TOPIC:

Rockingham was East Fremantle's zone mate - South had east of that Kwinana etc downwards
And somehow we have contorted zones in what was EF & Perth nowadays

Nothing personal toward loyalist old EP supporters here but zones have to be reduced due to alignment assistance , and the realistic truth that pathways are heavily restricted - that's only fair

Mandurah - well I couldn't care less really , still nearly 300k in debt to the rest of us , nothing but trouble & embarrassment since 1997

But Rockingham should belong to South and Armadale etc should belong to Perth. Mate its obvious.

That said I want an even colts comp. Kids rocking up to training knowing they can't win?...Nah mate thats not on

Oh absolutely yeah - location-wise for sure it is obvious mate we know that.

Currently I believe we have 3 clubs divvying up Bunbury too , bloody ridiculous

But it could get worse if the Blue & Gold rubbish get their own side in the future too - sad to say

I sincerely hope we can go back to the even distribution of AFL players so that we can get back to doing what we all do best , producing players of quality in our traditional zones

I highly doubt the alignment will be extended at EP from what I have been told. Taking junior clubs away from EP is of no benefit to the WAFL going forward in my opinion. I think spreading some of Peel's juniors around is a start.

Interesting to note SF have done more than well at colts level of late yet little league success, whilst Subi colts have struggled yet dominated the league.....LH dont think WAFL zones have curtailed any Subi success mate.....as Dwert rightly said league success surely outweighs colts success come end of the day.......EP and Peel from a league level only need other WAFL, SANFL, TAC etc clubs to develop their potential league success....Subi have Domain to develop their league success....colts footy might be about future succes but it doesnt guarantee a club league success......

La Hinchas point if I understand it correctly is that we are dealing with 16 and 17 year old kids here who we want to encourage to stay in the game and if their team is getting flogged every week they are more likely get discouraged and give it up which is not what we want to see. Its also better for all players development if they are in competitive matches every week. The WAFC should consider this point when looking at the zones going forward.

We will have Ellenbrook back; the boys will be able to get the train (that Labor will build) and get off at Success Hill for training.

Serious question for LH ...are you having a lend of us with this topic?
In the last 31 years you are destined for your 9th flag, 16th GF appearance & 25th finals appearance this season in that time period with a (especially last 15 years) largely foreign legion playing squad. That is more than a decent run at it in any fair minded laymans terms and to be honest the continual success of Subi has been as detrimental to the overall interest or disinterest maybe more appropriate in the WAFL as the 2 alignment fiascos. Yes I understand that is League not Colts but if you believe that club ethos would change even after a zone redistribution then you are seriously mistaken!

The Presidents need to stare the Commission's Gun down and Vote the AFL Clubs OUT and to the East!

I for one,am tired of the AFL Clubs' excuses,they can't afford to send another team East 10 times,when they got Accommodation Concessions last year and they are both Very Cosy with Virgin now!

Time for them to go.Besides,Bazza reckons that Advertising Revenue should do us fine!

But who needs $100 Grand,when your competition is being bent over anyway?!I am fed up with us being Divided and Conquered,so c'mon folks,time to start renewing pressure on the Clubs,to piss off the Eagles and Dockers from the WAFL!Then we might see how really interested 7 are in Telecasting the WAFL!

Time for the 9 Clubs to Address this issue 1st and Foremost.If Peel and East Perth don't like it,bad luck.Majority of the WAFL Clubs Rules.West Coast and Fremantle should have Absolutely ZERO say in this!

Address this Important issue 1st,before moving onto the Zone Debate!

First up - sell that maggoty pair of licences straight back to where they belong Grass , Vicco

Thus weakening the influence & giving us a future at the same time

Your comment is interesting Larry about EP and the alignment going forward.Does that mean the Eagles will form there own side like the Crows in the Sanfl..The Wafl goes to a 10 team competition.Will be a better draw with an even amount of sides playing each other side twice.Home and Away.
