    List Mgmt. Welcome Scott Lycett (Pick 29, 2010 National Draft)

    In Adelaide for the weekend, I thought I'd take in a local footy grand final at Norwood Oval. I had no idea who was playing for either side, but got a surprise when I saw who was rucking for Port District: Scott Lycett. The game was a fizzer as far as being a contest goes - Slyce's team won by...

    Prediction Club Captaincy & Leadership Group 2026 Discussion/Predictions

    Bendera is Swahili for flag or banner. True story. I'd say ujinga (stupidity) is Swahili for co-captains. Liam Baker should be captain next season. Not too many years down the track I'd see Ginbey as his successor.

    Autopsy Round 24, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Sydney

    Not sure where else to post this (too soon for a 2025 season review thread?): MERRY HELL 39 (West Coast Eagles 2025): A review Director: Andrew McQualter Stars: Reuben Ginbey, Liam Baker, Harley Reid The 39th instalment in this once popular franchise falls sadly flat. Merry Hell, the...

    News Don Pyke appointed CEO

    Okay, I think I understand: Each new CEO should immediately turn over the entire staff of the club and should be sacked at year's end if the team hasn't improved it's win-loss record the previous season. Repeat until success. (I'm as impatient as anyone, but Pyke has pulled a lot of levers...

    The only rumblings Gossage hears are the ones that cause him to take Metamucil.

    Autopsy Round 23, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Western Bulldogs

    Positives: Saw Guy McKenna outside the ground and it briefly reminded me of some of our glory years when we had a footy team you could be proud of. Negatives: Pretty much everything that happened once we were in the stadium. I've been a very loyal fan throughout this last four and a half years...

    Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    I'm not really a fan of either Johnny Cash or Nice Inch Nails, but that cover was amazing and the video even better.

    Game Day Round 21, 2025: West Coast vs Melbourne

    Still waiting for someone to compile a 10+ minute video of just Nic's ruckwork. That would be something to sit and watch over and over.

    Autopsy Round 19, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    So, we've just been comprehensively belted by the second worst team in the competition. How's that for a reality check? Positives: Harley Ryan's goal Reasonable games from Edwards and Baker Negatives: Pretty much everything else, but in particular: If only we could hit teammates with passes...

    Autopsy Round 16, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Collingwood

    It's a sad state of affairs when you're really happy with a five goal loss, but here we are. The margin flattered Collingwood and if we had kicked goals with several shots we should have nailed, it would have been a much closer finish. Positives: Excellent game from Liam Baker. His efforts...

    Toast Jeremy McGovern appreciation thread

    Gov is an all-time legend of our club. His reliably plucking marks out of the sky across our backline will live long in the memory and of course his part setting off the chain of marks and kicks that led to our winning goal in the 2018 GF that he medically probably shouldn't have played in...

    Autopsy Round 13, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs North Melbourne

    That is the most pissed off I've been after a loss since the 2019 Semi Final loss to Geelong. I'm sick to death of watching us lose and it is staggering how we could actually have lost that game after being so dominant for much of it. I think the worst thing is I fully expected all along that...

    Good to see another Eyre Peninsula lad on our list. We've done okay with players from the EP over the years: David Hynes, Scott Lycett and (ahem) Luke Partington.

    Prediction Round 11, 2025: Changes vs Kuwarna

    2.77 km. In all seriousness, would love to see Bazzo back in the side. Edwards and Brock are doing okay for the moment though.

    Autopsy Round 10, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Euro-Yroke

    My delight at the Eagles' win is overshadowed by my continued sadness about the devastating news of Adam Selwood's passing, but it was lovely to remember what winning is like. Only positives today: Great across-the-board team performance. Unfair to judge Owies who was subbed out so early due...

    Autopsy Round 9, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Frankly, I preferred the previous time we scored 11.13 (79) at the MCG.

    Autopsy Round 9, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Walked away from the MCG today feeling worse than I do after we're flogged, because that was a game we should have won. Positives: Really good games from Liam Ryan and Liam Baker Actually winning some centre clearances at last and out-tackling the opposition as well Our percentage went up...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    I like the vibe you're suggesting. However, as someone who speaks some Swahili, I feel obliged to point out that "Hakuna McQualter" would literally mean "There is no McQualter". The phrase would best be kept until that future day when he departs West Coast (hopefully after coaching us to a...

    Autopsy Round 7, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Hawthorn

    Just another day/evening at the footy watching the 18th best team in an 18 team competition suffer an inevitable loss. Positives: Despite the scoreboard, nearly matched them for Inside 50s Fought the game out when at half time it looked like a complete annihilation was brewing McGovern's...

    Mega Thread WCE: When is the first win? How do we fix this mess? Can we see any improvement at all?

    FWIW I've watched probably all bar three or four of our games during the mid 2021 to present, including attending all of the games in Melbourne, two in Adelaide and some in Geelong (thankfully not the last game of 2024 though - even I have limits). I'll continue attending and supporting my...

    Mega Thread WCE: When is the first win? How do we fix this mess? Can we see any improvement at all?

    Yes, we've had a great run for most of the Eagles' existence and there are supporters overall worse off than we are. Imagine supporting St Kilda (1 flag in a century and a half, only those in their mid 60s or older have any memory of it). Given the understandable gloom and doom I thought it...

    Mega Thread WCE: When is the first win? How do we fix this mess? Can we see any improvement at all?

    For the reasons discussed in this thread and numerous other ones, it sucks to be an Eagles fan right now and will continue to do for a long time. But imagine how much worse it would feel if Dom Sheed had missed that very difficult shot at goal.
