at some point their President has to stand up and say enough is enough and purge everything from that disgusting CEO down - there’s too many still there from the Narcotic era
So the first pieces of the rebuild are in. A couple more to go this season and a few more next. Going to be a bit of hurt ahead, but you can bet yer balls the Eagles will be pushing up the ladder in a two or three years and not having an endless “rebuild” like some other club.
What the Eagles need is a rebuild of their supporter base. A few more years of pain and misery will do those downhill skiers the world of good. I met a bloke today asked him if he follows the AFL to see if I can get a bit of chat going about the draft. He sheepishly said yeh I follow the Eagles but lost a bit of interest the last couple of years not sure why I think I’ve just been busy with work blah blah blah…?
I was making good coin from this customer so didn’t rub it in. Anyway good to see the Eagles didn’t do what they usually do at the draft and try and be smart arses. This is how you do a rebuild. Be shithouse, get first pick in every round and make good selections.
Cohen Livingstone is a steal. Special talent.
Gee DD, you seem to have a ‘mate’ for every occasion…..you’re a popular man. Do you really think that anyone from the Eagle’s senior admin right through to the supporters really give a damn for your mate? We all know a club is better off without that type of person, be it WAFL or AFL All things considered, the Eagles faithful have generally been that….faithful, a trait not found in all clubs.
Where did I say this bloke was a “mate”? I’m just pointing out the fickleness of the Eagles supporters. A lot of them like you think you are superior to the Dockers even when you are shit.
Speaking of mates, one of my cousins mates has just sold his north of the river house to simon goodwin. Maybe an investment property, maybe not…time will tell

Fickle??? You’ve obviously forgotten the “fickleness” of the freo supporters in the past. Ever been to one of their games when they are getting flogged? But hey, yeh, happy to admit the Eagles are shit atm and have been for 3 years but they’ll get back up there without 7 “rebuilds”
Oh yeh, nearly forgot to add….Eagles are superior to Freo….did you think to check back on each club’s history before you made that comment? Anyway, I give you last word, this argument is going nowhere.

May be keeping an eye on Simmo and JL?? Both are on thin ice.

You started this discussion champ when you couldn’t help yourself with your tired old lines about Fremantle. Try to be humble and enjoy the gifts that Santa McLachlan has given you for being shit. I will enjoy watching Harley Reid play for a WA club and watch and listen to the VFL commentators drooling and weeping at the same time that one of their guns is living and playing out of the West.
So sit back and enjoy but you know what’s coming. There will be a constant campaign mostly based on baseless rumour and innuendo from the east to pry Harley out of Western Australia and back to Melbourne.

Wasn’t it Simon Goodwin who handed Daniel Curtin his Adelaide jumper on draft night in Perth? Daniel decided stay home for the draft.
Hey DG surely Jarrod Schofield would be in the sights of the Eagles and Fremantle if either stumble. Remember the late great Percy Johnson said it was a joke Schofield isn’t a senior coach in the AFL.

The Weags have Reid for a min 3 years which is now the min contract period for drafted players, but AFL contracts are not exactly set in concrete these days, there’s always a way out when push comes to shove. Unless the Weags are pushing for finals in 3 years time, Reid will be off quicker than a brides nighty

Anyone know who Harley’s manager is? Eagles supporters better pray it’s not Paul “Jerry” Connors. He was Juddy’s manager. Everytime he extends if it’s only 2 or 3 years that will whip the VFL media into a frenzy.
and everyone starts to panic before the lad has even pulled his boots on. But then, who am I to argue with the experts??
Geez, 7 West media including Channel Eagles are losing their minds over this kid. They will be saying he’ll cure cancer or be able to sort out the middle east before long. The messiah has landed.
FMD he better be an absolute champion very quickly or they will turn. Huge pressure on the lad, I hope he turns out to be that champion and WC get a good deal for him when he heads back home in 2027.
I feel sorry for the lad. He’ll leave not because of WCE but due to The West hounding the shit out of him.
He can’t go to the toilet without them reporting it.
Viper I don’t support either club but the imbalance of reporting between WC and Freo is blatantly obvious by Channel Eagles/7 West media.
Not through any doing of the Eagles, the media do no get held to account at all.
I reckon the Eagles would be happy if them and their players get left alone for a change.
Probably not keen on too much media in recent times but crave it when they are winning, like any club I guess.

Agree with your comment Viper, time to leave the kid alone. I’m a dyed in the wool Eagles supporter since day 1, (but they’re second to the Sharks), and am sick of hearing about every time he takes a crap. It’s a bit like hearing about NN’s missus having a kid. For God’s sake, I wish the media would move on to real news.
au contrare
why would Twevor stop his media spin?
after all this Victorian child is taking 108% of the scrutiny and almost totally removing the dirty pus (Twevor & his numerous cronies) from view
par for that course
