Who farted???

You have lost the plot, Swan.

Are you seriously suggesting (per your final para) that Subi are dominating the competition because fewer people are attending games?

Perhaps whilst he continues to ponder on his reflection he might be frank enough to admit that Subiaco's dominance is directly related to the lower attendances at the WAFL also.

If you meant the opposite ie fewer people are attending games because of Subi's dominance, then it is a sad reflection on your clubs in general, and individuals specifically. Subi only plays in one game per week - what is happening to the supporters at the other games?

Perhaps they are so pissed off that their club (and their opponents) are not doing enough to lift their standards to try and achieve what Peter Capes has so clearly articulated in his report.

Or is it (if you looked at the evidence from this esteemed forum) that they would rather sit home and piss and moan about high achievers ie the classic Aussie "tall poppy" syndrome.

Capesy might also explain how he magically became such a good operator after he left EF. Oh wait, no doubt it is because of the culture at Subi. The same culture that led them to think about arguing that "Asian c*nt" is not racist.

The Club sets very high standards and expectations, employs the very best people we can find who then all commit to these high standards and cultural norms. Coaches demand high standards in preparation and training and drive each other to set a professional environment with only one aim – to get the very best from every player. Players in the club must be of great character and part of the team, no excuses for individuals, all together and no cliques, they buy into the programs, support the leadership and more than anything else simply work harder for longer than anyone else.

Many external people continually disrespect the achievements of this club, but doing so after all three premierships merely reflects an ignorance of the Subi way. Dismissing league success by pointing to a financial influence is one thing but to then also apply that logic to the unpaid reserves and colts players success is absurd.

The AFL Alignment Model again demonstrated that the WAFL gained no advantage from the presence of the high-profile brand of the AFL Clubs where key areas like attendance & sponsorship are not growing. I am therefore very excited about the introduction of the West Coast Eagles standalone team in 2019 and as I have said before this alternative model can now hopefully harness the power and prestige of the AFL Clubs to provide a positive environment for the WAFL and its fans and supporters...."

After reading all that BC I sum it up in one word...ARROGANT! he did fail to mention a few things in that wankola like we recruit the best players coming back into the system, we weaken other WAFL clubs by doing this etc etc...but hey lets not let the truth fark up a good story LOL.

I think the answer to your question is contained in the question itself, StT.

You might like to enlighten me on how AFL players coming back into the WAFL system weaken their original club when most haven't been there for years?

JS you have misunderstood what I said in terms of there is a direct relationship between Subiaco's dominance and the current attendance rates at the WAFL. For your benefit: people have become disillusioned with Subiaco's continuing dominance. Who honestly thought at the start of 2018 thought that there were really only two possible winners of the 2018 GF. They were the same two that had played off in the 2016 and 2017 GFs. Who thinks that Subiaco won't play off in the 2019 GF?

At the start of a season supporters want some hope that this year might be the year. It is what I suspect is what keeps Perth supporters coming back year after year. However, there comes a time when one says enough is enough. And for you to have the temerity to question clubs' supporters. Check out Perth's supporters on this forum. Check out Swans's 2016 season and we continued to support Swans in 2017.

Pac-man I will mention Riggio before you try to deflect the conversation. The most recent recruit to Subiaco would improve East Freo this season if he was playing for East Freo against Subiaco rather than playing for Subiaco AGAINST East Freo. That is your club's modus operandi and has been for many years.

He might improve them Sean if he was going there but he doesn't weaken them by not...surely even you can understand that...hmmm...maybe not.
