Considering all the talk about a certain club continually paying well above the salary cap I found that amazing TRSM....although hardly surprising! |

I was referring to a financial Audit. Yes the WAFC check player payments against the contracts list sent to them. Unless a club was stupid enough to have available for viewing 2 sets of accounts, deliberate rorting of the salary cap would never be picked up in a normal audit. The method used by some clubs is to have sponsors / supporters purchase a VISA debit card (purchase at Post office) and load $$ on to it and have the club give it to a player, Untraceable purchases are then made by the player. Payments considered by clubs to be outside of normal player payments, like Swans paying for Gaepans parents to come over and watch a milestone game are picked up by the WAFC inspection were considered as player payments undeclared but even when included Swans were still under the cap, although they were fined for sloppy paperwork |

Well the challenge has been laid down, interesting to see if old mate and his mate take it up. As for George, well he well and truly deserves every $ he is on, bet he won't be getting the West Perth 4 cents in every $ up at Basso. Pretty good up their at Joondalup, pay all their players 100 cents in the $, just not their bills and creditors. And then for good humour the WP boys have FF at work on the EF site, but seriously if he is getting more than 4 cents in every $ for his contributions then its over the mark. Unless of course his pocket money is 10 bucks a week. Anyhow, pretty impressed with the explanation from therealswansman. Seemed factual, considered and (importantly) happy to stump up if proved wrong. |

You sound articulate in patches Swansmen. Once again, I clearly stated that I am not phased, sure on the actual number of players or even give a shit as to what position Swans would have been in. I am stating that I know for certain 1 x player didn't receive his payments and he said others didn't either (the latter I can agree is unsubstantiated). I don't and won't reveal my source, Swandog and BH know who Im talking about and if they want reveal it, go for gold, for mine, it is irrelevant now, I only mentioned it because it shits me to tears when the likes of yourself, BH and Co go WP bashing, it is what it is, let it go. To finalise and reiterate, at the initial meeting last year us Members were told we had go down the path we did or fold, there was categorically no other option, Im not a man of numbers so I and all other Members had to back the people in charge and let it pan out. |

if swans members had backed the people in charge we would have gone to the wall. Instead we threw out the ones that didn't have the decency to fall on their swords and started a fresh. I don't recall ever bagging out West Perth. They knew what the position was, why do you think they asked Brett Raponi to step aside in favour of Swans former CEO. |

Thanks for the reply...that last line of response pretty much sums up why I’m struggling to remain emotionally involved over the past 16months. |

Don't get frustrated by the numpties and there are a few of them. Swans are one of the clubs that made business decisions and have worked to get themselves into a better position whilst other just throw in the towel. My club took a decision that we all hated and got pilloried for and rightly so but we at least saw the issues before they got to out of hand. You only have to question some of the numpties and they get antsy but is just a reflection of the person. Keep up the honesty We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so stupid people won't be offended

DW - I have no problem with the club trying to re-position itself as a community provider for different services as i think that is our best chance of survival as a football club. We will be able to get revenue into the club to support those programs and therefore be able to keep running as as the SDFC.
I would like to see the club provide members and supporters with more up-to-date news on football matters and look to provide their thoughts on how we are looking for this season and the years ahead. the footy manager, coach and footy director need to step up and let supporters know what is happening. no problem with stories on community activities but doesnt mean we cant also have football updates.

This is what you wanted Mark.
Coaches Pre-Season Update Wednesday, March 27, 2019 - 1:06 PM After a long pre-season we go into 2019 with a few knowns and a few unknowns. The squad looks considerably different from years past, and even looking at our team photo from last year, I think there was 30 faces in that picture no longer in our squad. There are still our senior group Notte, Ellard, Riggio, Howard, Gault, Blakely, Noble, Payne, Turner and Clutterbuck, and the younger brigade that started to show some positive footy in 2018 in Hackett, Wilson, Ercreg, Raynor, Italiano, Cipro, O’Sullivan, Reidy, Fullgrabe, Dean and Maguire. Throw in a reasonably successful reserves group and Colts squad that played off in a grand Final. We will have a young group, but a talented group. All the hard work from Phil Smart and Mick Moylan has come to a bit of fruition with the more senior additions to our senior squad. We seem to have added some real quality top end talent with Jesse Glass McCasker coming back to the club after a stint at AFL, George Hampson from East Fremantle coming off a best and fairest and Josh Simpson coming back to Perth after playing up in Geraldton and working away for the past couple of years. Also coming BACK to our club are some senior guys in Leigh Kohlmann and Anthony Stephens, both more senior in age but still relatively young in playing experience at this level. These five guys have already had an impact over the summer with our group, and hopefully will in the season proper. Two younger guys in Aiden Clarke and Dylan Smith are back in 2019, both are extremely talented young men who probably realised that WAFL footy needed another crack from them. The pre season training program had a real focus on our standards. Lifting our standard of training and application to the program, instilling good behaviours to our younger squad that will stand them in good stead for future seasons as well as this one. I thought this was evident in our pre season hit out against Subiaco. Although going down by 6 goals, we actually won the second half on the scoreboard and looked to be running well at game end. Looking at the proper season which is almost upon us, our overall mentality will be continual improvement. This looks like it is going to be a tight season in the WAFL, with every game a big one. Eighth is not where we want to finish again, and we have been working extremely hard to be better than that this year. There will be ups and downs with our young squad, but, there will be exciting times throughout 2019. Our last pre season game is this week away against Claremont, and then Round 1 the following week at home against South Fremantle. Hope to see you all throughout the year. Adam
