The West Coast Eagles will be celebrating the loyalty of its members - who are the driving force behind the club’s fight for success - on Friday night. 

In 2016, the club broke its membership record when more than 65,000 people signed up as members of the club.

The passion for the blue and gold is also clearly demonstrated by our Member of the Round winners.

Being a West Coast Eagles member means something different for everyone.

For round 15 winner Scott Lilleyman, it is the pride of supporting the club he rallied behind all the way back in 1987.

“I was at the MCG to see the Eagles win their first flag in 1992,” Scott recalled.

“The day will always be my most special memory of the West Coast Eagles as I sat in the stands of the MCG with my parents and my brother.

“I remember watching the players run around the boundary knowing they had achieved the ultimate and thinking how lucky I was to be there.”

For round 18 winner Karen Higgs, who travels 848 kilometres for every home game, it is the opportunity to be part of a football family.

“I have sat in the same seats for the last 10 years with awesome fellow supporters who make the whole day lots of fun and who have also become my friends outside of football,” Karen said.

Round six winner Shirree Blazeski, who was born with vision in only one eye, is truly a one-eyed fan.

“We vowed on our wedding day to always support the mighty Eagles, and my husband (an avid soccer fan) honoured the vow by becoming a member with me” Shirree confessed.

A West Coast-themed wedding is not the only way our Member of the Round winners have shown their love for the club, with round 22 winner Greg Miceli literally going the extra mile for the Eagles this year.

“Greg turned 40 this year and rather than have a single party he has made it a full year party and is attending all Eagles home and away games this season,” Greg’s family wrote to the club.

“Greg attends all home games and is travelling to all 10 interstate matches this season to watch the team that he loves so much.”

The commitment shown by West Coast Eagles members never ceases to amaze. Thank you to all our passionate members who have supported the club all year.

It’s not too late to join the team for season 2016!
