    News Offseason Staffing Changes - 2025 Edition

    A couple of “WAFL” playing assistants would be nice. I suspect/hope that Mini will bring in one of his men.

    Prediction Round 18, 2025: Changes vs Port Adelaide

    I agree, he has a large tank, a good athlete, plays at the intensity required, willing/disciplined to play any role asked, and is brave. I’d imagine he would be one of the first picked every week based on that.

    Autopsy Round 17, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs GWS

    I think there is a few misleading stats there. 6 of the 13 less than 50 game players for the Eagles have played less then 10 games. The Giants had 2 players less than 10 games. The 3 players for the eagles with 150+ games were Duggan, Cripps, and Kelly. Every 2nd post on this thread is calling...

    Autopsy Round 9, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Positives Won the clearance battle today. Won two quarters also. Negatives - Richmond scored 64 points from turnovers. That’s the game right there, not umpires, not the Gross tackle, but turnovers

    Prediction Round 9, 2025: Changes vs Richmond

    In - Shanahan - Out - A Reid In - Champion - Out - Owies In - Brock - Out McGovern In - Gross - Out B Allen. Sub - Kelly Gross into the midfield, Hough into the backline.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Melbourne

    Is there a site which has stats on centre bounce attendances? Without going back and checking, I felt it was pretty consistent the first quarter and the chopping/changing was a necessity because nothing worked. I have a view point the team is trying so many options through the centre to see...

    Prediction Round 8, 2025: Changes vs Melbourne

    J Williams never came back on after the blood rule. Potentially concussion?

    Prediction Round 7, 2025: Changes vs Hawthorn

    Need to wait until the WAFL game, injury report, and MRO report, but in an ideal world no changes. Need to reward form after our best game of the season, & the mix just felt right. Unfortunately it sounds like Allen with be bought in for someone (Probably A Reid) and that is a thought that...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Carlton

    We had 5 top 10 picks on our list in 2018. 3 didn’t play in the GF (Gaff, Shepherd, Nic Nat)

    Prediction Round 6, 2025: Changes vs Essendon

    In Greggo, Brockman. Out Hunt, Jack Williams. Gov in for HEdwards if recovered. Badly need leadership and communication in the backline.

    Prediction Round 5, 2025: Changes vs Carlton

    Like most Eagles fans I’ve watched the 18GF replay more the. I can count. The first goal of the game Travis Varcoe runs past Hurn in vision that is almost identical to Duggar’s on the weekend.

    Prediction Round 5, 2025: Changes vs Carlton

    In - Ryan, Waterman, Hutchinson. Out - Long, Owies(inj), Kelly. Hutchinson to replace Kelly. Ryan and Waterman to replace Long and Owies. Allen to the backline to replace Cole. Cole to be the substitute. Petch unlucky.

    Prediction Round 5, 2025: Changes vs Carlton

    Flynn’s WAFL performance needs to be put in perspective. The East Freo starting ruck was 196cm and averaged 4 hitouts across 3 league games last year.

    Autopsy Round 4, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs GWS

    Positives Harley Reid’s best game of the year by far. The number of centre bounces Hall and Gross attended. I’m hopeful both remain in the team for the rest of the year, bar a rest here and there. Archer Reid has grown in confidence each week, he also played his best game for the club IMO. I’d...

    Rumour Noah Balta assault charges

    I do wonder if the club had access to the CCTV vision or if they saw it for the first time tonight like the rest of us? It’s pretty damming vision. The Eagles had a player - Murray Newman, who was contracted and sentenced to 12 months for grievous bodily harm in 2014. They kept him on, moved...

    Autopsy Round 1, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Gold Coast

    I’ve spent a lot of today wondering what the score would have been if the Suns midfield group (Witt’s, Rowell, Anderson, & Miller) swapped jumpers with with their eagles counterparts at half time. The optimist in me suspects it would have been close to a draw, so I’m taking it as a positive...

    Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Positives - JK gets an enforced break to freshen up. - Easy to identify our bigger bodied mids in Yeo and Redden being out as very important. - XON Showed me he has a real future. First time a midfielder has done that in a while. - Cole, Duggan, Ryan all amongst the best. Cole and Duggan have...

    Round 13 Votes v GWS

    NN and Gov clear best. Great to see two 10 gamers in Rotham and Brander featuring in a lot of people’s top 5s.

    Any news on Ben Johnson? The club hasn’t put much news out on him in the scrimmage game reports.

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    Cousins, Kerr, and Judd were all better players then any midfielder we have now, even Kelly. Cousins and Judd externally were considered the best midfielders in the game at the time, and internally many considered Kerr better then the other 2. They also had Big Cox tapping it down their throats...

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    Is DV training to some degree today? I assume he will be in a similar boat to Rioli this year and mix his time between the club and back home.

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    Until Dec last year I lived 100m from the ground for about 10 years. Great place to live, but there are some very vocal residents that find anything to complain about. The Carlisle and Lathlain neighbourhood watch FB pages regularly has false (accidental) accusations against people minding their...

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    I think we will know more by Thursday. I suspect the club will play an extra mid forward for most of the year, regardless of the ruck set up. There is to much talent amongst the midfielders and not enough positions that I think there is no other choice Sheed was trialled there in the...

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    I agree with your assessment on the 3 back up ruckman. I’m hopeful Williams gets first crack in Rd 1 on the basis that - Unlike Hickey & Vardy (And Allen) Williams has completed a full preseason. - While Williams is very young by AFL ruckman standards, he has a big body and I’m hopeful his...

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    Allen is an unusual case compared to the others. While Simmo has mentioned he doesn’t want Allen backing up NN, he has also mentioned that he is too talented to be playing WAFL and that MC will find a place for him. He didn’t play any WAFL last year, but from memory he was the left-over...

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    There is also O Allen to consider for a place in R1, if not, the best 22 when fit. I would say Waterman is as much as a chance as the other forwards fighting for a spot. If we work on continuing on from last year, Waterman was considered best 22 available in the last 8 games, including both...

    Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

    As far as I can tell, The WCE have 38 players on the primary list, (The minimum amount allowed) 5 on the cat A rookie list, (Allowed 6 due to only having 38 players on the primary list), and 0 on the cat B list. There should only be one rookie spot available. Unless some creativity occurs to...

    Analysis Assessing the Midfield

    It’s been well documented that Masten put a renewed focus on endurance running over the preseason, although oddly it appears to me that he’s harder to move off the ball then previous years despite less weight lifting based training. He’s proven me wrong this year, is probably our hardest...
