I can't wait until next year to see the bile and vitriol roll out again against Subi.

Anchor you know who I am and you know my views on all things Subi and Peel mate.... Very hard to be shafted to the extent that we have been by this alignment debacle by the WAFC mate. By all you means you suedo dockers / peel supporters jump on the bandwagon and cheer the mighty Dockers over the line on Sunday.

Punters have loaded up on Peel. Now $1.75 Subi $2.08. Expecting a close one.

There has not been a SWFL premier for the last 15 years that has not had a large influx of paid players.
As for South Bunbury they have not had much success the last 15 years and have tried the paying players route a few times to do it and come up short.
But bottom line is the poor club is weighted down from winning so much the previous 80 years.

ps South Bunbury will have at minimum 14 local players lining up for them in this weeks GF.
the other 8 will be the mercenary type players you mention.

There would only be a few WAFL clubs that have 14 local zone boys playing GWS and this weeks GF combatants certainly aren't one of them in fact they are in the worse few for imports.
Not sure that is a good thing for the WAFC who's charter should be all about promoting local zone boys but hey they don't reward those that do foster and nurture their own talent ...food for thought to borrow one of Cardy's old sayings!

BH comments that few WAFL clubs would have 14 local players in their league team, if that's true, where does that place Subi who had 12 (54.5%) local players in the second semi?

About 10 more than Peel?

And about10 more than good ol swans in their mercenary 1 point premiership of 2010 LOL.Other than that,they have been busy collecting wooden spoons or sending themselves broke.

Maybe they should hold this non event non interest GF in Victoria seeing as tho that is where the majority of players hail from ..probably get a bigger crowd over there too!

Can you name these so called 12 local zones from the 2nd Semi SS?
I will check that myself!

Jackson- Collie- Peel zone
Stevenson- West Coast JFC- Claremont zone

Is North Beach in Subi's zone?
I seem to remember LH was requesting that to change over from Claremont just recently.
