For the third time in its exciting 20 year AFL history, the West Coast Eagles have taken the great silver premiership Cup from the MCG across the Nullabor to its resting place in Perth.

The Eagles were the power side of 2006. The minor premiers. The side that boasted the magnificent midfield of Juddm Cousins and Kerr and the game's pre-eminent ruckman Cox.

Under the coaching of two time premiership captain John Worsfold, the Ealges recovered from a soul-destroyng last-gasp loss to the Swans in the opening final. They bounced back at the MCG on the last Saturday in September to show the football world that they were again number one. Sydney and West Coast had been the game's great rivals in recent years. The Eagles out to avenge the 2005 grand final loss.out to re-establish their superiority.

And so it would be.

2006 - the year of the Eagles.
