- West Coast has put its future first-round pick, plus pick 23, on the table to try and land another early pick. Would be a trade back in option on the night.
- Brisbane among the clubs looking to trade into Port's pick 12 with 21 and a future first.
And just like that they’re back @WestCoastEagles 1-4 years return plus a few extras! Viney joined in on drills . Harley running and lights drills . Ginbey right in amongst it and looking fit!

@Thendy74 Definitely not. He is the last player in that Pick 3 range that we will be looking at. Because we got CDT last year and Baz’s improvement it’s very unlikely.
It’s gonna be extremely hard to pass up on Mellody if these highlights are anything to go by.
We are desperately lacking an elite ball user and smooth moving midfielder which he ticks the boxes for.
Could see a midfield of CDT, Reid, Willem, Warner and Mellody DOMINATING 🤤
Full season highlights for WA's Heath Mellody who started the season late but emerged with a rush in the second half of the year to put himself in open pool pick 1 contention.

Personally don’t see a world where Graham, Kelly, Viney, Yeo and Robertson all fit in the same side.
I really liked Dev’s start to 2026 and would have him ahead of Graham, and possibly Kelly. Yeo’s versatility probably keeps him in.
Herb for Duggan is a simple swap for me.
A few experienced Dees head west to strengthen the Eagles's side 🦅
See who the https://t.co/ZyVeWIyK6q team have selected for your club's best 23 for 2027: https://t.co/7t8LH0xUB6
Mixed feelings regarding our fixture.
- Happy to see us play in Canberra for the first time since early 2000’s
- Freo, Swans and Dees are double-ups are challenging
- Dreading the trips to Sydney, Brisbane AND Geelong 😬
- Primetime Sat nights 🔥
(Error with R1/3 dates oops)
Fremantle will HOST West Coast in the first derby in 2027 on a Friday night in Round 5 at 6:10pm (WST) as part of a double-header.
This will be the second game played that night, with a clash in Melbourne to start things off.
The full fixture is set to be announced as early as this week.
Here are a few things I’m hoping for:
- At least 1/2 games at the MCG
- No more Friday night double-header games
- To play the Dogs at Optus for the first time since 2022
- Avoid a trip to at least one of SYD, GEE
I’m hearing that we will open our season against the Gold Coast Suns AGAIN…
Not sure of the location or day, but it would be the fifth time since 2021 that it happens.
Fremantle open their season in Perth, wouldn’t be surprised if we are on the road again.
Since we’ve had Geelong twice, Sydney and Carlton, it felt about time that we played a team that we might be able to beat in Gather Round… even know we’ve lost our last 4 against them 😐)
Seems like we may only get one, maybe not any games at the G’ in 2027.
@nuffingtonpost Yeah I doubt we will be able to make this happen, and considering we will need future picks to possibly trade for Chad, probably no need.
Would be worth a crack at trying to get one of Port’s early picks considering the draft beyond probably 15 becomes quite even and not as deep with talent.
Pick swap news ahead of the Draft👇
- Brisbane is shopping pick 21. The first pick of night two is absolutely up for grabs.
- Collingwood has looked at trading up from pick 11.
- GWS unlikely to move from pick 9 before the draft.
- Port open to shuffling back picks 7 and/or 12.
Now this is commitment 💪
Great to see this group, particularly of our emerging young leaders looking to put the hard yards in before pre-season.
Merriam is already starting to turn heads at the club since crossing from the Dockers, liking his work so far.
A group of young @WestCoastEagles players are right now travelling to the United States for a gruelling week-long training camp.
H. Reid, Duursma, Ginbey, Hewett, Duff-Tytler, Lindsay, Allan among those heading to the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas.
Weights & running sessions, MMA training, and nutrition & sports science education all part of the program.
High Performance Manager Phil Merriman is travelling with the group.
Doesn’t faze me if we get him or not, but I’d still love to poach a quality small forward, now seemingly in the draft.
This is also the same person that said Gryan Miers will be an Eagle next year, so I’m sure it’s not entirely ruled out.
Rather than smashing the club for the trade made at the end of 2024, I commend the club for making the right decisions now and moving on.
Never the right fit unfortunately, hopefully the list spot open can allow us to match a bid and get Harper.
