The wait is finally over; footy is back!

It's a momentous week for the AFL, returning after an 11-week hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has also been an historic week for the West Coast Eagles, who on Monday afternoon departed Perth and made their way to the Gold Coast's Royal Pines Resort, where they will be based for at least the next four weeks.

The club has made a huge sacrifice to help restart the 2020 Premiership Season, but they are committed to the cause and eager to register some wins from their 'home away from home' in order to set up another flag tilt.

Let's take a look at the week that's been and how your Eagles have been documenting it via social media.
