IN A letter to supporters, West Coast CEO Trevor Nisbett has said the club believes the AFLW side will be back in Western Australia on February 8 before completing a 14-day quarantine.

Along with Fremantle, the Eagles are currently in the middle of a three-week stint in Victoria, but have had two games called off due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

The Eagles have played three of four games, and had been scheduled to play an extra match in order to bank games before returning home.

Most players, coaches and staff members have work and family commitments outside of the AFLW, hence the urgency to get the West Australian sides home.

"Changes to the original border opening dates for Western Australia have also meant trying to play some of our fixtures on an accelerated basis, while we're already in Melbourne," Nisbett said in a letter to supporters.

"As it stands, we're planning that the AFLW group will be back in Western Australia on February 8, to complete their 14-day quarantine period.

"All in all, our AFLW team has yet to have an uninterrupted season in the competition, which is really disappointing for our club and our members, but we will continue to work as hard as ever to keep improving our on-field performance."

Nisbett also addressed the club opting not to design a guernsey for Pride Round.

The Eagles were the only one of 14 sides to not do so, with coach Michael Prior telling the West Australian the "pride stuff had been done to death". He subsequently issued an apology statement.

"Earlier this month, it was widely reported that we were the only club not to wear a dedicated guernsey for AFLW Pride Round," Nisbett said.

"In short, we got it wrong by not having a Pride Round guernsey ready for 2022. We have always acknowledged the role of the AFLW Pride Round in promoting recognition and inclusion for LGBQTIA+ people and the challenges faced by the community.

"We have long championed diversity and inclusion as a club, and have a strong history in Indigenous, multicultural and female football programs and activities, amongst others."

Nisbett also revealed he anticipated changes to the AFL side's fixture given WA's border situation. 

"As much as we hope it won't, no doubt the fixture released late last year (including the AAMI Community Series match scheduled for March) is subject to change, especially given Western Australia's current border arrangements," he said.

“We will continue to work with the State Government on how to best navigate requirements to keep the AFL fixture on track and will keep you informed as soon as we receive any relevant information."
