully predicted us not getting into the 8 and potential to get bottom six after the pre season and first game, hey hey. reasons for it. THe fire was not there. The most...

    We will need to re-build again

    With the aging players closer to retirement - slowing down and all that we need to recruit really well and find at least 2 strong build midfielders, another key position backman, a ruckman, 2 outside quick wizards. This might take over 2-3 years. iT is noticeable to many that our midfield...

    Making the 8

    well i am usually positive about the eagles but am abit concerned with our absence of Natanui, Kerr. Natanui changes our whole team , just with his presence. The game against Collingwood highlighted the power of having guys Pendelbury and Swan who can get the ball and split the opposition with...

    Why we can win it next year

    If we can have no major injuries I believe that we can have a real chance of winning next year. Getting Wellingham will glue up our midfield abit. One more pre-season for our 40-80 game players is enough to tilt us into top 2. Losing Lynch will not be good but if Lecras comes in and...

    Scooter was the player

    that I mentioned late last year was trying more (fidgeting, occasionally,) Judd like manouvers at training. Obviously not Judd, but can now side step and swerve even more than last season. His attacking play seems to be getting better all the time. Great to see, hard trainer and getting...

    How can a 52 metre goal be better than some Daicos, Franklin magic

    I am appalled that some people think that the nine point rule should be played in the proper season. The degree of difficulty in some of the great goals in the forward pocket boundaries is way ahead of many shots from just over 50 meters. So many goals of the year are from these acute...

    We were outmuscled tonight

    Could not believe how powerful Adelaide looked tonight. Everyone looked bigger and stronger and were pushing the Eagles off the ball on many occasions. That however could be because Adelaide were more pumped at home. Hope the Eagles did not do less weights during the summer...

    Are we efficient in all areas for 2012

    With the loss of LeCras, for me it puts alot more emphasis on Lynch, Kennedy and Darling to take more marks. Last year we had all 4 players take marks as they were marking players. With the resting ruckmen as well, Eagles were noted for thier marking strength in the forward line in 2011...

    Swift: Speed coming back, creative handball back, hair out of his eyes

    What he was showing at training was there to see in the Nab openers. Could be our Pendelbury. He gets to many contests quickly and has the ability to dish out handballs while being tackled. Handballs that are creative and generate energy. His hairdo is fine with me now as the top is not...

    Stevens and Swift and Priddis also

    There is a good chance that Embley and Rosa might not play in round 1. This leaves the door open to Stevens and Swift. From careful analysis from pre season footage, and from a source it is quite obvious that Swift is regaining his side stepping he had in junior football and late 2009...

    Do we have enough taller midfielders ??

    MMM, with the loss of Ebert, we have lost some midfiled height. We have Koby Stevens to come in. I believe he is a key to 2012. What happens if he gets injured? We only have Masten and Gaff, McGinnity and Hams to go into the midfield. We recruited Hams and Newman. Newman is...

    OFFICIAL THREAD what will the Eagles go for in the 2011 draft?

    I beleive the Eagles will pick a KPD with their first pick and then a lighting fast midfielder with their second. They will pick a KPD to cover for the retirement of Glass in the future. They will also rookie another ruckman. Eagles now do not need a fast small forward as they...

    Luke Shuey now needs a Rojo - lets play to our strengths

    Well after attacking the first final with everything including taking the game on no matter what. luke shuey gets caught after looking clear and dangerous. in the last 2 finals shuey did not even attempt to do that again. his confidence was shot. for the brief moments he looked clear...

    i'm looking forward to the next pre-season training reports

    okay, today sucked. i feel like shit. the players were r00-ed before the game started. the umpires helped geelong early to get into the groove with diabolical decisions. still the players looked too stuffed to get their offensive game going. a number of times the tv showed their...

    We were a Kerr short of beating the selected Pies, just

    Quite a few asked what i thought about our chances against the pies. I said with Reid and Thomas out and kerr in, we would win. Without Kerr I did not know although deep down i was worried. We have a good system of players breaking wide, but we need some extra genius to get the ball...

    Which finals team 2011 is the best to watch - rank them

    Yep, It might be certain players that you want to watch like Reiwoldt and Franklin, or the style of football that the team plays which is great to watch. Basically which team would you like to see for entertainment value. For instance one might not like St Kilda's style but Riewoldt...

    Congrats to Brisbane and Voss

    Congratulations Brisbane. Last night and in the last few weeks I saw what Eagles showed in the last 4 games of last year. A certain type of no nonsense toughness in approach Voss has got the new look team playing his style. A very physically strong approach. If Woosha was not...

    Why do so many thnk we will beat Brisbane. Its 50/50 or 40/60

    I am staggerred that the media, and many others think we will just roll up and beat Brisbane. But I'm tellin ya Michael Voss is a genius coach and will be one of the most feared coaches for many years. The way Brisbane played on the weekend they are showing what the Eagles did in the...

    Rocket Eade, a perfect fit for Melbourne?

    Just the way he goes about it. Venemous sometimes. All his experience and with a pretty talented young list I think he would be a good fit and provide energy to the club

    McGinnity might be the most improved player in the AFL 2011

    Maybe what has happened in the last few days has got football followers to notice who Patrick McGinnity is, but here in the West, Eagles supporters have marvelled at his amazing progress in 2011. He has developed great speed and excellent skills on top of his mogrel like tackling mindset...

    Hams should be the replacement for Shuey

    That's what I feel. Can break tackles. Is fiercely strong. Nippy, accurate kick and showed he can read the ruck taps. Also can go forward to rotate with LeCras. We need strong bodies to compete.

    So what went wrong against ST Kilda - what are the fixes

    Well, for me, not tooooo many things went wrong. However these are the things that went wrong. In the first quater, the team collectively were not as switched on. Could be tiredness or food not as good on the plane. The defensive closing down speed was not like in previous weeks...

    How do Eagles adjust to the loss of Lynch for 2 weeks??

    A massive blow, this suspension. If anything with his new found aggression it will teach him to control it even more so that he does'nt get rubbed out just before the finals or during. Anyway, He is working really well with Kennedy. Kennedy is now able to play closer to goal and this makes...
