Interesting that both teams have said for years they didn't have the $$$ to join a national reserves comp, then someone suggests a womens comp and the money is flowing?
Now I'm all for a ladies comp, have watched a couple of local games and the national exhibition games and it's good quality stuff and will attract decent sponsors going forward, but there is more than enough money for both.
But ..... it wont happen, whether we like it or not, it is highly likely that WC will field a reserves team in the WAFL and we will then match up with whats happening in SA. WC will wont everything based at Lathlain and I dont think for a moment that Perth will consider an alignment as they are a decent club who would put it to their members. If the AFL teams leave the WAFL we will have no TV coverage, there is no money in the ABC to do the coverage and CH 9 are only appearing interested because Ch7 were, if 7 cease, 9 wont waste their time doing it even if the same $$ are offered imho. If we lose all TV coverage that's the final nail for the WAFL.
