I was doodling a version of the Brisbane logo that was more inspired by the Fitzroy lion but still distinct from it and decided to go through the rest of the league for funsies. Some of these are based on previous stuff I've done, all are on shields because I started that way and just carried on...
Might as well start a thread for it.
State of Origin 2026
WA v Victoria
Perth Stadium - Saturday, 14 February @ 4:40pm
Teams
WA (coach Dean Cox)
Victoria (coach Chris Scott)
I'll be there, melting (due to both the heat and the umpiring)
Last game before cricket season! Sydney have been the dominant team all year (save some confusing losses to Richmond and Port) while Brisbane fought back from a bad start to the season to hit the top 4 and then blew it towards the end and have had to get here the hard way.
Both teams loaded...
To use up some jokes I had stored relive my board glory days commemorate the departure of Adam Simpson, I've decided to reflect upon his final year at the Eagles in the most appropriate form available: Simpsons jokes.
Preseason
An embarrassing loss to Fremantle (and a waste of a muggy...
Correct. The default hipster expression was smug. "Oh you get your clothes at a store? Mine are hand picked from inner city dumpsters by a former French coal miner."

This one slipped through to the keeper in the Grand Final rush I suspect, but Rod Moore - club doctor from 1986 to 2012 - passed away last week.
A long-term servant of the club, it sounds like he will be missed by many.
* The outrage over social media is building, the details are sickening.

I think this case has been alluded to on this board.
Until a dark, hilarious day in 2019 one of this board's proudest traditions was Brad Scott Week. Now, thanks to Essendon sacking, unsacking and then resacking their coach in a desperate and futile attempt to secure Clarkson (who chose North instead because this is all connected) last year, Brad...
So the preseason training thread's gotten a bit... off the training part of the title and with some actual training commencing next week it seems like a good time to shift the arguments somewhere else so it's easier to find the 'Gee' posts.
Have at it, how will we go in 2023? Have we hit rock...
Hello fellow Eagles supporters. Are you, like me, tired of the unimaginative supporter gear available? Sick of Cotton On t-shirts that are the same across all teams but with different colours?
Good news! I have decided to do something about it! Presenting Legally Distinct Designs - the finest...
It's the off-season for us.
#1 - Eagles
Naturally. Majestic, native apex predator that shits on everything below it.
#2 - Lions
Much like the above but not native and with a poorer pooping range.
#3 - Tigers
Lions with less hair and no friends. Makes a nice rug, admittedly.
#4 - Demons...
In the interests of the Contracts thread, the Injuries thread, Preseason thread, etc. not being swamped by the same argument over and over again, and in the interests of being able to say "I told you so".

Game starts here
I'm running a West Coast-themed game of Werewolf. If you didn't see my post in RDT, this is basically how it works:
Register your interest here to play. As we're all pretty bored by this point, pick any Eagle past or present to roleplay in the game for added spice...
As we near that phase in the lifecycle of a football supporter, where the sunny optimism of the preseason crashes into the cold, hard reality of Round 1 and we realise that that kid we picked up in the 4th round probably won't be the player that wins us the flag this year, I figure we're in need...
As it says on the tin.
Given the body and the shit they found on his computer, I'd say they've probably got the right guy. Too late for justice, unfortunately.
Friends, comrades, lurking opposition supporters and perverts who meant to write "BigBooty", it's almost a year now since our Most Glorious Supreme Leader Adam Simpson took over the best club in the competition. Then the police were called and he had to leave. Then a week later, West Coast hired...
Sorry everybody, I was supposed to do the preview but was interstate with limited internet access all week. I was going to do a summary of every game so, to atone, I'll do that after this game.
Meanwhile we've got a dead rubber courtesy of Sydney dropping their bundle and God knows what'll...
