Yea boi... gotta say its a good turn around from last year....

Keep them coming

another good win, and the boys are getting stronger. good sign for the next few years.

 Cox was on fire, his taps to Kerr and his communication around the stoppages were insane.       Big Nat and Embley were great as well.

I'm still not convinced with Ebert, he does some good things then he cock it up, turn it over by foot etc.   

great signs though, I'm stoked

i'm booking tickets to the home final!!! haha

There going crazy good to see them back in it

Good win. I tipped them to win. Unfortunately I havent tipped dockers tomorrow vs essendon. Cant see them winning although they should.

 great win blue and gold on top once again....port then carlton boy i look forward to that carlton game.

dockers are going to regret not playing barlow.....40+ Possesions in the WALF 

barlow did have a cracker of a game. Now mundy with a broken leg too!

Mate eagles looking the goods, easily top 8 this year, question will be can they push top 4.

They should get up quite easily this weekend over port, which puts them what 3 games away from making the finals!

Wet Toast are only doing well against bottom 8 teams. Only top 8 side they've beaten was the Shockers.

Yes, they're playing a hell of alot better than last season but talk of home finals and premierships is just a little premature don't ya think.

On a personal note it was good to see the Hawks push the Cats all the way (should've won) but bloody hell do we really need any more injuries

dont forget they creamed the bulldogs, who were tipped at top 4 this year!!

if you look at the ladder there certainly not a top 4 side

Well other than Freo we've played Sydney, Hawks, Essendon and Collingwood.

I reckon they're all top 8 sides and the only one we got pumped by was Collingwood (which is understandable).

I know they weren't wins but a close game against a good team still says a lot.

except 23pts against Sydney at home would've hurt

yeah Sydney game wasnt tooo flash.

I'd be hard pressed to say any team will beat the eagles from here on in at home.

Only exceptions would be Collingwood, Geelong, Carlton I'd say.

But they are yet to prove their level in MElbourne yet, and the Carlton game will be a test!

They have improved massively over the last 6 weeks. Unlike previous years the eagles have size with Nic Nat, Cox, Lynch, Kennedy, Darling. This is unusal for either WA side.

Been pretty impressed with Lynch. He's not kicked many goals, but geez his marking abilities have sky rocketed. Definately a lead up forward role now.

The other thing they have this year, is a fit team with a low injury count. Look at the saints, bulldogs and even freo. Injuries are killing them.

and you can chuck Hawthorn on that list too. Definatly an area where if Wet Toast can keep there injury list as it is they will do well.

But say if Kerr, Coxy and one of the forwards (especially Kennedy) goes down at the same time you'll be in big trouble.

Either way not being a WA team supporter it's still good to see both sides going OK.

in 2 weeks  

Im a hard eagles supporter, though i must admit when we dont play against the dockers, they do have a soft spot. Definately into supporting WE teams against the east....

Injuries can ruin a teams run to the cup (hawthorn for a flag, dockers for top 4), but sadly its part of the game. We had a horrid run of injuries. Matt i disagree with you saying if we loose cox or kerr or glass well start loosing. We have played minus kerr a couple time this season and won. in fact minus kerr/embly from a derby and we won, and won significantly..and we also have some young kids playing good footy it up in the WAFL(gaff,broome,lycett,stevens). I just dont think people are willing to consider the eagles a contender for top 4, till we knock a top team, fair enough. but the eagles this year are finals bound, All the stats show it. We are top 4 for alot of the keys of footy these days, though i do agree we arnt a top 4 side yet Gotta proove we can compete and beat the top teams. 

saying in comparison to hawthorn loosing franklin hodge and mitchell all at the same time would equal cox kerr and kennedy. Kennedy top 3 in gold kicking but im sure lecca could step it up if need be 

Carlton and Geelong in the next 3 games only time will tell.

my two cents.

your finals bound, just need to show it against a top 4 side.

You may have misread my point, I meant if 3 or 4 of your top players go down to long term injuries you will be hard pressed to cover them. Sure your doing well at the moment and yes it has been against lower strengthed clubs but you can only play who turn up.

Your comparison to the hawks is a little pointless coz we're already in huge trouble and will struggle to hold a top 4 spot. Probably finish 5-6th and bow out early.

Like I said it's good to see the WA sides doing well but just hold your excitement a little, can't expect wet toast to go from wooden spoon to top4. If it happens i'll gladly eat my words.

5th - 6th would be a good result. We're only half of the way through the season and further injuries will trash every side.

Freelong will be interesting to watch now Selwood is out for 3 - even though they have great ball carriers, he is a barometer for their performance each week.

Did anyone else see Dermott Brereton show how Selwood gets the free kicks the other week - cant remember which show, butvery good!
