6 of the other 8 WAFL clubs supported the decision process

There may also be a second top up player request submitted to the WAFC if the alignment finishes in a low position on the WAFL ladder this season

So let me get this right.. WCE can get a AFL delisted player or a out of zone player that would be a 10 pointer as comphensation for a kid who has played very few League games (Keitel) and no AFL involvement and is a 1 POINTER

Now is this fair? NO!!!! It is another example of the WAFC bending the rules to suit EPFC and only one word I can think of is CORRUPT...

Surely having up to 15 players running on who would and are 10 pointer EPFC has already been granted well above the Points the WAFL clubs are allowed.
Certainly not a level playing field.

Why doesnt EP do what WAFL clubs do and promote a Reserve or a Colt to their league side like the G7 clubs have to do if injuries or cash doesnt allow them the luxury of just bringing another 10 POINTER AT NO COST.

The incompetent WAFC has a lot to answer for but who do they answer to? NO ONE

I agree with you mate - there is no way these two Alignment scums should get access to anything outside their zones at all

If 16 or more AFL jokers aren't enough then tough shit - use your reserves or good colts , that's it

They're already getting AFL $$$ , resources & obviously WAFC preference

It's a FUCKIN DISGRACE!!!

Is Dean Turner the full quid ?
Part of his reasoning was that they had played 3 colts from last year and young kids run out of gas, did he realise that Swans have played 11-12 colts from last year this year already.
We played 3 yesterday and still beat his mob who had afl listed players and ex afl players Johnson, Moss, Blee and the skipper Lee.
The bloke is a clown, what are they in the comp for ? Developing Eagles players ? Developing their own district players ? He doesn't know himself he just wants a flag and makes it up to get a flag without actually bothering to work at developing his own talent

The guy is trying to justify his existence at that joke of a club MO. Lets face it Twev calls all the shots down there whilst this joker is nothing but a yes man to him.
And on a side note we had 4 of last years Colts team playing yesterday that humbled Dicks AFL mob!

I read this story in the paper yesterday and I kid you not, I checked my calendar to make sure the date was not April 1st

It is wrong of course, as the EP Eagles have already received compensation in the form of the arbitration payment. They are allowed to recruit outside their zone if they finish outside the top three, every club has signed up to this.

What is the cash payment? $100,000 per club?

We're being used as an AFL match simulation implement and a donor to provide new fodder for the AFL cow

We're being allowed to have a competition as a sidelight but it will never be allowed to flourish & grow - that would be a threat to the machine

I'll be watching what happens once the Cockburn & Lathlain developments are completed because I think we'll find out pretty quickly what has been already decided for/as our fate

Personally I am hoping the "AFL" (that's the sickest joke because it will always be the VFL & be located in Victoria run by Victorians) goes under

exactly what I was driving at Southerner

Another point is 6 of our WAFL clubs presidents or committee approved the request
Now we can assume Peel and EPFC were two of them and I would say the other was
WPFC being the club that went through all the uncessesary shit to get Kietel to our club.

That leaves the other 6 clubs. WTF was going through their mind when they made this decision?
Why did they make this decision. Were they coerced?
I can understand Subiaco as they do what Don Randall tells them from the commission.

It seems strange that the other clubs would only be giving EPFC a added advantage once more and backing the club that jumped the fence and bought our game INTO DISPREPUTE.

I suggest and would like club members to ask their Presidents why the decision was made by their club. I suspect they will be met with some political crap.
Look forward to your responses... I will be asking Brett Raponi about this when I next see him at Lathlain.

Enjoy your WAFL as it is slowly becoming extinct.
