History

The Western Eagles Football Club has competed in the Colac DFL since 1996. They are the result of a merger between the Pirron Yallock Football club and the Irrewillipe Football clubs in 1996. Both clubs were members of the Colac DFL until rural decline forced the clubs to merge because of lack of players.

Since the merge the club has made the finals on four occasions, 1998, 1999 2001 and 2004. Since then the club has struggled on the field, finishing last or second last every year since 2006. They have won only fourteen games in their last 118 matches.

gollark: It keeps clogging up with spare maple wood.
gollark: This is my phyto-gro machine. It will probably break in a few minutes when some ratios get out of balance, and it's drawing something like 200RF/t.
gollark: Well, if I can find some diamonds and make a quarry to obliterate a chunk or two, maybe some will turn up.
