2024 Expectations

The Eagles have had a terrible couple of years but the acquisition of number 1 draft pick Harley Reid who will slot straight in will be some help. Expect Eagles to be in and around the wooden spoon spot again in 2024.

Key Player

Tim Kelly

Having signed a 6-year contract estimated worth $5 million in 2020 West Coast will be hoping one of the best midfielders in the game can help bring them back to the Finals.

Watch out for

Jeremy McGovern

His injury in the early rounds of 2023 were key in the Eagles underperformance. His reintroduction towards the end of the 2023 season made West Coast a much tougher proposition.
