Waalitj Marawar sits at 0-4 after the opening month of the 2026 AFL season. The team, coached by Daisy Pearce, reached the finals last year but has failed to secure a victory in its initial four matches. The Eagles join Essendon, Collingwood, and St Kilda as the only clubs currently without a win. Despite the current record, observers noted positive signs during the team's recent performance against Narrm, where the Eagles led after the first quarter. Players Ella Roberts, Charlotte Thomas, and Lucia Painter have been identified as showing improved individual form. The team faces a difficult upcoming schedule, beginning with a match against Brisbane followed by consecutive games against fellow winless sides St Kilda and Essendon.
