TOPIC:

Cardy do you think the WAFC should sell the AFL licences back to the AFL.The SANFL has been thinking out aload about selling the Crows.Just last year a figure of around 30 million was mentioned.
My opinion is the AFL local clubs are assets of WA Footy and the price our WAFL payed for our joining of the expanded VFL competition.IMO a shake up of the commission could fix some of the problems. Going back 18 years with the formation of Peel.

The SANFL did hand back the licences as part of the Adelaide Oval redevelopment - from memory it was 19 & bit million netted

Any idea what the Dockers and Eagles are worth.I did hear somewhere the Eagles have 40 million in the bank.

If they sell the licences back then what remains of the WAFL will have been inexorably sacrificed and all the clubs might as well give up once that decision is made.

Agree swan42.The AFL clubs are assets of WA Footy and should remain so.

interview with Percy Johnson.. Today... another legend who sees it for what it is a load of bullshit.... Good round up of all the games as well.

Interesting to see it doesnt appear 7 is doing a WAFL broadcast this weekend...

See - this is what pisses me off the most re:Ch7 2015 telecast

The most even comp for years & no telecast this week in what will be the crux for about 5 teams position-wise

Farken joke

Absolutley they should sell them back, most recent values are , 24 Mill for the WCE and 19 Mill for the Shockers.

Bank the funds in a WAFL Capital Trust Fund that is 40 odd Million , have aboard of governors manage the fund and derive income, tell the AFL to F off and slug the AFL clubs a mint for every player drafted.

Agree on most of your points Bazza... Lets go back to the WAFL running the WAFL comp and let the Dockers and Eagles have their own licences and run their own race.
The new stadium will be run by the WA GOVT and not the WAFL.
Love the idea of making the Leeches at the AFL having to pay more... Lets not forget the AFL actually tried to buy the 2 WA AFL licences themselves.. Maybe take that path.

Piss of the WAFC and create another WAFL organisation using the current structure but without the Dogs of Commissioners that are running the WAFC and have vested interests and past histories (in most cases with the AFL sides)

As you say the funds obtained would go back into the WAFL coffers to promote Football in WA at all levels and development.

From Wiki just to clarify exactly what the WAFC is and does

The WAFC was formed in 1989 to manage the sport in Western Australia. The commission is registered as a not-for-profit association.

The commission assists in administering the West Australian Football League and is the owner of Australian Football League teams Fremantle Football Club and West Coast Eagles.[1

The WAFC operates Patersons Stadium, Western Australia's largest stadium


Heres the commissioners

AND THEIR Role

www.wafootball.com.au/wafc/about-us

Interesting that it says in part

The WAFC plays an important role in funding the ongoing development of football in all communities. This ensures that football is the best resourced sporting code in the State and can have the most active role in building better communities through various development programs. unquote

Best resourced they say... Gee WP are certainly not being able to use their iniatitive to resource their club..

Some have short memories... REMEMBER THIS..

ONE PARAGRAPH JUMPED OUT AND HIT ME... SO THE WAFC WAS TALKING TO 9 NO MENTION OF 7????
What came along???. something smells

The para in question... article dated 6 JULY 2013

·Negotiations between Channel 9 and the WAFC over next year's WAFL coverage have been extended until the end of the month.

SO the WAFC Claims they advised WPFC of negotiations with CHN 7 before WPFC Took up sponsorship with CHN 9 ... ok Lets look at the time frames

WP signed Channel 9 on as a sponsor on Feb 28 2014
WAFC Signed the contract with CHN7 on 7 March 2015

The WAFC was negoiating with CHN 9 in Jul 2013 and extended the negoiations for another month!!!!! SO AT THAT TIME THEY WOULD OF HAD NO REASON to warn WP on the 7 negotiations.
Hmm so when did they negoiate with CHN 7???? September 2013???? after the 9 negoiations?????

If you can catch my drift the WAFC must be incorrect re advising WPFC of CHN 7 actually getting the broadcast rights... (had they already decided on 7 but went through the Negotiations with 9?????????? ) Naughty

The commission is supposed to have the Minister of Sport overseeing it and has a permanent seat on the board, however my understanding is no ministers have taken a roll since the ALP first set the WAFC up after the financial collapse of the WAFL in the 80's.
