Flying High with the West Coast Eagles

Three Eagles Axed

Already out the door of the West Coast Eagles are three players from the 2008 list - Steven Armstrong, Chad Jones, and James Thomson. No surprise for Jones - when Notte was selected in front of him twice the writing was on the wall. Thomson is a chance to be relisted as ...

The Monday Expert Round 17 - West Coast Eagles vs St Kilda

Summary West Coast 2.3 6.5 9.11 15.13 (103) St Kilda 4.5 6.6 9.9 12.14 (86) I enjoyed this game more than any all year. It was a ripper. Maybe that's contributed to the long delay on writing this up - it was such sweet relief from 7 ...

Wouldn’t you believe it

The best game of the year and I've been too busy to give any time to blog about it. It's coming. In other news, good to see Shaun McManus has decided to retire with his last game being a "grand final".

What I would do if I was the Eagles Coach Part 1

First up this is not a pitch for the job, I hope that is obvious. However as I thought more about the sad plight of our team and what is causing this shocking, recording breaking slump I tried to come up with some solutions. I know I am no footy ...

West Coast Eagles sign Michael Voss in coaching coup

I think this is the best news we've had from the West Coast Eagles in weeks. Michael Voss, Brownlow Medalist and triple premiership captain with the Brisbane Lions has agreed to join the Eagles coaching staff on a two year contract. Who knew signing Assistant Coaches could be such a thrill ...

Respect: Michael Braun

Congratulations to Michael Braun on a stellar career with the West Coast Eagles. Brauny called it quits today after 12 seasons with the club. Eagle champ Braun announces retirement Michael Braun will be remembered as one of the favourite sons of the Eagles footy club. From being selected with the unlikely 53rd ...

Recap: Essendon 4.6 7.11 11.4 16.17 (113) West Coast 4.1 6.6 9.11 13.13 (91) It didn't surprise me that during the telecast the commentary team ...

The Mountain Just Got Bigger

...with the news Matt Priddis is injured and out for 3 weeks (read at least three weeks). I can't help but think with another consistent topline performer down we are in desperate danger of dropping off the map. I know it's only round 4 but we got to know there is ...

My All Australian Team

The All Australian selectors have released their shortlist of 40 players vying for the 2008 All Australian team. In view of the fact our side is now on holidays I thought I'd put together my AA team from the shortlist. This is my preferred team, not necessarily who I think ...

End of the Road

That's it then. It's been a while since I posted here. A combination of a holiday, sickness and apathy caused by some insipid and uninspiring games. What can you say but I'm glad its over. Not sure if I've ever felt that way about a season before, at least not ...
