In his best interests? Playing only 2 months after being in rehab! Not one medical expert I have heard from has said that playing so quickly again was in his best interests. Bottom line was it was in the clubs best interest for him to be back on the field.

Richo is not a champion he has been a very good player and a great servant to your club. Archer is a champion, Kouta is a champion, Buckley is a champion, Hird is a champion - the common theme is they play their best when the game is on the line. Richo = Greg Norman = Chocker. Yeah the Eagles...

Its not just the Cousins issue, its the fact that players continually re-offend at the club and they don't put in place any effective sanctions. I really believe if we were on the bottom of the ladder, that Cousins when he came back from Malibu would never of played this year. Yet, the fact...

Was cousins set-up?? Pffff you have to be delusional. Why would he have avoided a blood test? Why would he have been driving recklessly on the road. The reason that our club is always in the media is the fact that these players are so blatant! I am guessing some players from other clubs are...

the use of the word "use" was very interesting! Not the smartest bunch down there at Tigerland.

Reject RIchard Hadley?? Ah mate get your facts right, Lions wanted him to stay and were disappointed he left, he is a premiership player and was a rising star at the Lions before he had two knee injuries. And I wouldn't be commenting to early on Setanta, both his marking skills and kicking...

I can't believe some supporters don't think the Eagles as a club have got anything to answer for? I agree the club can't control what a player does 24-7, but they have a duty of care to ensure that any players who don't tow the line are punished. What systems/punishments has the club put in...

Not like they are deliberately doing this?? Huh, sorry so Cousins is being forced to take drugs and Kerr was forced to abuse the taxi driver and Fletcher was forced to do whatever he did in Las Vegas. Bottom line is most of these players are irresponsible and don't learn from their mistakes...

Sorry all but I have infiltrated your Football Club. I am a Victorian Eagles supporter, however I have registered by details on the Carlton website to obtain membership details as I am really keen to get a 2008 Blues membership and watch Juddy and some of your younger boys push towards a...

I am just sick of SOME of the naive Eagles supporters who don't think the problem runs deeper than Cousins and that the Eagles can turn their reputation around in the short term. The Eagles brand will be smeared for at leat the next 10years and unfortunately to outsiders our premiership in...

Bottom line is the AFL can't be see as weak in this situation, they sat the Eagles down earlier in the year and they were put on their last warning if any player steps out of line again they wiil be punished. The Eagles took the gamble to bring back Cousins and it has backfired. The AFL also...

I am based in Melbourne, but travel to perth most weekends to watch the boys play, however I wont be renewing my membership next year, so one more perth membership and captain club membership space is now made available! Don't really want to elaborate on my reasons other than anyone who thinks...

I thinking the AFL will impose the following fines on the Eagles: (1) $1mil fine - $500k being suspended fine. (2) Lose first pick in draft. Which I think is equitable, bottom line is Worsfold and the club knew Cousins has had a problem for some time, yet when the club was experiencing...

Geez! How much would they be exposed in a footrace with some of the better half back flankers in the comp - Mcleod, Adcock, Shaw etc. That half-forward line is a very hot and cold half forward line. I think they should play Embley deeper next year as a flanker/pocket.

I can understand everyone's argument, however put yourself in his shoes (assuming you are a gun football) or his parents shoes, you can't half blame them for not wanting their son moving across the other side of the country at 17 away from all his family/friends. Lets be honest, as a parent...

I read the newspaper article in the Herald Sun about Trent Cotchin and I understand they were his dad's words but I think the club should have a serious think before they decide to pick up the youngster. What people must remember is he is only 17, he is only a young teenager. I was that age 4...

Look at the successful 1992 and 1994 teams?? - there weren't many non WA born players in both of those sides. Judd is not the first and won't be the last Victorian that has been homesick from Perth - Andrew Williams, Daniel McConnell, Trent Croad, Troy Simmonds to name just a few in the last...

As much as I feel disgusted uttering these words - Why wouldn't Collingwood be your first choice if you were moving back to Melbourne, if I was in his position I would be the same: > A team going places. > Start of the art facilities > Most marketable club in Victoria > Have the most...

Why do all fellow Eagles keep mentioning names of players that aren't WA born. I think we have learnt our lesson the hard way that maybe home grown talent should be a high priority when discussing potential trades for Juddy. Robbo is only looking at other options outside the dees because he...

Before I make my comments just wanted to say that I am not unbiased when it comes to making comments about Magpies - my entire family barracks for Collingwood as does my gf and her entire family, I despise the Pies. However, part of the reason I despise them so much, is because I rate their...

Thomas over-rated HACK? You can't be serious, I am not a Magpie fan at all, all of my family barrack for Collingwood and so does my girlfriends family, I dislike Thomas with a passion. However, I think the reason is, I am jealous how good he is. He is super quick, good user of the football...

Geez, many of us have short memories don't we, it wasn't even 12months ago that we are all over Chicky for his smother and shepherd which ultimately was the match defining moment for 2006 like Leo Barry the year before. I thought his form this year has been generally good, yeah his body might...

What our recruiting department needs to be careful of is not getting too greedy. Its a bit of a catch 22 situation: I don't want Juddy going to the club of his choice if he narrows it down to one in Collingwood, however I dont want a situation like Nick Stevens where we demand too much and we...

Very interesting the thoughts of fellow members in regards to this much maligned football. I must admit I am the first one to admit I have not been the biggest supporter of RoJo and often find myself abusing him at the game. I think what generally frusturated me the most was he always was...

Although I am not a great advocate of it, I think the Eagles may go down the same path as the Swans and Lions and appoint a couple of co-captains. I wouldn't be suprised if Adam Selwood's name is not at least in discussions. Word from members of the Eagles hierarchy is that if Judd had of...

Couldn't agree more. I am happy for the great man to return home, I am a Victorian as well and its the most liveable state in the country. As disappointed as I am, I know whats its like to feel homesick. I don't see Juddy as disloyal in the slightest he has served the club amazingly in 6...

Nicoski = over-rated. I don't know why all my fellow Eagles supporters rate his so high. He is not an accountable defender and his only option when in possession of the football is to bang the ball long with his raking left foot without having a clue what options are around him. His only...

Once again I must have a different opinion to most other eagles members, my preferred option would be to trade with Essendon. Most media and experts think that our forward line needs a lot of improvement, however I think one of our big issues this year has been teams kicking goals against us...

Can my fellow Eagles members/supporters take their rose coloured glasses off about our player base. Maybe because I am a Vic based Eagles member, so I see him play more often but Jarrod Waite = Gun. Yeah he makes decision-making errors sometimes and his kicking needs a little work, but he...

Am I just an unusual Eagles supporter? I am actually excited about the future, I am looking forward to recruiting a couple of new high quality youngsters and watching them develop. I am looking forward to watching players like Priddis, Rosa and Sammy B taking on more responsibility in the...
