I kinda hope the demands are not met so it can bring on a boycott in season proper and eventually quash this rubbish alignment comp

I am with you swandog. The premier may have to remove Cooper from his job if it gets that far

I'll be pissed off (as they say) for as long as this lasts. Going by the talk it will be for a far too longer time, if not reversed. Also it will be interesting to know the membership losses of both clubs. Dwindling membership and followers of the 2 said organisations will also send a strong message. One never knows, even big brother may get the hint?? Or maybe wishful thinking?

Ill be renewing my membership at Swans for sure as the club has a target of 5000 members for this coming season, i hope other followers dont jump off their clubs as it will hurt them

Dead right dog, stick with your club and rejoin. I hope the 7 WAFL clubs do boycott the 2 AFL teams for every game this season. There may be legal implications, so it would be extremely important the clubs stick together and hold fast. What are the WAFC going to do...fine clubs into submission or suspend licences? That'd be REAL smart...and finish the comp for good. Mind you, with their current form, they are stupid enough to do that.

In the end ALAS, power and money, means they will roll over (UNFORTUNATLEY)

Unfortunately Unka is correct, Power and money will win out.
The Eagles and Dockers you would have noticed have not said boo since they got what they want. They don't care now about the issue they have caused.
They know they will get what they want.

However if the group 7 decide to hold firm, get organised and all stick together, the boycott may work? If political intervention is needed, it depends which way because the wafl would need protecting and not under threat like now, if that makes sense. But reading between the lines, are the 7 wafl clubs holding out yet for more money? . As the preceeding comments have indicated, big business will get it's own way. Yes I too have noticed big business has been very quiet indeed since they've acheived what they wanted. They'll sit back and sweep all the bloody mess under the carpet. The wafl's in tatters and they'll pretend everything is fine.

It's going to be an interesting 3 months!
