    Fastest club in the history of VFL/AFL to go from Premiership* to Wooden spoon.

    Suffer!

    Oh it so great to read the hatred for those @@@@@ over in the west! They can rot at the bottom for years to come, with GC and GWS coming in, it really is not a good time to be a cellar dweller!

    Tainted, I tells ya.

    Tainted.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

    Swans Vs Eagles in the 2000's .... "the good guys won".

    The 2006 premiership should forever be labelled the drug premiership. Eagles supporters can bleat all they like that they have the cup but their shame will live on. The Ben Cousins documenary is further evidence of their culpability to the individuals impacted by their culture.

    May the ignominy of the wooden spoon remind the Eagles of their culture of the past 10 years.

    I still cannot believe that sick and sorry excuse for a club got away with the "drug' Premiership. The only player that got cut voluntarily was Aaron Edwards they got their premiership at any cost, turning a blind eye to the drugs whilst the core group was winning, quote Worsfold after 2006 GF :we are a close knit family"...after drug rumours "I knew nothing" ..yeah the PHARMACIST"...and what did Demetriou do not much,

    I always turn to the sports pages first, which record people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures......Earl Warren

    They did show Chick the back door to slip out quietly. And traded Gardiner to a team that suits his attitude.

    The silence is deafening in regards to Naitanui's supposed Rising Star season. Half way through the year you couldn't dare mention another name other than Nicnat, it's so pleasing that it ended up being one of our boys instead.

    That will happen when you shove a kid into one of the hardest roles on the field. Can you imagine Roos putting a Rookie into the Ruck. He would never do that to the kid.
