No I am talking about the WA 18s squad that play against SA, Vic Metro & Country et al.

Seriously, just play kids from local comps, 16,17,18,19 year olds. Make up the difference.

From the figures I mentioned previously we may have had the following missing for some colts' games. Missing ( WA squad members, 2-3 PSA students, 5 or so injuries making a total of about 17 out of 23. Are you seriously suggesting that it is feasible to replace those 17 with players from junior clubs who have not trained at Swans. You don't think there might be a problem with the players not knowing each other? Teamwork not a problem? You also think there would be no problems with fitness levels either?

Also, speaking specifically about Swans there is the potential that some colts' players may be promoted to our higher grades.

How many actual VFL draft picks in 2016?
70 to 80 ? 90 ?

That is why there are intakes every year , across Australia leagues have to replace up to 100 kids each year in systems

That is why we are even bothering with this rubbish

Only been forced - give you one guess who by

So there we have it. It's OK to wreck the local comps for the good of wafl colts. We need the players just in case.

If u can't see what ur saying is decimating local comps than u really don't get it.

No I didn't say that at all. What I said specifically was that players not required to play in the WAFL colts' team go back to their local junior footy team. Benefits of that is the experience those players get by training at a WAFL club flow back to the local junior players.

By the way who organises the junior matches around Basso, Midland and the hills?

Send them back to the local clubs that had their registrations back in early Feb? That has folded due to lack of numbers and registration?

Send the 10 kids back that all played in 16s together but now don't have a 17s?

Which club(s) has that happened?
By the way you omitted to tell me who runs the junior footy competition around Basso,Midland and the hills?

Run by the district that's run by the wafc, made up of multiple junior clubs

It's happened to every junior club in the metro area at some stage over the 20 years.
