West Coast AFLW coach Michael Prior has quit his post, effective immediately, with two games left in the year. The Eagles moved out of the wooden spoon race with an upset win over Essendon last weekend but will miss out on the finals for a fifth straight season. Prior, a former Essendon and Eagles player, took charge last year and led West Coast to just five victories from 28 matches.

” Prior’s tenure was marred by a series of controversial remarks around pride guernseys, umpiring and the fixture. Two weeks ago Prior blasted the AFL’s decision to make strugglers West Coast play last year’s premiers Melbourne in the 18-team competition’s uneven 10-round season. “How we play that team is beyond me. That is what you get when you get fixturing like that,” Prior said after the 70-point defeat.
