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: This is interesting! I'm testing ways to improve the performance/memory use of the Minoteaur inevitable semantic search thing, and it turns out that using a dimensionality reduction thing on the embedding vectors makes some searches turn out identically, and some using rare keywords like "apioform" turn out poorly.
gollark: Obviously minoteaur will include "counter" capabilities.
gollark: Well, your perception of it can be changed, and it might be beelike perception.
gollark: Oh BEE, this only captures 66% of variance in the data!
gollark: Any fatal compile runtime errors would then be Resulted into warning returns by the prelude.
