Appreciate that they got spanked today but what the Eagles have achieved in the last 2 seasons under Daisy Pearce shows what can be done when

1/ a review shows you're not investing in your women's program as you should

2/ you do something about it

3/ you have the courage to get rid of a coach who clearly had lost the playing group and was simply a poor coach

4/ you appoint someone who is invested in women's footy and is an icon of women's footy and sets high standards

5/ you draft top end talent

Kudos to the Eagles

The laughing face seems to indicate taking the pee out of him.

He was a decent player who put his head over the ball. Bit harsh.

Should be hoping the best for him. Ditto dow. And sonsie (even if he is less head over the ball type )  when he gets cut.

It wasn't directed at him it was a bit of sarcasm directed at the post I responded to

Better pit one of these  :sarcasmin next time

I'm disappointed he got cut.

Think the way he got treated.. not getting selected despite being in the best 3 every week in the VFL, so he didn't hit his contract extension was pretty average by the Club

Imagine praising a club for finishing below 16th for over a half a decade.

 whos praising them for anything.

Fact is after 20 years of mostly middling finishes 2000 - 2019 they were getting nowhere.

iN 2020 they clearly made the choice to totally bottom out and they have been near the bottom for 6 years.

What was the choice that was forced upon us last year oh thats right bottom out and do the hard yards how stupid are some its not rocket science.

We can be nm of the 2000 - 2019 period or we can do the hard yards and actually fully embrace bottom finishes for three or four seasons and give ourselves a chance to climb out of the mire and actually be challengers again.

Like north we will have to keep on bringing in top talent and then get the games into them. Anyone who thinks just one draft or even two or three will be enough really are delusional.

Did north have a draft like Algar. Sims. Six first rounders?

3 and 4* shortly after?

Nine players currently 19 and under prior to the draft. Arguably with decent ceiling

What happened to a top4 side thinking he is worth a spot?

Still time for him to find a new AFL home....

Not much class with this comment.

How so?

He's signed with a WAFL club just like El Nour has re-signed with Richmond’s VFL side for 22026

That doesn't mean either are still not a chance for find a spot on an AFL list.

Opening round is a deceitful way of taking the opening game away from Us and Carlton imho.

It absolutely is.

We have free agency now to speed things along if we recruit correctly.

Our backline should have been sorted by now if gibcus came up.

Pass mark is the fitness department doing their job.
