I wonder who is up? Typical WAFC of giving limited information to the general public
We need fresh blood with a real passion for community football

Any grubby little politician who kicked a football once will be scrambling to get on the commission to get a free seat for him and his misses at the new 2 billion dollar stadium.

Who gets to vote?

I'm not sure but it was advertised in last Saturday's West as well. My vote would go to 42, BH, MO and Swandog as heaven knows what we would do if Swans weren't the be all and end all of the WAFL.

One thing is for sure under this Subiaco dominated commission the WAFL has gone backwards....and I am also positive if Swans had won 19 or 20 games in a row like a certain other side we would have grown the comp exponentially more than the current trend of going backwards at a rate of knots with your domination with little to no supporter base to speak of!

Bazz I have searched far and wide for an explanation of the process that is used by the WAFC the best I came up with is this thesis completed by Gregory Italiano titled Government and Sport: The case of the West Australian Football Commission 2002. Very interesting read.

Sorry I'm not as up to date as you are on all things WAFC so can you let me know which commissioners, besides Randall are current or ex Subi people, and what allegiances the other commissioners have?

3 are former East Perth players, 1 WCE former Chairman, 1 from Ammos - University, 1 Subiaco and not sure about Cheryl

I thought she had an affiliation with Claremont TT but you'd know better than me.

Is this an opportunity for Gloede to get the arse as the so called WAFL rep on the WAFC
