For AFLW Round 2, we're proud to celebrate Maureen, a loyal Eagles supporter whose enthusiasm, positivity and love for the AFLW program have made every step of the journey memorable.
Part of the Journey
When asked what being a member means to her, Maureen’s answer was all about connection and support.
"The chance to support the team and be a part of their journey in the AFLW."
From the Club's early days in the competition through to the exciting future ahead, Maureen has loved following the team as it continues to grow and develop. Being a member allows her to feel connected to the players, the Club and the wider Eagles community, sharing in every challenge and every success along the way.
A Moment to Remember
When asked about her favourite AFLW memory, Maureen immediately reflected on a milestone moment in Club history.
"Being at their first win at Leederville against the Bulldogs and receiving a signed ball from Emma Swanson."
It was a day that combined the excitement of witnessing a historic victory with a special personal memento from one of the Club's most respected leaders. Moments like these are what make supporting the Eagles so rewarding, creating memories that stay with members long after the final siren sounds.
Footy with friends – the perfect match day
For Maureen, game day is as much about sharing the experience with fellow supporters as it is about the football itself.
"Getting dressed up in our Eagles gear and meeting up with friends."
Pulling on the Blue and Gold, catching up with friends and cheering on the Eagles together has become a treasured tradition that makes every AFLW match feel special.
Watching a star shine
When it comes to current AFLW players, Maureen is particularly excited by the impact of Ella Roberts.
"Would have to be Ella Roberts, she is so talented and leads the team with her enthusiasm for the game."
Maureen admires not only Roberts' talent, but also the energy and leadership she brings to the group. Her ability to inspire teammates and supporters alike makes her one of the most exciting players to watch as the Eagles continue to build towards future success.
Maureen's Message to the Team
If Maureen had the chance to speak to the players before they ran out onto the field, her message would be simple and heartfelt.
"Enjoy the game, you are winners already for being part of this awesome team."
It's a reminder to embrace every opportunity, enjoy the journey and take pride in representing the Club. That positivity reflects the spirit of Eagles members everywhere who proudly stand behind the AFLW team each week.
Through her passion for the AFLW program and unwavering support of the team, Maureen embodies what it means to be All the Way West. Members like Maureen help create the strong community that surrounds the Club, cheering on the Eagles every step of the way.
