TOPIC:

Stinker, agree with a lot of what you say but I’d suggest a complete clean out of those running the comp and get the commission in there to run it as a development competition for clubs who may not be at the administrative, financial or other level required for PFL.

If I were a sponsor of the league, I’d of been getting as far away as I could after the way they acted on their social media accounts last year.
Amazed the WAFC haven’t given them a show cause.

Highpants,
Yes indeed. Running it as a club development program/league under the commission would indeed be a sensible development!

Less than a month and a half out any murmurs of clubs going down to 1 team or pushing to increase to either 2 or 4 from E-Grades?

Looks like a few e grade clubs have nominated 2nd sides and a few have also nominated colts. This list is from playhq, casting an eye across clubs 2024 nominations, there may be a few I’ve missed.

E Grade sides coming up to c5
Kenwick (up from e1)
SNESA (up from e1)
Lynwood Ferndale (up from e2)
Yanchep (up from e2)
Dianella Morley (up from e2)

New Sides nominating Colts
Forrestdale (c3)
North Mandurah (c5)
Armadale (e1)
Kelmscott (c5)
Rossmoyne (c5)

Sides nominating 3rds teams (up from 2 teams)
Osborne Park (c3)
ECU Jets (c5)

I’m unsure on the changes in the women’s as these aren’t showing up yet, but will be interesting to see if the trend continues of team numbers going up.

Anyone else have any inside knowledge on big changes?

Highpants,
Great to see new clubs getting Colts up....that is your future sustainability.

Hearing rumours C/Lakes will have 3rds, thus a bit of depth.

So that looks like C5 will have 18 teams which is too big. There 13 teams in C5 last year with some clubs playing more games than others. Should be 10 teams in c5 and 8 teams in c6

Wyccy down to E grade sees a shuffle through the C grades and rumours Basso are asking to stay in C1 would see likely one of the relegators get to stay up in B grade.

Anyone know about Ellenbrook accepting an offer to go C2

Big shock that High Wycombe have gone to 1 team as they were in B Grade a few years ago. The area is a young area so somthing has gone wrong. Ellenbrook up to C2 after finishing 3rd

Yes can confirm that we were offered and accepted to go up to C2.

Continue our rivalry with Belmont & the Cobras as well as bringing back the “Battle of the Burley” with the Valley. Looking forward to Viper having to buy me drinks…..
