I love west coast no matter what, whether we see a grandfinal this year or not for a long time, you dont write your team off EVER. It was absolutely gold watching them win the grand final in 2006 and I dont care if it takes them 10 years to get another one, Ill still be loyal to the WCE.

im a mad eagles fan, im so mad about them its sad people say, i carnt see any hart, i dont no were its gone, andrew embly in his face looks like his had some body die, i rember daniel kerr saying that he used to watch ben train, and he always tried to keep up with him, and he ben used to push him self and than so much more and kerr said he modeld him self around that, im sure other players did to, bens not hthere, whoses puishing who? i thought theyd brake out and play hard as againts freo?, they wer lucky to beat bris

I'am worried, very worried.It seems too me we lack leadership on the field when we really need someone too stand up and change the game.It was Ben's job and now there is no one.We have been hurt very badly over the last year and the boy's now need too stand united and bloody shut every one up....I for one am sick of the constant abuse I cop as a supporter by other feral supporters.They will be in a final you just watch and see,it is a very brave person who writes the Eagles off!!!!!

Thank goodness its happening now!! They've just got to communicate more and as Angela said work together and stop making silly mistakes. I agree they need to sort out the forward structure a bit better but everywhere else there are great signs for West Coast for the coming years. Don't rush for that panic button just yet......last years grand finalist (even tho they lost dismally and it couldn't have happened to a nicer team) are still 0-3!!

Yes I'm pushing the panic button already - can you seriously see us beating Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong, Port or even Collingwood & the Bulldogs any time soon?

Frustration is too much of an understated word. I believe the boys could still be at least a top 8 team, but the direction they are currently heading is no where near there. It looks like a total lack of communication is going on, plus a forward line that doesn't know what to do when the ball is headed for them. C'mon guy's, less handballing around like fairies, and more direct kicking!! Will be at the Swan's game next week, how about introducing yourselves to each other!! TIC....maybe.

Not sure about this year Victoria, but the eagles have a really young list with plenty of potential and a core of experienced players who can still play. Give em a year or two and they will bounce back.

Yeah we will! Our team has some fantastic players - just need to get them working together

yeah we will, definately, this year i think we'll end around number 5 on the ladder, all we need to do is work out how to work together again without cus.. and they showed what they could do in round one, we just need the passion again. i think we'll be seeing another grandfinal in 2010!!!

After 2 rounds!!! talk about jumping off the band wagon and pressing the panic button.
