So we are 6 rounds in and it’s very early days but think it’s an interesting conversation to have as players can hit a period of form then drop off as the year goes on. Anyway for Eagles I’d have our top 5 as
1. Reuben Ginbey - by an enormous amount . Will win the award in a canter I’d think...
I tend to find these discussions bounced around many many different threads so its probably worth localising it to one. If their is one thing to understand or look at over these last 5 years is not much has changed in the last 5 years... Sure we moved Kelly to the WAFL for a few weeks and Mini...
Im a bit wary that off the 6 day break we may need some more midfield run
IN: Hewett, Brock
OUT: Yeo, Lindsay
Brock in to make the defense taller plus find some midfield time for Baker
Hewett in as Yeos natural replacement. If Hewett deemed not fit enough I think Lindsay stays in and Allan...
Atlanta have this awkwardness in that Trae Young is now a bench piece but then dont have the courage to pull the trigger. With how Jalen Johnson plays he kind of needs a catch and shoot 3 point shooter somewhere which is Alexander-Walker. Without one the offense just stagnates and when they miss...
It’s an interesting question this given just how toxic the Nickelodeon and Disney machines are and it kind of makes you think about the best and worst shows .
For me the best kids show of all time was Hey Arnold as far as cartoons goes
As far as non cartoons go I think Big Time Rush is the...
Probably deserves a thread
Rumours are Fremantle have approached with interest in signing him on the rookie list. Cox wants a 2 year deal to make the move after Dockers offered 1. Expectation is Dockers agree and give him the 2 year deal. He will just play WAFL as backup to Jackson/Darcy...
At what point does this deliberate draft manipulation simply end? Its becoming a joke. Something needs to budge here... maybe more then one thing
In the scenario here id almost like to see GWS take Jake Lloyd and tell him to either retire or move down the road. Somethings gotta give
Tons of murmurs over in W.A that this week will be his last game at Eagles and he is off to St Kilda on a 4 year 2.8 mill deal.
Question is what is his worth? St Kilda dont have too much to give us in that they only have pick 8 and 44 for now and suspect Eagles will need currency to get other...
Deserves a thread. Collingwood offered him a 1 year deal on fairly mediocre money which has peaked the interest of Demons and Sydney who are both offering 2. If he does leave Collingwood get nothing back most likely as far as compensation goes so its a case of would Collingwood match a 2 year...
I think he probably deserves a thread of his own even after committing last year. He has clearly shown himself too good for the VFL while at the same time not being selected. He played 1 game, played well and got dropped. He cant be happy playing VFL when he has options elsewhere
I think his...
Apparently chucked a wobbly when he was dropped and will listen to other clubs interest
I cant honestly say I see alot of suitors for the guy. Maybe last year Carlton would have had a go but not after the season they had. I could see North taking him on for nothing or St Kilda in the same way...
According to his manager he has told GWS he is unhappy with not being in the AFL side and wants to explore his options in the off season with a few Victorian clubs showing interest. He has been very good in the VFL all year. Kicke$ 10 goals in last 3 weeks and averaging 9 marks a game...
Reported by Ryan Daniels that Erasmus has 4 clubs interested in him at present. The West Coast Eagles and 3 other Victorian teams. He has broken into the Fremantle midfield and shown some good signs in the past 4 weeks however. He stayed with Fremantle on a short term deal and has taken the spot...
A new vaccine is out for the new variant. Will you or will you not get the vaccine? More COVID around in Perth then ever in my experience so would have to be a yes from me
Over the past two weeks we have seen players so called managed in the lead up to a game. I think we got 2 current examples of how its done between Collingwood and Hawthorn
Collingwood - They announced it right after the game. Mentioned who/when/why . The betting markets opened right after and...
In 2025, we have never been more entrenched in the "sack the coach its all his fault mindset". By my count we have the below as being called to be sacked basically every week
Matthew Nicks
Michael Voss
Justin Longmuir
Simon Goodwin
Alastair Clarkson
Ken Hinkley
Honorable Mentions : Luke...
Im surprised no one is talking about this. In my eyes he is arguably one of the most likely players in the league to leave his club to chase success, particularly to a side like Fremantle
He has openly said he isnt happy at Eagles. He is a guy whose made a insane amount of cash so far in his...
Im sorry but this needs its own thread and needs one ASAP
Enough is enough
If AFL can find 600 million for ****ing Gold Coast they can find some for well the actual players
We as fans need to demand better. This is just not on. Its a black stain on the game right now. It cannot contimue for...
This is crass and probably worse then what the GWS players were told off for but apparently this is funny and not worth worrying about? Seems a odd double standard to me.
I guess one is well liked by the media and the others are not. That simple
WTF are Lakers doing? You are struggling for offense in general and off the bench so you bring in a defensive wing?
I can only assume they want to move Rui to the bench to get more shots up from there or something. Even then I dont know what that means for Vanderbilt when he is back. Do they...
This is legit. You can either come or not. Im going to put a date on this first post when a clear date can be decided but quite simply, at one of our first training sessions im literally going to the training session to protest. Whether I am there by myself so be it but enough is enough quite...
Im surprised no thread exists yet. He had a good end to the season and with Collingwood not in a rush to sign him on I can 100% see him elsewhere. A fair few teams make sense to me here
Krueger to Port Adelaide to replace Charlie Dixon
Kreuger to Brisbane on the IF Joe Daniher retires
Krueger...
Been told to look elsewhere. He is looking for more midfield time than Carlton willing to offer . Seems a falling out with the coach.
I think Richmond would have interest as a replacement for Liam Baker. I could see Demons having some interest too. Can’t see many other options
I’d be shocked...
As bizarre as this is, apparently, he has a few AFL clubs interested in him. His WAFL form has been pretty decent this year but his back is absolutely cooked so its just a bit odd why anyone would be interested
Demons would be a option as I think would Port. Maybe someone wants him as a ready...
Rumors today that a Victorian club will offer 8 years 12 mill for him. Not really sure he is worth that much but I do get it. His versatility is amazing as is his ceiling. I cant see Gold Coast matching such a contract offer since they just cant afford it
Id be shocked if this unnamed club...
Sought a contract extension from Essendon and got told No and to look elsewhere. Think he might have a few suitors and suspect he will be given away for free. I could see St Kilda wanting him to replace Battle, Collingwood wanting him instead of Keane, Sydney wanting him as a ready made player...
Ive gone down a rabbit hole I gotta admit here. Being self-employed and very easily distracted leads me to research stupid things. Yesterday I got sidetracked by Gold Coast and the funding the AFL gives them via distribution of income. In particular I was comparing 5 clubs. Gold Coast, Brisbane...
Surely he is off after he got thrown under the bus by Adelaide?
Id expect a fair few clubs would have interest. First thought was Carlton. Chased Hayward and didnt get anywhere and feel like Rachele kind of would play a similar role. North Melbourne would also have interest
Think his worth is...
In a thread on the Eagles board, someone wrote up a list of rookie listed players we had and taken back to 2016 when Liam Ryan was coming off a good year. Kicked 40 gials in 16 games and just showed he was ready for next step. Instead of selecting him, Eagles decided to pick up a treasure chest...
The body isnt even cold yet, BUT we need to get acting on this immediately. We should be sounding out candidates tomorrow and getting offers in before other clubs enter the fray
For me its down to 3.
Ashley Hansen
Jaymie Graham
Dean Cox
I know everyone keeps saying Cox but think he has a...
