The Soaring

The Recap A sub-par Melbourne side were no match for the West Coast Eagles rebounding off their first loss of the season at Geelong. The final result of 77 points was perhaps even an understatement of the difference between the sides as the Eagles inaccuracy in front of goal, particularly early ...

Recap The Eagles lost their first game of the season, going down by 39 points to Geelong at Skilled Stadium. It was a disappointing game by the Eagles standards and Geelong outplayed them in all aspects to gain the points. Geelong 4.4 6.8 11.12 16.13 109 West Coast Eagles 4.2 5.5 5.9 10.10 70 Top Five

The Recap Hard fought win by the Eagles - workmanlike is the term I've heard used - and that is about right. The Bulldogs were disciplined and they have a number of very smart footballers which gets them the most out of different situations they find themselves in. It wasn't enough ...

The Run-down Five in a row now for the undefeated Eagles after they knocked off another "gallant" opponent in Richmond. Richmond jumped out to a 15 point quarter time lead, but the Eagles cruised home to win by 23 points. Richmond 5.3 6.4 8.7 11.10 76 West Coast Eagles 2.6 8.10 10.13 14.15 99 The Top Five

The Run-Down I don't know if it was just me, but "derby fever" didn't seem to be quite so gripping this time 'round compared to previous encounters. Anyhow, we were still ready for a tight cross town tussle for message board bragging rights. The Eagles superior use of the ball and ...

The Run Down West Coast Eagles 3.2 7.6 10.11 12.15 87 Collingwood Magpies 4.3 8.4 10.8 11.9 75 In a tight tussle the Eagles prevailed over a plucky Magpies side by 12 points. We were no where near the intensity of the previous week's win over Sydney and in parts of the game the Magpies took it up to us. However, even though ...

The Run-down Sydney Swans 3.4 3.8 6.11 10.13 73 West Coast Eagles 6.0 10.2 10.6 11.8 74 The Eagles travel to Sydney's Telstra Stadium to take on everyone's favourite rivals the Swans of Sydney. No Cousins, nor other best 22'ers in Hansen, Fletcher, Butler or Nicoski et al. The late news was Embley was out (replaced by LeCras) and the big loss of ...

Last night the Eagles started their ascent up the 2007 premiership mountain with their first pre-season intra-club scratch match. Whilst I didn't see the match, we can report the following:
