58Shark this is why a proper debate on these forums is difficult. I think you will find our board works as hard if not harder than most. Bringing in well over a million a year in sponsorship and revenue. East Perth has also spent more than most on recruiting big name players. Our junior development spending I believe is top of the tree also, contrary to the myth. That is fact not just mouthing of or speculating about other clubs you don't know anything about.

Larry have you seen the TEAM PICTURE!!!!

Are they serious. I have always had great respect for the FOOTBALL BUDGET and the articles.. It has been the premium publication since the WAFL started.
Cant understand how Tracey actually printed this. As you say Growler it is a joke
and - shit what can you say? This has to be a collectors item

Tracey I would of preferred you to put the AUSSIE WORLD CUP SOCCER TEAM in the centre.
Bugger 0530 makes it a early start on Saturday v Chile... GO AUSSIES

The alignment has certainly hit rock bottom when they do this.. Was the picture provided by the Club or the WAFC?

I copied the pic in 2 parts but having a look at the listed players in the pic it like something out of X FILES.

Ok we have Wulff,Clutterbuck , Lee, Oakley Nichols,payne and a couple of others but wheres all the Eagles? I dont seem to remember this team running on v WP?

Looks more like the reserves team...farkn joke!

Sorry You have lost me again. What is stunning about this photo what have I missed. Running off team lists is pointless we all know the situation. We are a host club unfortunately Eagles players come with that.

Do any of the eagles train with this group

Do you really think that they are the only ones doing it hard? There are other teams that live almost hand to mouth, but haven't prostituted their club. They should have got off their collective arses and stopped relying on the Bronte handouts. To me, it is all about silverware to them...nothing else.

One board member, a previous sandover medal winner, did resign very early on when this was first mooted, that was his opinion. I see him every now and again in the terrace and he pays little or no attention to the club other than the colts.

I hold him and his opinion in high regard and hence my continued involvement in the colts.

What is "stunning" here is this photo is a fraud and a hoax! The majority of the players that play for this fraudulent joke of a club are NOT in this so called club photo, it is a misrepresentation of what is clearly a cover up...how stupid do they really think we are?

I think there was more than just that going on with him Grump. But he is a good guy and I also respect his opinion on the alignment. The photo is what it is, I suggest if our clubs get a chance to make things right they all negotiate with some flexibility this time and remember who pays the bills in WA football.
