The Eagles’ seventh full-time AFL senior coach is up for the challenge of guiding West Coast up the ladder

After a whirlwind 24 hours since his appointment, the West Coast Eagles’ proud and excited new coach Andrew McQualter was crystal clear about one thing: it’s time to get to work.

Having received the good news in a phone call from CEO Don Pyke as he drove home from a family holiday on Sunday, the next morning McQualter was on the plane to Perth with his wife Jane and daughters Emily, Alice and Georgia.

Following the initial meet and greets with players and staff, and tour of Mineral Resources Park, the Eagles’ seventh AFL senior coach was keen to get down to business.

“From day one we need to improve, there’s no question about that,” McQualter said at his introductory media conference alongside Pyke and Chair Paul Fitzpatrick.

“Around expectations, I don’t really live in that space, we’ve just got to get better every day.

“Find ways to improve the way we play, find ways to improve our habits, what we do every day and demand that of each other because that’s what it takes to be great in this game.”
