West Coast Eagles coach Adam Simpson said his team will return to Perth after round five's clash with Richmond if his team are forced into hotel quarantine upon their return to WA.

The West Coast Eagles have delivered something of an ultimatum on their stay in Queensland, saying they must be allowed to return to Perth after their round-five match against Richmond, if they are required to quarantine in a hotel on their arrival in WA.

The Western Australian sides have been in a hub on the east coast for nearly two weeks, and will be there for another three weeks according to the current fixtures. "To play another two or three games here, and then have to go back to Perth and sit in a hotel for another two weeks … we're not here to complain, but we have to look after our staff and players and it's probably a bridge too far."

, so our priority is footy, but we've also got to look after our players and staff and their health and wellbeing," he said.

Most of the Eagles home ground advantage comes from the crowd and their influence on the umpires. Their is literally no difference playing in Queensland when their is no crowds. I haven’t see Fremantle whinging like this lot do.

To report that the Constitution and related Documents says it should be done this way and not the way they did handle the exaggerated pandemic?
