West Coast Eagles

After becoming the first Western Australian team to be accepted in the AFL in 1986, the West Coast Eagles did not take long to establish themselves in the competition. West Coast have already won three AFL flags, including a one point victory in the 2006 Grand final against Sydney – the team which beat the Eagles in the 2005 AFL decider. West Coast have since forged a great rivalry with the Swans.

by Andrew Slevison, 8 May 2013

by Kim Horton, 3 May 2013

Many had selected the West Coast Eagles this season as genuine premiership threats, yet with one win from the first five games of the season, are the doomsayers correct in predicting their demise?

Long, cold winter ahead for Western Bulldogs

by Cameron Rose, 20 May 2013

The Melbourne Football Club is in the most dire state of any AFL side since Fitzroy in 1996, yet their stunning on-field mediocrity has been made to look positively finals-like by the Western Bulldogs in the last twelve months between winters.

A conference system won’t provide AFL equality

by Alfred Chan, 20 May 2013
