    Age v youth?

    Houston we have a problem ... There’s been much discussion on the BB about age v youth. So I thought it might be helpful to look at our list. So, our best players (as per MC)? Hurn (35) NicNat (32) Shuey (32) Gov (30) Cripps (30) JD (30) Gaff (30) Yeo (29) TK (28) Hunt (27) Sheed (27)...

    Are you sick of WCE spin and BS?

    Hi, I know this cuts across a few other threads but I'm putting it up purely to emphasise that many of us are sick of being fed spin and BS. Nowhere have we as a club admitted that with this list we should be doing better. Instead we are given the 'excuse of the week'. Or that it is just a...

    Vic biased 'national' media

    Hi, I'm an Eagles supporter. On our board we have had a very popular and long running thread on the above topic. I am wondering if there is any feeling in your club about how us 'interstate' supporters get pretty much ignored by the supposedly national broadcasters. There are many many issues...

    More racist abuse for JC

    Right! I am mightily pissed off! This is disgusting. I thought we might have all matured and grown up a bit. WHEN WILL IT END? And sorry, anyone who disagrees - be ready for a full shirtfront - and probably without the elbow tucked in!

    A bit of history: The VFL was almost broke in 1985

    From the outset: remember WCE and Brisbane each paid $4 million to join the VFL. Okay, now check the article and video clip. In the video Graeme Samuel said “in 1985 the VFL was broke” and “the total competition had net assets worth about $4 million - including Waverly Park”. Ross Oakley noted...

    Biased/incompetent media coverage

    As the AFL starts to negotiate media rights coverage and as they continue to try to convert those without traditional Aussie Rules backgrounds, one thing they may need to look at is the persistent bias shown in the media. If you follow an 'interstate' (i.e. non-Vic) team you are constantly...

    Melb meeting place to watch Eagles on TV

    Anybody getting together in a pub in Melbourne to watch the Eagles games on TV? Where? BTW only five games in Melb and only five free to air. We gotta get together somewhere - I couldn't stand another season of going to the local and fighting to have put the WCE game on (and keep it on all game).

    Hi, anyone getting together in the Dandenong area to watch our matches this season? Be great to scream with a few others - and going into the city is way too far. Cheers, G

    Anyone got any idea what percentage of possible games they have played together? Must be very very low.

    Ex-Eagles who became something

    Hi, in a discussion the other day we were trying to think of Eagles players who have been delisted, traded etc who have gone on to be good players at other clubs. Obviously Judd springs to mind but the Eagles had little choice with that one. Can anyone think of players who we have let go who...

    Good Eagles pub near Caulfield (Melbourne)

    Hi, having disconnected Fox (goodriddance) I'll need to find a pub to watch the 14 or so games that aren't free-to-air in Melbourne. Anyone know of any good pubs near Caulfield (or not so near!) that regularly put on WCE games? I know many pubs have footy on but not all want to put on WCE...
