    Off-field drama won't impact the Eagles

    West Coast has made plenty of off-field headlines in recent months but Paul Roos doesn't expect the drama to affect their performance.

    Good stuff Roos. I reckon it may have the opposite effect on the Eagles.

      Damnit, assuming that Davo turned up to training then that means he was across the road from my house yesterday and I missed a perfect stalking opportunity
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        WC are in a downward spiral. No way will they win against us. No way will they make top 4 this year.

        When a club with a culture of partying hard wins a grand final, well, the rest is history.

          I happen to think the early money is that they are going to suffer a "Port Adelaide-like" hangover.

          They have been very arrogant since taking the flag. To me they are likely to bounce all of their reality cheques.

            I keep thinking of when Carey left the Roos in 2002, it was roughly the same timing, and the Roos went over the Adelaide and won....

              The Embley and Chick dust up says it all, the team is divided and i reckon if it keeps up Judd will be looking else where IMHO for greener pastures.

                Wouldn't it be funny if he ends up coming to Sydney. I mean it won't happen..but would be such a shock. And why not we have an awesome setup.

                He can captain the swans anyday Juddy!

                    He would be the epitome of the "No @@@@@@@@s" policy. Better to go for Judd when he gets tired of the West Coast circus.

                      thats a red rag to a bull - dont ever say that - these things have had a habit of making a team all the more determined to succeed - I hope I'm wrong of course, but you cant ever write West Coast off, no matter how much we'd all like to. I know I would like our boys to thrash them, but the doubting Tomasina in me thinks that wont be the case.

                        I think Demsone meant Judd, not Cousins

                          IMHO I think Judd will be leaving at the end of the season. And I think that is what everyone is worried about over here.
                          It is about bloody time Cousins got done. I mean everyone is starting to feel sorry for him, but this bloke has acted untouchable and now he is not. How many "last chances" did he want.
                          Anyway on with the footy I say....cant wait for R1!

                            For the Swans it should be business as usual as indicated by Roos, and I must agree with him. I don't want to predict where WCE is going to finish this year, because they have too many good players in their midst to contemplate such thing. They'll certainly have some premiership hangover like many other clubs (remember us last year), but I wouldn't credit that to Cousins fiasco.

                              I don't think Cousins will be the last Eagle to face suspension judging by the rumours and press reports that are flying around. In-fighting and admissions that other players have drug problems tend to indicate a cultural problem that won't be easily fixed.

                              The Eagles will be dangerous on March 31 but I think we deserve to be warm favourites.

                              Judd wants to defer his contract talks until after the season so IMO he will go back to Melbourne if he's not happy with the off field issues at West Coast. Definitely Sydney should sound him out though.
