Just getting our colts comp right is far better than that alternative.

I am not sure that is quite right LH but more to the points well illustrated by MO from earlier in the topic.
Considering at Swans we have been uncompetitive this year to the point where we have secured our lowest ever score twice this season & 6 of our lowest scores of all time and our lowest points for in our 84 year history do you believe SD should be entitled to extra help re the zones at years end LH?

It would have already been in operation by now except they don't want to pay for it

Well partly mate. But the real push now is coming from the WAFL academy folk. It may not happen if we get things right in the first place.

Zones no. Your colts and development squads are awesome and your playing numbers in the zone are very good.

Financial Help in finding a way to recruit seasoned players into your league team - Yes

By that I mean, I would consider the bottom side (At league level) receiving an extra $50,000 for two 10 point players and the second bottom side to receive $25,000 for 1 extra player. Added outside the points cap as well.

Hopefully that would even things up and at the same time do so without compromising zones or colts footy.

Dead right.

They don't need anymore help. They're already using up 200+ plus points every week.

you couldnt make any decision on zones until the host club situation is worked out, why do Peel have the most juniors when they dont even need them.
you would also need to factor in growth areas and projection of residents, maybe Subi's areas may expand and you will find that the growth areas in football clubs would be in Subi and West Perth areas in the North and not in Claremont's zone so it all requires a bit more thought than just looking at numbers and saying give Subi more.

any the requests are rather hollow when you look at the league ladder which is all that counts the Subi people continually tell us, not the colts ladder.

A factoring in of growth areas into the 2016 boundary redistribution would be most welcome.

MO: I know what you mean about the success in the league, and your right I would certainly prefer it, but it does sting to see no wins against our club's name in the colts --- every level represents the jumper and all the tradition associated with it.

What's going on at at Subi with the colts.
They are advertising for a new colts coach, having burnt 2 already this season.
