    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    If we've exceeded the soft cap in consecutive years, it would be getting to the point where we can't afford it. Year 3 the tax is 200% - 400%, depending how much we've exceeded the cap by. Mini's salary would push the excess of the cap past the highest amount, so a 400% tax. The lowest salary...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    We're not in a position to sack him in 2026 because of the soft cap. We've been exceeding it the last few years, we can't go into 2027 carrying two coaches wages under an already exceeded cap. Not without cutting back our football department, which would be irresponsible. But by mid-2027, if...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    We're as bad under Mini as we were under Simpson. Maybe it's not the coach, but club culture. The same culture that saw us drop off so immensely after 2018. We all felt it in 2019, the lack of effort, the cavalier attitude to losses believing they could turn it on when needed. The fact that NN...

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Reporters at press conferences are too afraid to ask real questions. We'll get the standard bulltish "what went wrong" and a reply of "we learned a lot". Been learning from our losses for 5 years and still suck harder than any club in the league.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    A couple weeks ago I promised my 5yr old son I'd take him to the footy next week. Need to figure out something to get out of the promise. I wonder if I took him to the Richmond game instead if he would realise its not his team? Colours would seem kinda similar to a 5 year old, right?

    List Mgmt. 2026 Draftee/NGA/FS Discussion

    Here's a fun question. Clubs can only enter the draft with as many draft picks as they have list spots available, and can only hold as many picks during draft night as they have list spots available. So what happens to a clubs last pick once they are given compensation? Will we have the...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Draftee/NGA/FS Discussion

    When the R2 picks are issued, does that mean (using current ladder) R2 picks would be 19.Richmond 20.Richmond 21.Essendon 22.Essendon 23.Carlton 24.Carlton 25.West Coast 26.West Coast 27.GWS 28.GWS Or would it be more like each team picks their "compensation" pick and then the R2 proper starts...

    Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs St Kilda

    That's where I'm at. Today's game was the first game I've watched live in 12 months and I left at 3qtr time (as did many Eagles supporters). Spent most of last year and start of this watching the highlights the day after the game. Not sure I'll bother with even that.

    Game Day Round 7, 2026: West Coast vs St Kilda

    I just realised it's still the 3rd quarter...honestly was counting down the mins to the final siren.

    Game Day Round 7, 2026: West Coast vs St Kilda

    1 goal in a half of football is glorious viewing.

    Game Day Round 7, 2026: West Coast vs St Kilda

    Eagles have 2 options here: 1) get angry and play like men possessed; or 2) drop heads and let St Kilda run away with it. My money is in the latter happening.

    AFL is a joke.

    Game Day Round 7, 2026: West Coast vs St Kilda

    Lovely umpiring. Ball rolls away from ump and every player ignores it. Good guy Bailey picks it up & throws it to ump who immediately balls it up, leaving Bailey out of position. Bailey the gets done for the slightest nudge in the back as he tries to get to the ball up.

    We've got the wind this quarter. I expect a lot of goals.

    Really over these goalless quarters. We've got to hold the world record over the last 5 years.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade/Contract Discussion

    He'll be a restricted free agent though, right? With Sydney looking like a top 4 side, the band 1 compensation for Warner would be grossly inadequate. Let alone with Tasmania coming in, their band 1 compo will end up pick 30. If Warner wants to go, I think it wouldn't hurt to make a play for...

    The players we get from Brisbane have a pretty good history of being injured. Yeo, Dev, Starc.

    Autopsy Round 6, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Fremantle

    Just watched the replay as I wasn't able to catch the game yesterday. Half way through the 2nd quarter we were 2.8 (20) to freo's 2.4 (16). At that point I thought we were going to have a competitive game, maybe even a win if we started kicking goals instead of behinds. What a disappointment...

    Prediction Round 6, 2026: Changes vs Fremantle - With or Without Sultanas

    Bringing Flynn & Cripps back better just be Mini's attempt at humour. Shouldn't even be on the extended bench, certainly not make the final team. This whole "mature bodies" should only be a thing if we're injury depleted to the point where we're choosing between Flynn and Barnett for the ruck role.

    2nds WAFL Watch - 2026 Edition

    Looks mentally weak, not just because of his onfield performances but the comments he's previously said about losing the first ruck tap setting the scene for the rest of his game. When you throw in that he was drafted to a historically bad AFL side with an equally bad WAFL team, he just hasn't...

    Prediction Round 5, 2026: Changes vs Geelong

    Umps aren't going to appreciate being thrown under the bus by the AFL. Look out for them to stick it up Harley to get their own back.

    Prediction Round 5, 2026: Changes vs Geelong

    Actually forgot he's also available. Dev fo shizzle over Hall.

    Prediction Round 5, 2026: Changes vs Geelong

    Out: Owies, Flynn, Champion In: Yeo, BWilliams, Hall Owies sucks. Flynn sucks even harder Champion will get broken in half by Geelong Yeo if fit, otherwise just rush Hewett back in. Rather him for a couple quarters before he's gassed than Owies. BWilliams can't be worse than Flynn. Hall looked...

    Prediction Round 5, 2026: Changes vs Geelong

    Our small forward situation really is dire. Over the last 20 years we've a procession of champion small forwards, from Phil Matera, to Mitch Brown, LeCras, peak Cripps, Rioli & Ryan. Now its Owies, "should have retired last year" Cripps and a couple skinny kids who should be learning their craft...

    Autopsy Round 4, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Sydney

    Disappointing result but you're gonna get these when you're a young developing side missing Yeo, Edwards, Murdoch, Dev & Starc. Look what a flop Pies were with Daicos out or Skidney's performances with Heeney & Gulden out (granted, higher quality outs. But it's all relative). What really...
