    Diving forward to get a free for in the back

    Seems to me this is the new ducking to get a free. players getting tackled from behind then lunging forward so the tackler basically has no opportunity but to go with them and get paid a free against for in the back. Many times the tackler actually braces himself with knees on the ground so as...

    Lucky to be a Premiership Player

    Just looking back on the Eagles Premiership team and we all know there were 3 players missing who would have been pretty much walk up starters, NicNat, Sheppard and Gaff. Of these 3 you would say Shep was probably the most unlucky given the timing of his injury. His replacement, Schofield, would...

    Shuey pinged for deliberate behind

    Really??? Sandwiched between two Brisbane players at the top of the square with a bouncing ball and he jumps and punches it through for a point. I have seen much much much more obvious ones with much less pressure not paid. Because it rarely get's paid you would expect it to be a blindlingly...

    Liam Ryan non 50

    A runner/trainer goes right into the protected zone while Ryan is lining up 50m from goal. West coast players point it out to the Umpire who see's it and waves the trainer on. No 50m penalty. WTF!!! That is 50 every day of the week but it doesn't even get brought up except on the couch last...

    Ben Sharpe are you serious?

    Just heard on the radio that former WCE Ben Sharpe has been charged and pleaded guilty of Armed robbery, possession of drugs, fire arms and other offences. According to his lawyer it is due to the WCE drug culture that this all happened as the 3 years he spent on the list turned him into a drug...

    Sling tackle fix

    With all this confusion with regard to sling tackles and suspensions, outcomes, techniques, force etc Could it be as easy as this to fix? If you pin both players arms in a tackle you can not sling them to ground AT ALL. If you have a player around the waist you can sling them no problem. You...

    JOSH KENNEDY CENTURY COUNTDOWN

    Been a while since i started a new thread and I have been thinking about this one for a while. It has been a long time between drinks for an Eagle to kick 100 goals. This year is a very good chance of us having one, particularly given we should have a couple of finals games. Currently sitting...

    Hodge comment F-N Gazza

    Saw/heard one of the funnier things this year in the Hawks v GC game and thought I'd share with those who may not of seen it. Gold Coast got a free kick on the 50 near the boundary early in the game. Ablett was in the area and Hodge must have tried to block his run giving away a 50 for a shot at...

    Eagles at kids training

    Something a little different and suitable for our bye week I think. Not sure if this has been brought up before or not but I was quite surprised and thought it Threadworthy. Last night one of the guy's I bowl with, there are 3 of us and all Eagle supporters, arrived with a big grin on his face...

    No Excuse but...

    Apparently Rosa was not the only one with gastro on the weekend, just the worst hit. Not sure if this has been brought up elsewhere (pardon the pun) but Cox was on the radio this morning and confirmed Simmo's comments about half a dozen other players who also got it but had to play, now several...

    Merrett 2 weeks R U Kidding

    So Fyfe get's 2 weeks for a hip and shoulder bump with accidental head collision and Merrett get's the same penalty for an intentional elbow to the face while not even looking at the ball. AFL=Inconsistency

    West Coast vs Fremantle @ Arena Joondalup - Simpson v Sumich

    Not sure if this has actually been noticed or not but WA don't get the opportunity to enjoy daylight savings and all the NAB challenge games are focused on being live to MELBOURNE viewing time at 7:30 which is actually 4:30pm over in this backward state. So...... we finally get to see a game of...

    Davey admits playing for a free

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-03-28/plant-feet-and-wait-for-free-davey But not only that it seems they have been training around that rule to exploit it. Yes I know what most of you will be saying/thinking "Hah this coming from a head-ducking cheat supporter" but this is different. Davey...

    King and McClure have WCE Top

    Just watching a bit of 360 last night and King and McClure did their final Top 8 with both of them giving the Eagles top position. McClure even had Fremantle 2nd. they don't like to talk us up much, particularly Kingy, but they obviously have respect for us. King also made the point that we NEED...

    AFL's Fantasy footy??

    Not sure if this has it's own forum or not but I couldn't find one so on the main board it goes. I've noticed the AFL now has it's own Fantasy footy league whereas in years gone by they had adopted the Toyota AFL Dreamteam. As far as I know we have generally had the two versions of Fantasy...

    Mark Seaby ?????

    Just heard on the radio a little rumour saying West Coast may look at drafting Mark Seaby in the pre-season draft as a back up just in case. My initial thought was WTF!!!!!! But on reflection if we are to make a big push this year and god forbid something happens to Nic or Cox do we really want...

    15 metres

    15m would have to be one of, if not the, most important measurements in our game. Constantly you will be watching a game and see a ball travel 10m and be paid a mark and another travel nearly 20 and be called play on. The same goes for running to far. 2 of the goals of the year were illegal, the...

    Who does Scooter tag

    Just wondering what people think about using Scooter to tag someone this week and who. I would actually like to see him go to Beams as he is in a bit of form, scores goals and seems to get a lot of easy balls. Swanny is always going to get his possessions and along with Pendles is quite...

    No love for Liam anymore ?

    Just wondering what has happened to Liam Anthony this year. Last year he was a ball magnet and just ran all day, this year he can't get a game. I had him in my DT from the start and he has just not been the same person/player so I got rid of him, losing lot's of money in the process. Has he...

    Top 4 play Bottom 4 once only

    This was brought up on AFL teams last night by BT I think it was, where he said maybe with the fixtures that teams that finish top 4 should only play teams that finished bottom 4 once in the following season. Such a simple yet obvious answer to the question of an unfair, uneven fixture draw...

    Battle for spots making us stronger

    Just looking at our extremely small injury list :D:eek: compared to last year it got me thinking how much harder it is to get a guernsey this year compared to last. There were guy's gettin games last year who probably didn't have the form to warrant it but because there was nobody esle they got...

    Ash Smith quiet acheiver

    Just thought I'd drop a thread giving some kudo's to Ash Smith. Pretty sure he came in as a replacement when Waters got injured and has just slotted straight in playing good consistent footy in a similar mode to Hurn with maybe a bit more speed. I reckon he has pretty well established himself...

    Foundation day derby

    With the long weekend this weekend being the WA Foundation day holiday I was thinking it would be a good opportunity for a Western Derby. The two teams could alternate each year as to whom get's it as a home game and it could become a regular fixture. It is a good time into the season so both...

    Players reported during games too often

    Two that stand out from this round are the Dean Brogan and Adam Selwood reports for high contact. How can an umpire say "I am reporting you for head high contact" if no contact was made with the head??? Either the umpire is guessing that high contact was made because he saw a player throw his...

    The WA Mids how they looking

    It seems you boys have a habit of recruiting star midfielders from WA. Black then Dalziel and now Rich (you lucky jammy barstools). How are they all going on the track? Particularly Rich and Dalziel. Dalziel came out of nowhere and just dominated, I will be sure and have him in my dreamteam this...

    Congrats Tigers fans and club

    Not sure if this has been done yet, had a quick look and didn't see a thread, but I had to congratulate all the fans and the club for taking a "punt" on Ben Cousins. I personally thought you guys showed a lot of passion and belief to bombard your Club's board with emails, letters, phone calls to...

    Jakovich on league teams

    Glenn Jakovich was on Fox League teams last night and had some interesting things to say. On himself - Has been approached by Woosh to join the coaching panel and was given time to think it over. Made his decision the day before to decline the offer as he felt he wasn't ready to take the next...

    With this trade period fast approaching and so much speculation on Kerr and Didak, how's this scenario.(yes it has been done to death but hey not much time left) Port Adelaide give their 3rd pick to Collingwood for Didak and collingwoods 2nd round pick. Collingwood then have two first round...
